It’s also the country where we assassinated a general in 2020 without a declaration of war.

Is it actually that hard for you to believe that this could be a false flag stage by the United States?

Believe and reality correlate sometimes, sometimes they don't. The difference is proof.

>Is it actually that hard for you to believe they're doing this?

No it's not, and that's the problem...do you see the problem?

Even the CIA has the unofficial motto "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."

-> shall know the truth NOT shall believe in your assumption

"x did bad things, therefore, x is responsible for this other bad thing" is a fallacy.
