Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security adviser to US president Jimmy Carter, has scolded East Europeans for behaving like children, who go to the United States to complain about Russia's aggressiveness.
““East Europeans should stop behaving like children and start coping with their own problems by themselves instead of going to the United States to complain about Russian aggressiveness,” Brzezinski said in an interview for the public Czech Television (CT) on Tuesday.
Brzezinski, who is referred to as the "grey eminence" of US politics, gave the interview on the day of the 20th anniversary of the events in Prague that brought the fall of the Communist regime.
He criticized Russia for its attempts to recover its power by gaining control in strategic firms of the energy system, for instance.
The prominent expert said he predicted the disintegration of the Communist system as early as in 1968 when Soviet troops, together with other Warsaw Pact soldiers, invaded then Czechoslovakia to crush the Prague Spring reform movement.
