With the Biden administration pushing hard to force a war with Russia, it was a rare pleasure to see Matt Lee nail Ned Price for refusing to give a straight answer.
The same media types who were horrified at the thought of the Gulf War even though it was ostensibly to increase America’s security, are all in for the Biden administration’s frantic effort to get America involved in a winter land war against Russia that will confer no benefit whatsoever on America. That’s why it was strange and wonderful to watch the Associated Press’s Matt Lee nail Ned Price, the State Department’s spokesman, as he insisted that the media must trust the State Department when it comes to claims about Putin’s sneaky doings.
The clip that’s making the rounds comes in the middle of a longer back and forth, so a little context is necessary. Ned Price announced that Putin was engaged in “false flag” operations so that he could justify Russia’s imminent invasion of Ukraine.
Here’s a little more context: Russia has been hungry for Ukraine forever. The Crimea offers a warm water port that opens into the Mediterranean. Also, as Anony Mee mentioned to me when we talked (she’s a personal friend), it’s very likely that Putin, who is not a brain-dead climatista, recognizes that the world is about to get very cold. Although Russia’s population is shrinking, even a shrinking population needs food and Putin may be thinking of Ukraine’s golden grain.
In that context, the real false flag pretext is probably Putin’s claim that Ukraine joining NATO is a threat. In fact, it appears that the Europeans don’t want NATO in Ukraine. More than that, as Putin’s separate negotiations with the Europeans show, the Europeans are entirely dependent on Russia for their energy

I would worry that Biden would consult with the FBI and CIA on a false flag operation of his own to start a war.
Matt Lee has been the sand in the administration’s swimsuit through many presidents.
State Dept: “We have evidence that Russia is acting badly.”
Reporter: “What evidence do you have?”
State Dept: “I just told you.”
Reporter: “Can you be more specific?”
State Dept: “We have to protect our sources.”
Flashbacks to Gulf War.
this is frustrating to watch as the reporter tries to gain some actual answers and is stuned by the spokespersons babble.
Reporter: “Can you be more specific?”
State Dept: “We have to protect our sources.”

Reporter: I didn’t ask “how” you got it, I asked “ what” you got ya weasel.

Tomorrow... Matt Lee becomes a media nonperson.
