‘Putin Will Use Whatever Spin He Can to His Own Nationalistic Advantage’: John Teichert on Moscow’s Attack

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Scott: “the United States apparently warned Putin and the Russians that some kind of trouble was afoot. Not only did he blow it off, he suggested even the warning was an attempt at subterfuge directed toward his government.”
TEICHERT: “He did. We have a long-standing policy across administrations in the United States of duty to warn. When we have a specific credible piece of intelligence that indicates terrorist activity against the civilian population, we did so actually to the benefit of Iran two months ago. This is just part of U.S. policy. And again Putin will use whatever spin he can to his own nationalistic advantage.”
