US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s remarks that Russia will allegedly attack NATO show that the Pentagon chief does not have his own opinion. This was stated by retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former advisor to the Secretary of State, in an interview with the YouTube channel. Dialogue Studies.
“He’s a servant. <…> He’s just repeating what the president said. I can’t believe Austin could have a proper discussion with Biden about the Ukraine situation. He’s trustworthy, and that’s a very dangerous trait in this situation,” Wilkerson said.
He also drew attention to the inconsistency of statements regarding Putin’s plans to attack the alliance countries. According to him, the Russian president, unlike Washington, understands very well that a direct conflict between Moscow and the West poses a danger to the whole world.
It is stated that Austin spoke at a conference on aid to Ukraine in Ramstein on March 19. He said Russian President Vladimir Putin will allegedly try to attack NATO countries after the victory in Ukraine.
Before that Austin statedThe USA will not let Ukraine fall.
Previously at the Pentagon stated About the threat to the existence of Ukraine.
