Three U.S. officials tell NBC News that U.S. claims based on “intelligence” on Russia were made up simply to “preempt the Russians”

One U.S. official: “It doesn’t have to be solid intelligence when we talk about it..”

U.S. propaganda has no basis in truth or reality.

"It doesn't have to be solid intelligence when we talk about," a U.S. official said. "It's more important to get out ahead of them - Putin specifically - before they do something. It's preventative."

NBC News says the U.S. had been accidentally right with its intelligence* claims that Russia was going to launch a military operation.

NBC News: "Multiple U.S. officials acknowledged that the U.S. has used information as a weapon even when confidence in the accuracy of the information wasn’t high. Sometimes it has used low-confidence intelligence for deterrent effect, as with chemical agents,"

"Biden later said it publicly. But three U.S. officials told NBC News this week there is no evidence Russia has brought any chemical weapons near Ukraine. They said the U.S. released the information to deter Russia from using the banned munitions." nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

The stuff about China providing military help to Russia was also made up.

"The U.S. officials said there are no indications China is considering providing weapons to Russia. The Biden administration put that out as a warning to China not to do so," nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

They're lying about chemical weapons just like they lied about Iraq WMDs. At least that's what U.S. officials and U.S. state media is telling us.
