My take, for what it is worth! - Whilst Sonny's blunder may have been catalyst in bringing Sollozzo and Barzini's [“it was Barzini all alongâ€] plans forward especially with Vito handing Luca on a platter
- It seems to me Sollozzo, Barzini / Tattaglia did not have Plan B There's much they can learn from the Great man Roth!
- Sollozzo and Barzini undoubtedly thought Vito would be dead [five shots and he's still alive] Game on!
- Sollozzo's evil smugness, when Sollozzo told Tom to talk to “Sonny, the caporegimes Tessio, Fat Clemenza and the other two kids†believing Vito was dead and of course Luca was already dead
- My view, the above including Sollozzo's “bad luck for me and bad luck for you [Tom] if you don't make that deal!†and later Sollozzo's meeting with Michael was just a ploy buying time until the murder of Vito Then Vito's Judges and Politicians could be bought over
- I believe it was not about Sollozzo “letting Sonny’s show of greed convince him that Sonny would make a deal even if he killed Vito:†as Sollozzo and Barzini were banking on Vito's death, then canvassing the Judges and Politicians who were in Vito's pocket
- I believe Sollozzo and Barzini would have known “No way was he [Sonny] going to negotiate a deal with Sollozzo†with or without Sonny's greed after Vito's murder
- If Vito had died, I doubt any Judges, Politicians would remain loyal to the Corleones especially with Vito dead and Barzini offering them a lot more money - “all our people are business men, their loyalty is based on thatâ€
- Sure thing “No question that Vito had to go†either way - Yes or No
However when Vito survived his two murder attempts and â€Solozzo made a fatal mistake in underestimating Michael†Bring it on!
