White House Spreads Fear of Vladimir Putin Invading Ukraine in Days as Biden Leaves for Camp David

Charlie Spiering 11 Feb 2022

The White House warned again Friday that Russia was almost certain to invade Ukraine soon, despite sharing no detailed new intelligence showing that Russian President Vladimir Putin had made a final decision.

“There is a credible prospect that a Russia military action would take place even before the Olympics,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said at the daily briefing.

The Winter Olympic Games are currently underway in Beijing and end on February 20.

Sullivan shared his more alarming assessment of the situation in Ukraine with the press as President Joe Biden prepared to leave for the weekend to the Camp David presidential retreat.

He said he could not pinpoint the day or the hour of a potential invasion and admitted he did not know of the scope of the invasion, either.

“It could be more limited, it could be more expansive, but there are very real possibilities that it will involve the seizure of a significant amount of territory in Ukraine and the seizure of major cities, including the capital city,” he said.

Sullivan urged Americans to leave Ukraine within 24-48 hours.

White House Journalists Fail to Ask Jake Sullivan About His Past Russia Lies

Joel B. Pollak 11 Feb 2022

Reporters assigned to the White House failed to ask National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan about his past record of lies about Russia, as he urged journalists to believe U.S. intelligence reports that suggested Russia would soon invade Ukraine.

Sullivan appeared at the White House press briefing on Friday to warn that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could happen as soon as next week, and to urge Americans to leave Ukraine, warning that U.S. troops would not be risked to rescue them.

Reporters asked why they should believe U.S. intelligence assessments, given a past history of consequential errors, such as those before the Iraq War. Sullivan encouraged journalists to ask questions, while arguing the two situations were different.

But journalists did not ask Sullivan about his specific lack of personal credibility regarding Russia, after he briefed reporters in 2016 falsely about “collusion” between Russia and President-elect Donald Trump, and made similar claims to Congress:

Breitbart News has reported on previous occasions when the press has failed to ask Sullivan about his record on Russia:

    As Breitbart News reported last year, Sullivan was implicated in Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, and admitted to Congress under oath in 2017 that he had briefed reporters about his suspicions of “collusion” between Russia and the Trump campaign.

    Sullivan also testified, under questioning from Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), that he believed former NSA Michael Flynn had conspired with the Russian government — claims that earlier led to Flynn’s ouster. Ironically, Sullivan now holds Flynn’s job.

    Shortly before Election Day in 2016, Sullivan issued a press statement claiming that Trump had a “secret hotline” to Russia via Alfa Bank. Subsequent investigations by U.S. authorities determined that the Alfa Bank conspiracy theory was false.

Sullivan repeated assertions that Russia might try to justify an invasion with a “false flag” operation to create a pretext.

Man, it's good to have the old Cold War back.  Once KGB, always KGB.
