According to Gabbard, the "U.S. intelligence" has concluded that Russia is unable to occupy even Ukraine, let alone a possible invasion of Europe. She also accused Reuters of spreading "lies and propaganda" aimed at "stirring up hysteria and fear among people." In her opinion, such actions by NATO and the European Union are intended to "entangle the American armed forces in a conflict with Russia." Gabbard added that, according to intelligence, Russia seeks to avoid conflict with NATO, and this information has been communicated to representatives of the Democratic Party of the USA. Gabbard's statements on social media have found support from Elon Musk.
