Tensions between the president and the Department of Defense have been described as tense – but according to Wesley Clark, the former commander-in-chief of NATO, this is not an unusual phenomenon.

The system is about lying

He went on to say that Putin may not appreciate the situation itself, but there is an acceptance of a system that goes far back in time.

– With their system, you lie, you lie upside down. You’re hiding information because if you tell the truth, you’ll be the first to be shot when you’re not working as you should, Clark explains in the interview and continues:

– They know how to treat each other, so we shouldn’t make that a big deal. For us, this is shocking, but not for them and Putin knows it. He got to the top by lying to people, he knows how the system works.
