Zbigniew Brzezinski

Zbigniew Brzezinski

“Russia has neither the right to protect its national interests nor the right to be different. A regional power, enclosed in its rigid bounds, Russia is unable to establish viable alliances with leading global players. It should give up its vain hopes of some mythical Eurasian Union development. Its only alternative is to take the role of the Western civilization humble satellite.” So thinks an old US hawk Zbigniew Brzezinski, a former National Security Adviser and a prominent geostrategist.
On June 16, professor Brzezinski gave a speech at the Woodrow Wilson Center, dedicated to the ongoing turmoil in Ukraine and the US-NATO political agenda regarding the issue. Referring to a mysterious specter of non-existent “Russian chauvinism”, Zbigniew Brzezinski spoke about the mechanics of deterrence and revitalization of containment strategy directed against Russia. The geostrategist is convinced that “deterrence” is the most effective foreign policy tool.
Zbigniew Brzezinski is widely known for his russophobic stance. Stuck irretrievably in a Cold War reality the former National Security Adviser is most likely unable to evaluate correctly and impartially the current situation in the world. Behind the high flown phrases of Dr.Brzezinski about the US global leadership and Russia’s weakness his growing irritation is hidden. What is exasperating this old American hawk?
