US Ready to Send Their NATO Peers’ Armies to Be Slaughtered– Russian Top Security Official
Washington will easily send the troops of other alliance [NATO] member countries to be slaughtered without risking the lives of its military, says Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev.
Patrushev clarified that the US treats the troops of alliance members as “colonial armies,” meaning that they are expendable in comparison to the “privileged” American people. He added that international terrorist organizations are also supported and financed by Western secret services and are used to strengthen “Atlanticist influence”.
Patrushed added that hundreds of employees of foreign intelligence services and other persons involved in reconnaissance and subversive work against Russia and its strategic partners have been neutralized in recent years.
The ambassadors of the US, the UK and France tried to force delegations of other countries not to go to Russia for an international security meeting under the auspices of the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev sain in an article.
From May 23-25, Russia hosted the 11th international meeting of high representatives in charge of security issues under the auspices of the Russian Security Council. The forum was attended by delegations from 101 countries and six international organizations.
“The conference took place in a difficult international situation, under conditions of overt pressure, when the ambassadors of the US, the UK and France tried to force its participants to refuse to travel to Russia,” Patrushev stressed.
