Just watched that Interview:
I found it hard to work out the fact that Dmitiri Trenin said right at the end, "That the stakes are so much higher for Russia, I think that Russia will prevail over the West".
Well, he might be right. However, given the numbers as Henra is claiming in #13987 (just above), how can Russia win?
Is Dmitiri another example of the Russian Motherland mindset (shown by many recent interviews of the normal Russian public), being superior, never failing, always strong, always survive?
Or was the talk of 'maybe' Nuclear weapons being used as a last means for Russia to PREVAIL...?
