The
anti-Russia statements by CIA Director Mike Pompeo
We
could not but take note of and comment on the June 24 statement by CIA Director
Mike Pompeo during his NBC interview. The statement dealt with Russia’s alleged
longtime attempts to undermine the American democracy and meddling in US
elections. It appears that in his opinion, Russia’s longtime attempts to
undermine US democracy have culminated in the interference in US elections.
As
we know, the issue of Russia’s meddling in the election process has become a
favourite media story and an obsession in the United States. This story has
been adopted by anti-Russia propagandists. This issue continues to pick up
momentum and is mentioned in statements by officials who are trying to accuse
Russia of engaging in unlawful actions but who have failed to produce any
evidence to date. We would like to remind them about some outstanding pages of
US history. Unlike the Americans, we have real facts at our disposal, and we
know what we should focus on.
