The repeated announcements that the Russian resistance was definitely broken have been proved to be untrue.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Long term I do believe internationally there is a huge misunderstanding of Russia.
Western media present events in Russia in a thoroughly negative light. Yes, we have problems, and these need to be covered. But the fact remains that there is a propaganda campaign being waged against Russia. And this is disturbing.
Nuclear deterrence doesn't work outside of the Russian - U.S. context; Saddam Hussein showed that.
I think I was more or less, convinced of that by just the press, the US press. By people who were pressuring you, saying that you gotta beat the Russian's, if you don't win anything else, win the Russian meet and so forth.
To say that you now trust the Russian military command and control system because some Russian general told you from the bottom of his heart that's the case, strikes me as most unrealistic.
The fact is that Americans were sent to Russia that have not been returned.
From being a patriotic myth, the Russian people have become an awful reality.
You can't break Russian people, you know? 'Cos we're made in cold snow. We're very resistant.
But nobody predicted anything of this magnitude in terms of resistance. And in part, the magnitude of the resistance was spurred by our failures in reconstruction.
International terrorism is throwing down a challenge, and not just to Russia.
