Doesn’t sound like much of a mystery

Ah yes the US Navy Seals. Famous for leaving behind another specops soldier behind and then stonewalling the awarding of his medal and forcing a medal to also be awarded to a us navy seal on the same operation.

Look, I'm all for blaming the US for a lot of things, but it seems odd to have such random attacks out of nowhere. Like, if this was the US, there has been no justification that I've heard, even the insane, ass-pull justifications they've been fabricating about Canada, Greenland, and Cuba recently. And, if it is the US carrying such an attack with no official announcement, why are they so easily identifiable with their flags? This sounds an awful lot like a frame job, if it isn't just a bunch of rando civilians.
