"There may be news outlets that believe they have Russia's meddling and motives pegged as it relates to the U.S., but having negotiated with the Soviets on behalf of five U.S. presidents, I would wager that reporters have gauged but a small fraction of behind-the-scenes activities. I can shed some light on the mindset with which the Russians approach dealings with the U.S., having spent decades negotiating strategic arms reduction agreements with the Soviets and, eventually, nuclear disarmament. President Reagan told me he heard the Russians were "difficult," but as I said to him, that hardly begins to describe their techniques for twisting and circumventing the rules.
