  > Under what circumstances is false flagging your own citizens warranted? None, in my opinion. That said, I have not considered the question deeply enough to conclude that it is never appropriate. In any case, that isn't what the document [1] is about. Paragraph 5 mentions the "possibility" of various things. Our government should know how others within itself, perhaps with nefarious purposes, might conduct a "deception operation" against it. More specifically, ¶ 5 mentions operations in which "Soviet aircraft would appear to attack U.S. or friendly installations". Providing the appearance of something is not necessarily doing it. I also do not think false flag operations conducted against foreign countries are as ethically off the table as those against one's self. TL; DR There are legitimate reasons for studying how false flag operations may be done.
