I don’t buy it. I know it’s fashionable to be cynical about the media at the moment, but Bloomberg is not a rag and it’s owned by someone who is no fan of Trump or trade wars. It doesn’t add up.

Bloomberg wouldn’t need to be deliberately deceitful - just misinformed by the government sources they’ve indicated they have.

It would be something Russia would do, plant a fake story to massively discredit Bloomberg. It would go with their strategy of launching so many fake stories that nobody knows anymore what to belive. The problem with this theory is that Bloomberg says all the sources were from the American govt.

  That's not really a problem with the theory. If anything, it's a supporting argument.

  Russia gave me cold and made me miss 2 days of work :<. It's definitely something they'd do.

It also doesn't make sense to reject it out of hand—it's not like Bloomberg (or any paper) is an infallible source of fact.

The US Government and IC have lied into a war before, I don't see why now would be any different. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/12/leadup-iraq-war-timeline/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/12/leadup-iraq-war...
