U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Sunday that the U.S. intelligence community does not believe Russia has the capability to conquer Europe, or even to conquer and occupy Ukraine.
Gabbard made the remarks in a post on X, responding to reports alleging U.S. intelligence aligns with EU and NATO views that Russia aims to invade or conquer Europe.
In her post, Gabbard accused what she called "deep state warmongers and their propaganda media" of trying to undermine U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to bring peace to Ukraine and Europe by promoting what she described as false narratives.
"Deep State warmongers and their Propaganda Media are again trying to undermine President Trump’s efforts to bring peace to Ukraine - and indeed Europe - by falsely claiming that the ‘US intelligence community’ agrees to and supports EU/NATO viewpoint that Russia’s aim is to invade/conquer Europe (in order to gin up support for their pro-war policies)," she wrote.
Gabbard argued the claims are intended to build public backing for tougher policies and to escalate the conflict. "The truth is that US intelligence assesses that Russia does not even have the capability to conquer and occupy Ukraine, what to speak of ‘invading and occupying’ Europe," she added.
