According to a report by the "Russia Today" news agency on September 22, Russian Defense Minister Shoigu recently criticized the United States for wantonly interfering in other countries' internal affairs through the use of force and other means in an interview with Russian media.

In an interview, Shoigu said sarcastically, "Which country that the United States once claimed to bring so-called 'democracy' ended up in a good end? Iraq? Afghanistan? Or Syria? In fact, after the United States intervened, these countries almost 'lost' their sovereignty and independence." Unfortunately, "Today, this 'problem' of the United States has not changed, and it is still trying to destroy other countries through military or other means."

Shaoyigu pointed out that the United States and other Western countries always accuse Russia of launching a "hybrid war." , but it is the United States that really launches "hybrid wars" against other countries. After destroying Afghanistan, the United States has recently once again used the guise of so-called "democracy" and "freedom" to "effort" to disrupt the situation in Venezuela in an attempt to add another "contribution" to its so-called "democratic victory."

When talking about the comparison of military expenditures between Russia and the United States, Shoigu said that the core of Russia's defense policy is to defend the country from external aggression. Therefore, although the defense budget is far less than that of the United States, it is sufficient, and "every ruble will be spent on the blade." - Shoigu said that Russia does not intend to invade other countries, so it naturally does not need to have a huge aircraft carrier battle group like the United States. "What Russia needs is just weapons to sink the enemy's aircraft carrier battle group."
