as precursors for war, how is it so unfathomable that this could not happen in modern times.
Example: Gulf of Tonkin

Downed arrows for a legitimate question based on documented facts is a symptom of double-thinking where, as a defense mechanism, the mind denounces what it knows to be true.

Dont forget USS Maine and Operation Northwoods.

The politics in America is so complicated because of the foreign policy and lobby groups that false flags are a necessary tool they use to push their agenda and to drum up favorable public opinion at home and abroad,although it is very unfortunate.

I have no doubt that we use false flags. Everyone does. Exactly what is your point? Are you saying that there were false flag operations to get us into our current war? There have been plenty of attacks by Terrorists. There would be no need for anything false.
I don't know of any false flag ops that were intended to start wars. They are usually to gather intel in places where the US isn't welcome (Cuba & N Korea come to mind)

It does happen in modern times, but you should remember that there really are some bad people trying to attack the United States.
So not all alleged attacked are faked.
