Recently, the US White House said that the Russian government has sent agents into eastern Ukraine and is ready to launch provocations and carry out "false flag operations" to create a pretext for "invading" Ukraine. In response, the Russian Kremlin refuted the remarks, calling it "unfounded rumors", but the Western media led by the United States are still frequently hyping up the matter.

The report pointed out that White House press secretary Psaki claimed at a press conference on the 14th that Russia is preparing for an "invasion" of Ukraine. Subsequently, McCall said in an interview with the media that he "really thinks a new Cold War is underway."

"I really feel like [the U.S. and Russia] are engaged in a new Cold War. Because I think Putin is sniffing out weaknesses here again. If they really 'invade' Ukraine, what are our commanders prepared to do to stop them? McCall said.

McCall also said, "So far, I haven't seen much deterrence. I saw some tough rhetoric, but there was no action... You have to put things like sanctions on the table, you have to talk about more arms sales, you have to talk about arms sales to Ukraine. ”
