You have to watch out for those Russians – they will attack themselves before you get a chance.
It’s like that Eminem verse: “You better get rid of that 9, it ain’t gonna help. What good’s it gonna do against a man that strangles himself?”
Western countries accused Russia on Monday of plotting to use a threat of a bomb laced with nuclear material as a pretext for escalation in Ukraine, as Moscow evacuated civilians from a southern city in anticipation of a major battle.
With Ukrainian forces advancing into Russian-occupied Kherson province, Russia’s defence minister Sergei Shoigu phoned Western counterparts on Sunday to tell them Moscow suspected Kyiv of planning to use a so-called “dirty bomb”.
Both sides are accusing each other of this.
They are both saying the other is doing a false flag, with the West claiming Russia is doing a double false flag – that is, a false flag to make it look like the West did a false flag.
In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of France, Britain and the United States said they had all rejected the allegations and reaffirmed their support for Ukraine against Russia.
“Our countries made clear that we all reject Russia’s transparently false allegations that Ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb on its own territory,” they said. “The world would see through any attempt to use this allegation as a pretext for escalation.”
In an overnight address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the Russian accusation was a sign Moscow was planning such an attack itself and would blame Ukraine.
“If Russia calls and says that Ukraine is allegedly preparing something, it means one thing: Russia has already prepared all this,” Zelenskiy said.
“So when today the Russian Minister of Defense organises a phone carousel and calls foreign ministers with stories about the so-called ‘dirty’ nuclear bomb, everyone understands everything well. Understands who is the source of everything dirty that can be imagined in this war.”
They used to say that false flags were totally impossible, and the concept itself was invalid because no one would ever do that.
Now they constantly accuse Russia of doing or planning false flags.
If this is the new social norm – that everything could be a false flag – then it seems to me that Alex Jones deserves a new trial. I don’t really know how anyone can argue with that.
The CIA will say “we are too moral to ever do a false flag,” but their history shows that this is not a serious statement. Further, I don’t think a government that is trying to force children to mutilate their genitals is too moral for anything, ever.

Regardless of who does it (it would obviously be the West, but regardless), a “dirty bomb” would provide a reason for the US to invade the Ukraine and to implement some kind of martial law at home.
This is serious business.
