A lot of people aren't sure about the nature of false flags operations, so I thought this could be an interesting fact worth sharing.

Bush discussed the idea of a false flag attack involving painting a US aircraft in fake United Nations markings to provoke an invasion on Iraq.

To troll the Iraqi government into starting a war that Bush and Blair wanted.

I wonder if at the meeting blair was like "why do we even have to fake anything, just say they have WMDs, everyone will believe us, people are retarded"

Yeah, it's a pity we can't force these sociopaths out of our countries and isolate them on their pedo islands. Maybe the pandemic has created that opportunity? Blair should at least be banned from entering the UK.
