Unconditionally, we will officially submit all the files to the US embassy in Moscow, and not just to the embassy. I think that the US leadership will be much surprised at how their diplomats meddle with Russian internal affairs," Zakharova said recalling US multiple calls on Russia to stop interfering in US politics.

I would hope so. Because they certainly get into our business. Here’s the reality - we get into their business because we like having friendly regimes that stay friendly. It’s not exactly something new in the history of international relations. You don’t necessarily want to fight their civil wars, but it’s always good to install friendly rulers. On the one hand, you want as many friends as you can get and some of this is accomplished through backroom maneuvers. On the other, you want your enemies fighting each other, and that was the meaning of us being involved on both side of the Iran-Iraq War, with us expediting the supply of Soviet spares* to Iraq, while selling US parts** to the Iranians to finance the Nicaraguan contras. I think it was Kissinger who said - “It’s a pity both sides can’t lose”.
