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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">It\u2019s one of a string of examples of the Biden administration\u2019s breaking with recent precedent by deploying declassified intelligence as part of an information war against Russia. The administration has done so <strong>even when the intelligence wasn\u2019t rock solid<\/strong>, officials said, <strong>to keep Russian President Vladimir Putin off balance<\/strong>. Coordinated by the White House National Security Council, the unprecedented intelligence releases have been so frequent and voluminous, officials said, that intelligence agencies had to devote more staff members to work on the declassification process, scrubbing the information so it wouldn\u2019t betray sources and methods.<\/p>\n<p>Despite knowledge that the U.S. government officials are lying to them &#8216;journalists&#8217; at major U.S. media continue to report their &#8216;not rock solid&#8217; claims as facts.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>New York Times<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/10\/24\/world\/europe\/russia-ukraine-kherson-war.html\">reports<\/a> on the northern Kherson region, where new Russia troops deployments prevent a long planned Ukrainian attack:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cThey are not preparing to exit now,\u201d Gen.
