Schadenfreude

Zbigniew Brzezinski. How the US provoked the Soviet Union into invading Afghanistan
Le Nouvel Observateur (France), Jan 15-21, 1998, p. 76.
Translated from the French by William Blum.

There are at least two editions of this magazine; with the perhaps sole exception of the Library of Congress, the version sent to the United States is shorter than the French version, and the Brzezinski interview was not included in the shorter version.** It should be noted that there is no demonstrable connection between the Afghanistan war and the breakup of the Soviet Union and its satellites.

This interview was translated from the French by William Blum, Author of "Killing Hope: U.S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II" and "Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower".
