Vladimir Bukovsky tells Konstantin Preobrazhensky that Kremlin policy is to push America away from Europe. He also sees a cultural disconnect on endless concessions.
From Frontpagemag.com:
The Americans do not understand who they are dealing with when it comes to Russia. They are dealing with the KGB and for KGB people you are either an enemy or their agent. They do not acknowledge other kind of human relations. All their methods of communication are recruitment, compromising etc. They do not acknowledge mere friendship.
On the contrary, the Western people are always trying to find some compromise which is natural in Western culture. But for the KGB it is not natural at all. They understand it as weakness and a retreat and it only facilitates their requirements.
Really, is this so difficult to understand?
