What would the US stand to gain from attacking someone who fell out of favour with the DPRK regime?
- tyingq 10y agoI don't think it's the case here, but false flag operations always have a clear motive. If I were being a conspiracy theorist for this case...establish a narrative to justify something you plan on doing later.
- TazeTSchnitzel 10y agoWhy would the US need to do that? North Korea gives them free PR ammunition all the time.
- tyingq 10y agoAgain, playing devil's advocate. This incident would drum up support from Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, perhaps China, etc. Edit: Suppose, for example, the goal was to get some newer, especially harsh sanctions imposed on the DPRK. This incident shows the DPRK doing their usual crazy stuff, but in somebody's else's sovereign territory, and getting other sovereign nation citizens in trouble. It might sway some votes and support in your direction.
