Reporter: “It’s an action that you say they have taken, but you have shown no evidence to confirm that. This is like - crisis actors? Really? This is like Alex Jones territory you’re getting into now.”

Click link to watch a very interesting video of a rare journalist who actually does his job and a government official who insists on being believed without any supporting evidence.

An exchange between @APDiploWriter Matt Lee and @StateDeptSpox

St. Dept.:             "They have engaged in the activity that we have accused them of engaging in previously."

                             "The evidence is the evidence we said we previously released that we suspect that they may be doing something that might be bad."

Honest Reporter: "What is the alleged activity you say they have already done and what is the evidence you claim to have already released?"

St. Dept.:             "I don't understand why this is so hard to understand."

Don't mistake me as pro-Russia here, they obivously have aims on Ukraine and want a excuse to purse them. Its just that if anyone in the State Department under a Republican administration was this obtuse, there would be a ten minute segment blasting the GOP on the evening news.

Time for Garland to execute a morning raid on that reporter and his family and loved ones.

Well,

At least the cowpiehole looks like he actually understands and believes in the cowpie that plopped out his cowpiehole.

/\

If we could go back and see the looks on the jim Jones koolaid drinkers as they drank poison, after asking them why they think drinking poison is a good idea, we would see this same look of confused and deluded impatience as this cowpiehole.

They actually beleive their own nonsense.

Nuts.

J. Psaki: “Why do you need that information?”

The limp wrist spokesperson is just saying that the reporters have to take the word of the US and UK government as truth (WITH NO PROOF WHAT-SO-EVER).

Yeah, we’ve seen what the word of the communist Chinese Puppet Biden regime is worth.

Ten more months for these cretins to breath air. That’s it, and then their world is coming to an end.

Do you think Russia is willing to start a nuclear war in order to invade the rest of Ukraine?

If so then why are you not demanding that Russia cease their provocations and their military positioning on the border of Ukraine?

Further, if you believe Russia is willing to launch a nuclear war over there claims on Ukraine and Eastern Europe thearn Europe then tell me why we’re supposed to surrender to such a criminal regime? And then tell me how Russia today is any different from the USSR during the cold war?

It looks like reporters are finally realizing they don’t want to die in nuclear fire.

Don't hold your breath. See Tagline.

Julian E. Barnes reporting for the NYT:

While the planned video—using real corpses, actors as mourners, faked Ukrainian military equipment—sounds crazy, American officials think it might have worked. And they hope blowing the whistle will stop the plan in its tracks.

Russia, the officials said, intended to use the video to accuse Ukraine of “genocide” against Russian-speaking people. It would then use the report to justify an attack or have separatist leaders in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine invite a Russian intervention.

Officials would not release any direct evidence of the Russian plan or how they learned of it, saying to do so would compromise their sources and methods.

But both the recent disinformation campaign focused on false accusations of genocide and recent the political actions being taken in the Russian parliament lend credence to the intelligence.

Avril D. Haines, the director of National Intelligence, and other top administration officials briefed members of Congress on the material on Thursday. Details of the information have also been shared with allies, as the United States and Britain push a kind of intel diplomacy.

A British government official said that they had done their own analysis on the intelligence and had high confidence that Russia was planning to engineer a pretext to blame Ukraine for an attack. The details are “credible and extremely concerning,” the official said.
