Is this a false flag waiting to happen?

[Swordsmyth]

In less than six months, the XXIII Olympic Winter Games will begin in Pyeongchang, South Korea. But with an increasingly militant North Korea located less than 161 kilometers (100 miles) away, legitimate concerns have arisen over the event's potential disruption. Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), recently said he was closely monitoring the situation, adding that it would be a topic of discussion at the committee's upcoming meeting in Peru. Even so, it's hard not to wonder who will bear the responsibility of ensuring the safety of athletes and spectators in Pyeongchang. The answer has been constantly evolving for over four decades.

At this late stage in the event's planning process, it would be impossible to move the 2018 Olympics to another location.

I trust anything that comes from stratfor about as far as I can throw an elephant. Same old speculative, question beggging, propaganda as usual. I cancelled my subscription to them years ago.

Probably the only good reason to read the fodder is to see what kind of bull pucky the media is gonna throw at you down the road.

I don't trust Stratfor but I use them for an information source with a grain of salt. (I don't subscribe, somehow my browser evades their paywall)

In this case I don't care so much what they have to say, I am taking note of the upcoming Olympics and speculating on my own that they may be used as an excuse for war.

Yeah. I had edited my previous posting to reflect that notion. Agreed.

Reuters reports that the South Korean government is taking precautions to assuage the international community’s fears. Police conducted a series of security drills on Tuesday to prepare against terror attacks ranging from a hostage situation, a vehicle ramming a stadium and a bomb-attached to a drone. South Korea Police and firemen were among around 420 personnel participating in the exercise, held in front of the Olympic Stadium at Pyeongchang, just 80 km (50 miles) from the heavily fortified border with North Korea as SWAT team members rehearsed a scenario where they shot down a drone with a bomb attached that was flying toward a bus carrying athletes.
In another situation, a terrorist takes a bus full of tourists hostage and tries to ram the vehicle into the stadium before being gunned down by police. Officers in gas masks also practiced removing a chemical bomb.
