A lot of the misfortunes of the Elves and Men of that age was caused by the lies of Morgoth. He wanted them to destroy each other, or end up becoming so weak that his minions could destroy them. I think that he probably got a perverse sort of amusement from "watching" what happened to Turin. It almost seems like a soap opera.
