A world waits for Putin's play (w/ Dmitri Alperovitch)

Last week, State Department spokesperson Ned Price, fielded tough questions from AP reporter Matt Lee about the US Government's claims that Russian forces were planning to mount a phony false flag attack in order to provide a pre-text for an invasion of Ukraine. It was a classic moment in which a Biden Administrative Official was forced to answer that most fundamental of questions that should always be asked when the government makes bold assertions about the perfidy of a foreign power. What's the evidence? Price declined to do so leaving the press and much of the public leaving to wonder, does US intelligence really have the goods to back up its claims? Or was this just one more front in a much larger information warfare battle in which the Biden Whitehouse is trying to spook the Kremlin to forgo its plans to seize control of a neighboring country? As the world sits on edge of what Putin may or may not do, we talk to cyber security expert Dmitri Alperovitch about what we should expect over the next several weeks.
