US intelligence commented on the concentration of Russian troops near the Ukrainian borders

Russia is allegedly trying to force Ukraine to act in Moscow's interests. At the same time, it will not be possible to resolve the conflict in Donbass in the near future.

According to the Voice of America radio company, this is how Lieutenant General Scott Berrier (US military intelligence) commented on the concentration of Russian troops near the Ukrainian borders in an affidavit to the Senate Armed Forces Committee.

The head of the US Defense Intelligence Directorate, Berrier, believes that even if Russia de-escalates, troops subordinate to the Kremlin will remain an effective lever of influence on the Kiev authorities. It seems that the American general calls the People's Militia of the DPR and LPR that way.

On the Crimean peninsula, in addition to recent deployments, Moscow continues to strengthen its long-term military presence to deter Western naval and air operations, be capable of projecting military force into the region, and declare its determination to hold the peninsula.

- wrote Berrier in a comment.

In addition, in his report, the head of the Pentagon's Intelligence Agency called the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation an "existential threat" to America. From his words, one can understand that he considers the very fact of the existence of the Russian Army to be a threat to the United States.

On April 22, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced the completion of a surprise check of troops in the Western and Southern Military Districts, since all the assigned tasks had been completed. Against this background, US Secretary of State Tony Blinken said that Russia "has not withdrawn all of its troops." It would be interesting to watch Blinken's reaction if Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov began counting American troops on American territory.

Maybe you (the Americans) are better off with your own forces, which you crammed into Eastern Europe, and not count how much and what Russia has on its own territory? But for you, common truths are not science. Biden yesterday told congressmen that the United States does whatever it considers necessary for itself, and absolutely everything can do it, because great country. Well ... so who escalates the situation and behaves aggressively?

[For example]

For me it is high time to abolish Ukraine as a country.
Return the loot to Russia.

[NIKN]

even if Russia de-escalates, the troops subordinate to the Kremlin will remain an effective lever of influence on the Kiev authorities.

He himself admits that de-escalation does not depend on Russia, whether there are troops there or not, the Americans will still support it there. So "... an effective lever of influence on the Kiev authorities ..." There were states, only the lever works in one direction all the time.

If one day the ragozins cope and all of Russia is loaded onto a spaceship and flies off to look for another planet - the whole "Civilized world" will hinder this - they are nowhere without Russia ..., they will have nothing to talk about, they are not able to solve problems.
In general, such a statement by the head of the intelligence service is pure hypocrisy: he is a bastard, for sure, he knew about the plans of the RF Ministry of Defense for this year, as well as last year, and so it will be in the future. He performs poorly, he lies like ...

They will start, like spiders in a bank, to eat each other .. Russia has always had a special mission in its history .. We are like these, keepers of stability, but this is already tired of everything and there are few of us left .. God is cruel with Russia, would give a respite at least 30 years more .. We are not ready to break the ridge with an "exceptional" And they demand again that the Russians come out to fight, but we all do not go .. God does not want to, but you will have to see someone slurp to clean up EVERYTHING calmed down for a while ..
This is how we live our bread, from war to war ..

Lavrov probably dreams of such a job.

Not in the subject. News channels report on the tragedy in Israel. According to preliminary data 44 dead, 150 injured as a result of the collapsed tribune. In the frames, thousands of Hasidim are jumping to the beat at the same time, expressing something. No matter how anyone treats Israel, in this case it is simply necessary to express condolences.

Also condolences ..But nevertheless, for such dances of Jews, you need to make more serious frames .. there is a terrible vibration, especially when the rhythm is caught .. Why did the engineer miscalculate? Or someone sawed down the pile gain point ..? Well, such dances are very dangerous mass ..

For extreme they do not care at all, but for themselves loved ones, they will go to any measures, restrictions, for them, does not exist, as they used to.

Everyone is trying to philosophize and every time they repeat the same thing ...
Good time!

Welcome
Repetition, over and over again, can catch anyone.
Not interested ...

[cniza]

And they have no other worries ...

[rocket757]

They have already come up with so many things, they themselves get confused, what is it worth to heat up, and what you can already score on.

[cniza]

That's right - they came up with it themselves, and then they believed it and got scared ...

[rocket757]

Those who are in the know, it’s okay for them, everything is equally divided, but the man in the street will do it anyway.

[cniza]

So for the layman, everything is done, he has already been intimidated, he is ready to pay further ...

Deceive the one who is glad to be deceived !!!
Look about the green energy as a lie !!! To have a little knowledge in physics, chemistry and mathematics, it is not possible to bite into such bullshit !!! However, together and in formation they are going to a "free, clean" life !!! I'm a fool from that zoo!

Now its time has not come, the technology is very expensive and not very effective. Sometime later.

In order to keep, we must capture, but we did not capture Crimea, he himself returned ...

They snatched away from a neighbor while he had problems.

Yeah, vile hobbits)

[Ascold1901]

"... to restrain the sea and air operations of the West ..." - he said interestingly.))) So the entot West, for some reason and for some reason, Can carry out the operations it needs on an Alien and very distant territory, and Russia on its territory Not?))))

[Mouse]

Until now, they shed a tear across the Crimea ... it remains only to be angry, such a piece is gone from under the nose ...

[Russ]

These are not tears ... these are drooling ...

[cniza]

There are all together and tears and drool ...

[Russ]

And diarrhea in the compartment ... sorry ...

[cniza]

Some of them have for sure, after the report to the authorities, that Crimea was taken away from under their noses.

[jonht]

So it is necessary to count how many of its troops the FSA keeps ON ITS TERRITORY, otherwise they may not be there

You can estimate how many troops they have not at home, but in other countries. And ask: "What have you forgotten there?"

[jonht]

It is necessary to calculate this and that and ask for this and that. And meticulously so.

On the Crimean peninsula, in addition to recent deployments of forces, Moscow continues to increase its long-term military presence, etc.

The wording made me laugh! Being at home is long-term presence for General Lei of the US Army. Can end up with a long-term US presence in Alaska?

Unambiguously and always tried to seize Russia, shatter and plunder on the sly .. But for now we hold on, in spite of everyone! The worst enemy for Russia is ourselves ..
They want to blow us up again from the inside .. They liked them very much in the 90s, but they didn't finish us off and started celebrating early ..

The deployment of Russian troops in Crimea (on Russian territory) is understood as an "existential threat" for America. How should Russia understand the deployment of American troops on military bases and facilities in the world, of which there are more than a thousand?
Probably should understand the US peacekeeping aspirations?

[Siegfried]

An “existential threat” for America is the CIA, which, ordered by large capital, or rather some economic clusters like the military-industrial complex and energy, are trying to exacerbate relations with the Russian Federation to the limit in order to make money on the Cold War and knock Russian concerns out of the markets with the help of sanctions. But they should think about the fact that the benefits from such actions now can turn into large losses in the future. Everyone knows that the American model of development, based on a build-up of debt, is short-lived. The denouement is not far off. When the dollar collapses as part of the zeroing of the US debt, they will be left with the real economy that they actually have in the country, and this is not at all what the numbers on Wall Street express. And when all this confusion begins, it is not at all in the interests of the United States to have Russia as an enemy, which by all means will strengthen the destructive movements.

[xorek]

And yet it worked, the junta quieted down, the United States too .. But the State Department whipped Bandera to the conflict in Donbass and then with Russia .. They checked us and our reaction. Putin said well that if Kiev goes to a military conflict in Donbass, then the Outskirts will no longer will be like non-state .. Zeleny's eyes were frightened

[NF68]

Russian troops are on their territory. And not at the borders of Russia where NATO has recently started a fuss.
