The head of intelligence of Germany: Russia is more a threat than a partner

53
The head of the Federal Intelligence Service of Germany (BND) Bruno Kahl called on Western countries to be ready to respond to the “potential threat” from the Russian Federation, but he noted that it is necessary to maintain “close ties” with her, reports RIA News.





In the face of Russia, we have a potential threat rather than a security partner,
said Kahl, speaking in Munich.

He added that Russia has returned to the international arena as an “uncomfortable partner.” Now the West needs to be ready to “balance and contain” this threat.

At the same time, according to Kalya, Western countries “need to maintain close ties and channels of interaction,” responding to Moscow’s interest in cooperation.

In recent years, Russia has declared unprecedented NATO activity on its western borders. The Alliance continues to expand its initiatives, calling its activities "deterring Russian aggression." In this connection, the Kremlin has repeatedly pointed out that Russia does not pose a threat to anyone, but will not disregard potentially dangerous actions for it.

          I am not surprised at this ... after all, there was a promise by Western leaders to Gorbachev not to push NATO troops to the borders of RUSSIA, but they violated it ... and now they wonder why RUSSIA is taking measures to protect itself from NATO aggression.

          Forgot to see about the NATO attack on Yugoslavia or Libya, and we remember it well ... what ends the expansion of the WEST to the east ... only
          the war.

    Well, that’s the culture of the European. Anyone who can give change is credited to the enemy. Europeans do not know another attitude even to their neighbors. Hence the numerous excuses in the wars of extermination. From baptism to democratization.

So the feces (surname of the head of the BND) is written without a soft sign and fully corresponds to it. smile
