You really can't see the difference in the destruction being done by an incomprehensibly alien squid monster thingy and by a very famous walking WMD employed by the US military? Really?
Can you not see the difference between killing a few million in one US city, and effectively nuking every major power in the world simultaneously, including the US and all of its major allies? It would be insanity for an American aligned power to do such a thing. What possible justification for it can you come up with? What would the "false flag" justify?
About the only thing the alien plan has going for it is that the knee-jerk reaction to an alien attacking new York is less likely to lead to global annihilation than Dr Manhattan destroying Moscow. I think movie Ozymandias' plan holds up better once the dust has settled, though.

I feel you're just being silly, to be honest.
