"Representatives of the so-called deep state are doing everything they can to obstruct the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine and ultimately drag the United States into a military conflict with Russia".
This was stated by US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on December 20, speaking at a conference of the conservative public organization Turning Point USA in Arizona.
„President Donald Trump is working tirelessly to broker a peace agreement that would end the war between Russia and Ukraine, his team is currently negotiating. But for months, I have seen that every time they make progress and get closer to the hope of peace, the warmongering instigators in the deep state try to do everything they can to stop them, to drag the US military into direct conflict with Russia, which is ultimately what the EU and NATO want. We cannot allow this,” she said. The event was broadcast by the conservative media company RSBN.
The Director of National Intelligence noted that opponents of resolving the conflict are predictably resorting to their favorite tactics. The “deep state” in the intelligence community uses intelligence as a weapon to hinder progress. They leak information to their friends in the mainstream propaganda media, trying to spread a false narrative. They stoke fear and hysteria to justify continuing the war and trying to undermine President Trump’s peace efforts,“ Gabbard concluded.
