We wouldn't be in this situation in the first place if our leaders took our opinions on war into consideration. False flag or not, the decision was already made, they were just waiting for an excuse.
Suggested heuristic: don't retaliate against another country's alleged attack unless our leaders can give a clear estimate of the % likelihood that the alleged attack was a false flag. If their estimate is under 5%, they're lying. If their estimate is over 20%, wait and see.
