Dude.

I understand wargaming. I understand considering all possible approaches to a problem. I understand formulating hypotheticals to get a feel for what is and is not acceptable.

BUT.

There are things that moral actors do not do. Like commit false flag operations. Or give serious consideration to committing false flag operations.

I have nothing to say about conspiracies. I am talking about history, something that actually occurred and potential lessons it can teach us. Like 'Don't trust the government to not do evil shit.'
