U.S. intelligence, Pentagon - are fucking joke. Try to find Russian military or intelligence commenting political issues. You'll fine ZERO comments. That's not their fucking job. You'll have zero comments from international intelligence whatsoever. FUCKING ZERO COMMENTS. That's not their fucking job. For official position - refer to Maria Zakharova. period.

U.S. intelligence or Pentagon acting as a political actor is so stupid I can't stand it. For me, having a CIA official making some political comments means only this - the service is fucking dead.
