[M. Espinola]

What was your point in quoting from Josephus from his work "Wars of the Jews"?

[K. Smirnov]

The point is - to diminish your enemy (and I have no doubts you consider Russia to be your enemy) is to diminish yourself. That was the Joseph Flavius point on Romans, that is my point on American public opinion on Russia. (Hence - your photograph as a proof).

To stir up the argument I would ask you - what Rumsfeld was doing in Iraq in 1980s? Surely he was arranging sales of napkins. And where did Saddam get the mustard gas? Did USSR sell him that?

As to your statements like "it is obvious, so it is the fact"... I will not comment on that since it is obvious as well.

Have a good day.
