Report thisprovocation employed as an

technique for the military industrial
complex. Someone might have

war or the threat of war. It is
important to remember that the
goal of US foreign policy is not
conflict resolution or myths about
democracy and freedom but simply
the preservation of the military and
economic interests that facilitate
the advancement of empire.

Anyone who thinks this whole Korean conflict wasn’t US made is an idiot. This is a classic case of false-flag State sponsored terrorism. The only major kind in the world.
