US officials said Thursday they are aware of a Kremlin scheme to broadcast a faked video of Ukrainian forces carrying out an attack against Russia or Russian proxies, which would serve as a pretext for an invasion by Moscow.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby told reporters that the video would be “very graphic propaganda” and include images of “corpses, and actors that would be depicting mourners, and images of destroyed locations, as well as military equipment, at the hands of Ukraine or the West.”
The video, Kirby added, would even suggest that some of the equipment involved in the “attack” would be made to appear like “Western-supplied Ukrainian — to Ukraine — equipment.”
As part of an ongoing campaign to sow disinformation and destabilize the Kiev government, Russia intended to use the bogus video to accuse Kiev of genocide against Russian speakers, thereby justifying military action against its western neighbor.
“We’ve seen these kinds of activity by the Russians in the past,” Kirby added, “and we believe it’s important, when we see it like this — and we can — to call it out,” he said.

Sadly, its true. Biden and his deep state masters have reduced American credibility to ZERO.
Ukraine's Zelensky has told Biden to STFU with the "imminent invasion" talk. Its destroying Ukraine's economy.
Hungary's Orban just visited Moscow, where he declared he wants no part of sanctions or NATO warmongering
The Bulgarian Government said last week it won't participate in any exercises or have increased NATO troop presence over Ukraine
Germany's foreign minister visited Moscow 2 weeks ago, and said the same thing and that they would provide no military aid to Ukraine
France's Macron and new German PM Scholz both will be traveling to Moscow to negotiate on their own with Putin, independent of the USA
America's allies are telling Biden and Blinken to get stuffed, but you will never hear it in the US MSM
Maybe the Russians can use stock footage shot at a firing range for the b-roll.
Any event that occurs AFTER Russia has loaded the border with Russian troops, should be presumed a false flag.
Really? But our record of blaming violence on fake videos is well-established by Benghazi. Is that poor guy still in jail?
Let’s face it - the Russians are not new to this.
Of course, they would have a whole campaign plan for managing and manipulating International opinion. Key to that, would be a defensible casus belli. Defending the ethnic Russian, and/or Russian speaking communities in other Countries, has been their recurring theme.
They have been wargaming and planning these since well before seizing Crimea in 2014 - which was considered a masterfully conducted and innovative effort on the diplomatic/political/propaganda fronts.
You’d have to be a certified licensed moron to believe a word from this White House of misfits.
“US says Russia planned fake video as ‘false flag’ to invade Ukraine” Translation: “The US is planning to stage a ‘false flag’ in order to start a war.
I seem to recall Democrats lying about a very little seen 15 minute internet video as being the impetus for the attacks in Ben Ghazzi that killed their own US Ambassador.....
The Kremlin is more believable than the Biden regime and Deep State.
No doubt...
The US communist government is an expert at designing & implementing false flag events...
Russia has done it multiple times themselves.
In 1939 they famously shelled their own village Mainila, blamed it on the Finns and then invaded.

The same year they sunk their own ship near Estonia and used it as a pretext for an eventual invasion.
US officials know all about blaming videos to cover their own illegal activities that result in U.S. deaths.
Not that they have staged any themselves.
“America’s allies are telling Biden and Blinken to get stuffed, but you will never hear it in the US MSM.”
Great post.(as usual)
If you want to check out some nutjobs. Go over to Daily Kos and read the commentary from the headline:
“I think Putin’s days are numbered right now. I really think so.”
The war bravado from the “Karen BLM LBGQ Party” is hilarious.Its hard to believe these people opposed the wars in Afghanistan & Iraq.
LOL! What a joke!
Where do you live in Russia?
For my entire life if the Russians said the sky is blue, you better look outside and verify. For at least the past decade the same has been true of our own government.
Got that right. And they are determined to get us all radioactive sooner rather then latter.
Likely true, can't believe anybody at this stage.
Well said.
