When politicians or military officials actually prepare some plans, they do not publicly disclose them, noted State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova. So, in a conversation with Lenta.ru, the politician commented on the statement of the American general, Commander-in-Chief of NATO forces in Europe, Alexus Grinkevich.
“It is very interesting when plans for a strategic attack are told publicly. Still, if people are going to do something, they probably don’t say these plans publicly. This is where the understanding is born that this is being done on purpose,” Zhurova responded.
The deputy explained that the West makes such statements for one purpose - to explain why the costs of the alliance have increased. “They need to somehow explain this, they need to somehow intimidate, they need to come up with some kind of enemy,” she concluded.
Earlier, Grinkevich, at an anti-Russian forum in Warsaw, presented a plan to repel a potential Russian attack. He called it the "victory theory."
