@Smersh A false flag is a term used to describe a covert operation in which an attack or a harmful event is carried out with the intention of deceiving others into thinking that another group or country is responsible. The goal of a false flag operation is to create a situation that can be attributed to a different party in order to justify military, political, or economic actions against them. False flag operations have been carried out throughout history by various governments and organizations, often with the aim of shaping public opinion, inciting conflict, or advancing a hidden agenda. The term 'false flag' originates from naval warfare, where ships would raise the flag of a different country to deceive their enemies.
