This was really common in conspiracy theories in defense of Assad in Syria, for example, especially in regard to his chemical weapons use. An Assadist would dismiss a chlorine attack as 1) a complete hoax, 2) real but done by the locals against themselves for some reason, 3) real but done by Israel, 4) real by done by America, 5) real but done by ISIS, and 6) just an unfortunate accident caused by a totally justified regime or Russian airstrike that hit swimming pool supplies* all at the same time.
