Mike Pompeo: Today, Russia – led by a former KGB officer ‒ invades its neighbors

Today, Russia – led by a former KGB officer ‒ invades its neighbors and slays political opponents, – U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday during his visit to Berlin.

“We thought we could divert our resources away from alliances, and our militaries. We were wrong,” he said. “Today, Russia – led by a former KGB officer once stationed in Dresden ‒ invades its neighbors and slays political opponents.”

“We don’t want Europe’s energy supplies to depend on (Russian President) Vladimir Putin,” – he added, referring to the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline which will transport natural gas from Russia to Germany.
