North Korea hasn't ever done anything like this so it's truly out of line to begin speculating that it's a "false-flag to start a war on the Korean peninsula" - way to blame the victim


North Korea does lot of evil and insane stuff and I'm quite a fan of conspiracy theories, but this just make no sense.

What is a terrorist attack? Cynically speaking a huge PR coup. A terrorist attack without a confession and a statement makes only sense if it is clear who was it and why they did it. Since the last thing is not given I'm expecting something like this anytime soon. Before there a narrative has formed. But what should NK "promote"?

But for NK this makes no sense. It would be suicide of the hole state. A false flag makes little sense since this is just too absurd to believe.


I listed a lot of possibilities. You ignored almost all of them.

Are you just trying to start an argument?
