Just couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Again, Mikey was right. Footclan, starting wars, use your allies as bait and now PURPLE DRAGONS? Where does it end?

@waezi2: No, Mikey is wrong. He thinks everything is suppose to be black and white "superheroes beat bad guys" type of thing. He doesn't realise that they're ninja. And would you want them to ignore them and keep getting attacked? That makes no sense at all.

@champion99: There are grey areas... and then there is using one of your allies as bait WITHOUT telling him in order to provoke a war. And to top it all, Splinter knows that Harold is Donnie's friend, meaning that even if Mikey and Raphael has a bad taste with what their father is doing, they will still assist him in his attack because Donnie asks them to stop complaining and assist them.

What Splinter is dong is quite... despicable. Brilliant... but despicable.

Also, he keeps secrets from them, like Cassie becoming the leader of the Purple Dragons and only lets them know when they have their hands full and therefor can't have enough time to question it. He is playing his own children. I get where he is coming from, and it's a question about making the reform of the Foot Clan bear fruit.

... But DUDE!

Something feels wrong. Splinters recent actions makes this more interesting...

Who said it was without telling him? He seemed to know what he was doing the whole time and he was able to escape. We won't know until hear his side of the story.

And that's bad because? Like he said a few issues ago, they kept secrets from him as well. Why would they need to question it? That would just cause unnecessary debate that would waste time.
