The president Obama begins a week-long international trip tonight there were
taken to Italy and ghana the first stop on the main focus of the trip will be in
Moscow
The president's hopeful is he can reset
tension Russian-u_s_ relations on nuclear arms and other issues
but our next guest is warning this morning that washington should not fall
into that trap
he's one of the highest K.G.B. spies to ever defect to the United States
He is the subject of the best-selling book: Comrade J untold secrets of Russia's
master spy in america after the end of the Cold War
Sergei Tretyakov
xxxxxxxxxxxx Sergei welcome uh... thank you for joining us this morning
now the president will of the meeting now with the the top moscow officials
uh... will be meeting with flooded it wouldn't and others ad look your words
of warning you've said America is naive about Russia
that we think the cold war is over
you think that they're still trying to destroy us
people asking me all the time this that the question Sergei was happened after the
end of the cold war uh... and i'm always asking them
who told you that the cold war was ever over
it transforms like a virus
uh... informal are Russian military doctrine there was a definition of
potential named enemy adversary
United States NATO and china
in today's doctrine and especially in the adopted of the more than
Russia intelligence as the rest of definition of main targets
it's United States NATO e china
i don't see to much difference
but there is a difference but where if you are my potential enemy is one thing
but if you're my target you're my target right now
you so you say that there were still a target for Moscou
yes
yes, the other thing it is
if American side will concentrate all efforts to deal with with the Mr. Hugh Hewitt
I think it's a waste of time because Mr. Hugh Hewitt doesn't have
any political wait, any wait of all. But wait a minute the president of the United States
has an estimate of is thoughtful
these forward-looking is doing a fine job
of running Russia does the words of president Obama
uh...
can express my own opinion
about Mr. Hugh Hewitt
uh... i think that Mr. Hugh Hewitt could never had any political experience and
he doesn't understand what politics are
that's why
the best thing is just
to speak with us, with some other people let or some other people
you mean Putin
yes uh... Putin it is not much better than Hugh Hewitt
but they at least bloom and steered the last eight years building his mafia
his mafia, yes which is very obedient to him, because the....
..... or i'm sorry I have a disorder that all the time i was
not still has a spine grip on on Russia not as the president of the United States
uh... It's difficult but
he's the president United States you must .......
... because we cannot neglected Russia, Russia is still a very
important player in the world about the my understanding is is the third world
country with uh... had a lot of weapons especially nuclear weapon, yeah apparently
but i gather because i like twenty thousand nuclear weapons of between a
sort of final point of just a minute
uh... looked or there's been some progress Russia just the other day
allowed uh... the military our military
and era carter
to support our efforts in afeghanistan so there is cooperation but there doesn't
seem to be very much on .... and stopping iran's nuclear effort
are absolutely dead of says he doesn't want any more sanctions
Absolutely firstable
with this concession with the afeghanistan and it's in the interest of Russia
because the Russian war a lost as the world in afeghanistan them
and right now if Americans will defect of the areas that is in the interests of Russia
if you go to any other aspect if international relations i don't know
middle east latin america iran South Korea there is no there is no
productive the a dialogue between Russia and the west
and first will between
Russia and the United States of america or all of those are words of warning
uh... chilling words in a sensor kick off who defected
in two thousand one of the top diplomats at the united nations for Russia
and then a fascinating story manifesting book i thank you very much for joining
us
and we hope that some of our leaders keep in ther mind and as they head
journey off to your old stomping grounds
figures only absolutely
