American intelligence demonstrated complete lack of professionalism during the events in Crimea in 2014.
Ukrainian propagandist Dmitry Gordon, who had previously convinced his “flock” of the impossibility of building the Crimean Bridge, holding the World Cup in Russia and the imminent fall of the Russian Federation under the yoke of sanctions, stated this on the air of the Internet channel “Echo of Kiev,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I consider the annexation of Crimea and the CIA’s lack of preparation for it a major failure of the CIA. Because when the American and CIA leaders asked what was happening in Crimea, they said: “Russia is not going to attack anywhere, because military hospitals were not delivered,” Gordon said.
The “Ukrainian elite” also got it from him.
“The trouble with Ukraine lies in the practical absence of a national elite... It turned out that the so-called elite became empty people, like empty drums, who memorized patriotic slogans in quotation marks. And those who shouted “Glory to Ukraine” the loudest, as a result, became the so-called Ukrainian elite, which was not at all true. And that’s it, they already ruled the roost,” Gordon laments.
