Hillary Clinton: We Always Overestimate Russia’s Strength Because They Are ‘Very Good at Propaganda’

‘And very good at telling its own story’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “Why do we always overestimate Russia's strength?"
CLINTON: "Well, because I think that, you know, Russia is very good at propaganda and very good at telling its own story, and because it has an aggressive stance toward practically everybody, and now that's been apparent with Putin for a number of years, you know, people are reluctant to, you know, engage, and they have a real, you know, sense that, wait a minute, you know, they're building up their military, they do have a nuclear weapons arsenal that we can never forget, they are aggressive, so let's assume that they can, you know, do more than maybe in reality they're capable of doing. It's an understandable assessment, although as you point out, it's been wrong.”
