The US Secretary of State decided to count Russian money.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo criticized the authorities of Russia and Venezuela for the transfer of Russian strategic bomber-missile carriers to Caracas. According to Pompeo, sending bombers across half the world does not make any sense, and is only "Squandering of public funds".

“The Russian government sent bombers halfway around the world to Venezuela. Citizens of Russia and Venezuela should consider it this way: two corrupt governments squander public funds and suppress freedom while their citizens suffer. ”- said Mike Pompeo.

In response to the criticism of the US Secretary of State, Russia declared that Washington could easily have achieved world peace for the money spent, but instead only provokes wars.

“It’s not up to him to decide what to spend our government’s money on, and not for him to evaluate. Let it be better to remember what American taxpayers' money is spent on: I mean the situation in Syria for all the “color revolutions” in North Africa, the Middle East, to support various groups, including the terrorist order.- Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Federation Council Vladimir Jabarov said.

The response of the First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense, Alexander Sherin, was no less critical.

“Pompeo voiced his fears. How much do they deploy missile defense and armed forces in Poland and the Baltic States ... The thief and the cap are on fire. Pay attention to it is not worth it. It's just a laugh in the voice, some kind of kindergarten. The country that has besieged the whole of Russia around military bases is not clear what it needs in Europe. ”

By the way, it should be clarified that the appearance of Russian strategic bombers in Venezuela caused a violent reaction in the American media, where they believe that against the background of Washington's withdrawal from the INF Treaty, Russia can place its tactical and strategic weapons near the American borders.
