But why do you think the West rebuffed you then? Why the hostility? Why did the end of the Cold War not? Fix the relationship? What motivates this from your point of view? You said I was bitter about the answer. No, it's not bitterness. It's just the statement of fact. We're not bride and groom, bitterness, resentment. It's not about those kind of matters in such circumstances. We just realized we weren't welcome there. That's all. Okay, fine. But let's build relations in another manner. Let's work for common ground elsewhere. Why we receive such a negative response you should ask your readers. I can only guess why, to be a country with its own opinion and so on. And the United States, I have seen how issues are being resolved in NATO.
