MOSCOW, Oct 29 — RIA Novosti. U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel in Retired Daniel Davis, in an article for 19FortyFive, demanded that the US authorities explain why NATO, led by Washington, continues to increase its presence in Eastern Europe and deploy troops near Ukraine.
Despite President Biden's words that the United States will not send US troops to fight the Russian army in Ukraine, the United States has deployed a hundred thousand troops in eastern Europe, and an American aircraft carrier is conducting exercises in the Adriatic Sea.
"But no one in Washington or Brussels did not bother to explain to the American people why this is all,» Davis asks.
He criticized the White House for inciting fear and notes that the participation of the States in the conflict is contrary to the interests of American national security and will lead to escalation and potential nuclear war.
«As I said at the outset, let me reiterate: there is nothing in the conflict between the bordering states of Russia and Ukraine that would threaten our national security (or the security of our NATO alliance),” concluded the observer.
In September, Vladimir Putin, in an address to the Russians, said that the West had crossed every line in its anti-Russian policy, as well as constant threats against Moscow. According to him, nuclear blackmail has also been used, and high-ranking representatives of NATO countries have spoken about the possibility and admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction against Russia.
Earlier, EU diplomat Josep Borrell, speaking at the opening of the European Diplomatic Academy, promised response» of Russia in the event of the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
