Putin: “I am not your friend, I am the President of Russia”

July 23, 2016 By Inessa S 1 Comment

When German journalists asked the very simplistic question on whether Putin considered himself a friend or a foe to the West- he answered neither. There is the simple concept of national interests, which may or may not be at odds with other countries. Diplomacy is the art of being able to reconcile your national interests, alongside those of other States, compromising on certain aspects along the way. However, the opposing worldview has shown not to allow for mutual respect, nor for cooperation. Through a number of covert means, they ask for nothing less than for Russia to no longer ascertain its national interests.

    I remember seeing this entire interview when it was first done. It had an interesting piece when V.V. talked of the differences between Russian and German, and quoted a lovely haunting German poem. Yet now you cant find it, just a couple of sections. Why I have no idea – there was no obvious reason to edited and delete it. Pity.
