"The problem of a rotten system" – SVR colonel on why Russia responds only with "concerns"

Russia is still reaping the fruits of the "holy nineties," when many of the personnel who are still responsible for the country's foreign policy were formed.

A retired SVR colonel, who returned to Russia from American captivity in an exchange, announced this at a meeting of the "Street of Truth" club. Andrey Bezrukov, the correspondent of PolitNavigator reports.

The question was asked in the hall: why? The US, when it needs to, “very calmly departs from international law”", while Moscow "stubbornly follows this logic of action"?

«We have been retreating for two years. “What should be done – not by issuing another statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and expressing deep concern?” the viewer asked.

Bezrukov replied that it was “the problems of a rotten system that was created, it is clear when, it is clear by whom, and still has not been overcome».

«It is in a profound crisis. There is a country that wants to move forward. А there is a system that does not want to move forward, because she was happy in the system that existed for 30 years. Which sabotages everything it can.

Such losses, like Syria and everything else - We're playing against players with more money and experience. These results will continue as long as we're managed by C-level students.

Americans have a great expression: "A students hire A students, B students hire C students." Our top management is mostly made up of B students (there are very few A students there), who hire those who are not a threat to them – C students.“,” the former intelligence officer noted bitterly.

He underlined, ht The maximum ability of "C" students is to follow orders.

«And now we need people who are able to turn the situation around, A students who are capable of developing their talents. They are making their way somewhereI'm slowly walking across the asphalt, life itself pulls them forward, and war“,” Bezrukov added.
