U.S. says Russia is planning a staged attack in Ukraine to justify an invasion

State Department spokesperson Ned Price said that the intelligence had been newly declassified and presented to the press corps in the hopes that its publication would deter Russia from following through on the planned false-flag operation.

"The United States has information that Russia is planning to stage fabricated attacks by Ukrainian military or intelligence forces as a pretext for a further invasion of Ukraine," Price said in a Thursday briefing to reporters.

"One possible option that the Russians are considering and which we made public today involves the production of a propaganda video — a video with graphic scenes of false explosions, depicting corpses, crisis actors pretending to be mourners and images of destroyed locations or military equipment, entirely fabricated by Russian intelligence."

Russia will fabricate a false pretext to launch hostilities.

Don't forget that the Russian state television broadcasts fake news about the aggressiveness of NATO and the false bellicose intentions of Ukraine.

Putin is a psychopath who could trigger WW3.

 

Yes, putting the blame on whomever you intend to attack for the attack is a popular way to save face. No WW3, though. Putin just wants Ukraine for now, not the whole planet like the Chinese.

******n that sounds like CNN’s coverage of January 6

 

Does he think the rest of the world will actually see Ukraine as the aggressor in this? Crazy!

 

Of course they will TRY that. That's what they do.
I suspect however that The Botox Boy's window is closing so.....

 

No, this is for internal politics.

 

Of course I don't know the inside workings of his mind or the details of his plan, but it struck me as a demonstration for the world - not just his own country. Afterall, in his own country, dissenters meet harsh consequences. What would be the benefit of staging it all for the Russian public?

 

Russia is the victim of Ukraine, NATO and the evil US. A common enemy to rally against, while defending the Russian people and hence, is the savior. Sounds familiar?
EDIT: There is another factor, instability does drive the cost of fossil fuel up and Russian oil is expensive to extract and refine.

 

i can't help but think of those poor syrians who were supposedly gassed by assad. i always thought those were crisis actors. or the kuwaiti babies thrown from their incubators by the evil hussien.

 

a case can be made that in donbass and donetz , with majority ethnic russians.....

 

But would the people of Russia who have suffered under his control buy it?

 

Does 30% of America buy Trump? **** yeah!!!

 

So has Russia actually staged a fabricated attack in Ukraine yet? Or has the US just fabricated a staged fabricated attack in Ukraine about Russia actually fabricating a staged fabricated attack in Ukraine....

US intelligence, an oxymoron, is declassifying this information... but they don't release the video...

Matt Lee and State Department spokesman Ned Price...

Where is this "evidence" ...... Per State Department spokesman Ned Price.....They are doing it because I say they are doing it... he ain't gonna release any evidence, he is just telling us and that is his idea of "declassification"...

 

That press conference is extremely damning. I couldn't believe the double talk from Price. If they actually have declassified intelligence that this is true, they should release it, but just saying my words are the evidence makes him sound like a Ministry of Truth spokesman.

Yet another State Department embarrassment.

 

Bribery exposes on to Blackmail.
Ukrainian Oligarchs Have Bribed the Bidens extensively.

Russia threatens power grids if Biden moves in Ukraine.

“The nation’s leading expert on protecting the electric grid from attack urges governors to take the lead because the Biden administration won’t. In a new alert, Peter Vincent Pry, the executive director of the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, said concerns are growing that Russia, North Korea, and Iran are inching closer to testing an electromagnetic attack on the U.S. grid, or parts of it.”

What is America's National Security Interest in Ukraine?

What are Biden's goals in Ukraine? Do they even make sense?

 

Internal US politics which is why neddie boy never produced the support documentation and refused to when asked.

 

Ned is gonna get right on that supposed 'evidence' right after they find the WMD's in Iraq, the Russian Coolushan Dossier turns real, the gas attacks in Syria become real/un-staged and Kabul didn't fall like they said it wouldn't.

There's no need to make a fake video, there are plenty of dead civilians in the Donbass with which they could cobble together a video. This is what happens after 8 years of the Ukrainian government acting like the terrorists in the Gaza Strip...indiscriminately shooting mortars in residential areas.

 

Does 10% kickback buy the Big Guy crime boss Joe Biden ? **** yeah!!!

 

Who are you referring to? Or too much of something?

 

Nancy takes 40% so Crooked Donnie still doesn't win. What a ****ing looser Crooked Donnie is.

 

The lying piece of crap that gave the presentation to an all to uncurious press corps. Interestingly at least one of them manage wake from his slumber along enough to ask to see the evidence supporting this statement which seem to take ole neddie off guard.

 

Oh, OK so some sort of characterization of something you can't fathom? False flags?

 

Damn lefties pull your heads out of you ass. The problem here isn't putin. All Putin wants is that NATO cease it's Eastern expansion.
It is analogous to the US demand back in the sixties that The USSR not put nuclear Missiles on Cuba.

 

Strange...... there is no disputing Biden collusion with Russia, China, Ukraine.... and not a peep. 10% kickback from crime boss Joe Biden... not a peep...

 

What Biden collusion? Is this like the Bengazi thingie?
