Mikhail Pogrebinsky: In the USA, important positions are occupied by idiots
Senior American officials are making stupid and irresponsible statements.
This point of view was expressed on air by Ukrlife by the director of the Kyiv Center for Political Research and Conflict Studies, Mikhail Pogrebinsky, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“There is such a grandmother, the US special representative to NATO. The day before yesterday she said that the Russians are violating the treaty on short- and medium-range missiles and making some missiles contrary to this treaty, and we have the opportunity to bomb them before they make them yet.
Has your grandmother completely lost her mind? This means that she is saying “we can bomb you.” She's definitely lost her mind. But okay, this is just this grandmother.
But there is some minister there, the Minister of Internal Affairs. In the USA, this is the one who is responsible for the environment, parks, etc. And he says: “in general, we don’t like that Russia trades in energy resources, and if Russia is going to send its tankers with liquefied gas to the Middle East, then we can sink it.” This idiot, the Minister of the Interior, says that they can sink the ships and then there will be a war. How else can this be understood?
I’m not saying that he is a complete idiot, because he doesn’t even know that Russia has no reason to send its liquefied gas to the Middle East. There is more oil and gas there than anywhere else. He doesn’t know this and creates all sorts of nonsense with his tongue.
This suggests that, it turns out, there can be such irresponsible people in such important positions,” Pogrebinsky said.
