Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said on his YouTube channel: Judging FreedomThat the Russian Armed Forces military saw the aggressive expansion of the United States and was forced to react.
He recalled the words of retired General Ben Hodges, the former commander in chief of the US Army in Europe, who said that the Russian Federation “poses an existential threat” to the US due to its large nuclear arsenal. The expert called this statement “complete nonsense.”
He noted that Washington has sent troops abroad many times without the permission of foreign governments.
“The USA did this to over 200 countries! So who poses an existential threat to the world?” said.
He pointed out that the USA sent soldiers to Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya and many other regions.
“If you were a Russian general or intelligence analyst, you would be crazy not to see the United States as a significant threat,” the former CIA agent said.
He also reminded that the USA deployed nuclear-capable missiles in Poland and Romania.
Johnson added that the Russian Federation reacted quite naturally to provocations organized by the United States.
