And the ratio of false flag operations to false accusations of false flag operations is about 1:99. Lots of unlikely things "do happen," but if that's the immediate explanation you reach for you're going to be wrong most of the time.

Where did I say it was my immediate explanation and this is _likely_ what is happening?

You might want to take this up with that "rdtsc" guy who wrote "As someone else pointed out this is a classic false flag operation." He seems to disagree with you on those points.

Oh right, I know him! He is a decent fellar. I think he was saying if US is attacking its own infrastructure, then a false flag operation is a plausible explanation. Talking to him a bit revealed he didn't say this US attacking itself.

Not suggesting this is a false flag operation, but pointing out the concept as some commenters seemed unfamiliar with it.
