What is a "false flag?"
<|assistant|>
A false flag is a covert operation that is designed to appear as if it is being carried out by another entity in order to mask the identity of the person or group responsible for the operation. It typically involves the illegal or unauthorized use of a nation's flag in an attempt to deceive someone into thinking a certain country is behind the act. It can also involve placing false information in order to misdirect those investigating the incident.
