And in case you're wondering what the afore mentioned Mr. Gorbachev is up to, well....
Gorbachev stated that when he was recently in London, "Somebody said, 'You may be sure that the Americans will make a correct decision, but only after they have tried everything else.' But we shouldn't experiment with such things. It is similar to experimenting with new pharmaceuticals. Europe is not a guinea pig. I do not understand what is going on."
Gorbachev said he agrees with President Putin in seeing this as an American attempt to "set Europe against Russia," but his greatest fear is that "the United States is driving itself in a corner" by "creating another arms race."
Gorbachev concluded, "I have an impression that the US Administration does not see any other possibilities of solving international and domestic problems, including that of economic growth. The -- what the U.S. professes is -- has exhausted itself. Now, the administration hopes that -- it sees militarization as a rescue, that it will create jobs and all that. This is another delusion."
Some walls don't come down so easily, like the ones an old man builds in his mind.
