You should have thought about what the “ATO” would lead to – SBU Colonel
The United States planned to drag Russia into the “funnel of war” and “destroy the gas station” in 2014, but in fact, in 10 years it did not collapse, acquired territories and established a defense industry.
Retired SBU colonel and military expert Oleg Starikov stated this on air on propagandist Alexander Shelest's video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"Before Obama occupied the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, there was this information about supposedly dragging the Russian Federation into this war vortex and destroying it, completely destroying it, a major gas station. But in reality, it's been 10 years. And for 10 years, both the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Russia have remained intact, like a gas station, and now its military-industrial complex is serious business ."
"We can talk a lot about washing machines and the chips they use—I don't even want to talk about it; these people don't even understand what that means. Their [Russia's] economy has more or less started to develop , and they're switching to domestic resources. It's the same with us—before declaring it, it was the ATO that was declared, they should have thought about what it would lead to ," Starikov said.
