Fred disagreed with my assessment. "I don't think you really know what you're talking about," he added.
His comment shocked me. What he said bordered on being an insult, but insulting people wasn't Fred's way. So what was it? In any case, his remark wasn't taken as an insult. Still, I protested against what he said.
"Protests don't make you right," Fred commented and began to smile. "Protests don't cause people to do the right thing and be sensitive to the truth. This factor might be very profound in the case that we are facing now."
Fred looked at me and began to smile again. "What are the two major elements that stand in the way of every form of unity?" he asked.
"That's easy," I replied. "Division and isolation. They both inhibit unity."
"You're right," he said in a serious tone. "Still, you don't know what you're talking about. That is my point, Peter. You don't know what these concepts mean."
"You'd better explain," I replied and shook my head.
"So, you really don't know?" he said. "You told me that America's intention to build its SDI-antimissile system had created a deep division between the USA and Russia. You told me that you have achieved a victory over that division in Venice when you announced that the SDI was being scrapped. What you believed to be true, Peter, is basically incorrect. That's where the problem lies, and the problem is bigger than you think, because almost everybody now believes that the SDI and its principle had been a bad thing. Unfortunately, that doesn't make it true. It makes the problem more severe. The reality is, Peter, the SDI hadn't caused the East-West division. Something else had caused it, which still remains. The U.S./Soviet division existed long before the SDI was introduced, nor had the SDI deepened the division. The SDI had only deepened the isolation of the two nations. It had added another potential threat to a long list of threats. It is common knowledge that a shielded attacker is more threatening if the opponent doesn't have a similar shield. That's why the SDI had become so enormously dangerous to peace in the way it had been implemented. However, it was originally designed to reduce the isolation of the nations. It would have done this if its design had been followed through as a cooperative project that the Soviets had been invited to participate in. The cooperative development effort would have bridged a lot of the isolation between our two nations and created mutual respect. That was its main principle. That wasn't allowed," said Fred.
"Why do you use the phrase, OUR two nations?" I interjected. "We have nothing in common with the Soviets."
"I am referring to Russia," said Fred. "The Russian people have the same aspirations to free themselves from oligarchic domination as we have. Communism was foisted on them by the British Empire, because we in America had succeeded to free ourselves from the imperial choke-hold. Russia was about to follow our lead. We are brothers in the same fight, Peter. In fact, we are brothers in more ways than one. If Russia hadn't come to our aid earlier, during the Civil War, the USA would have been crushed by the British Empire and America would have become a colony again. The Czar had prevented that. He had promised Lincoln the full command over the Russian Navy if Britain got involves in the war to support its imperial surrogates that ruled the American southern slave-owner states, the so-called Confederacy. Russia literally saved the existence of our republic. In return, when the British Empire and its agents in America financed Hitler's rise to power, the hired madman who had promised the empire to crush Russia, America came to Russia's aid. We always had a strong cooperative relationship with Russia and a common adversarial relationship with the world-enslaving British Empire, the war-empire. That is why huge efforts are now being made, by hook and by crook, and all kinds of lies, to isolate us from one-another. They'll dig deeply into their sewer to find something that will isolated our two nations and then destroy them one at a time. That's their game, Peter. Isolation is a key element in this game. It's a more dangerous element, because it is hard to detect."
