The problem with Kremlins ("ardent haters of the West") is that they are a) In for money or because it is a part of their job description. b) Not too Russian.

The problem with Kremlins ("ardent haters of the West") is that they are a) In for money or because it is a part of their job description. b) Not too Russian. It's a distinct ethno-political subgroup. The latter would be apparent from reading the "Early Life" section of Wikipedia, or any source of the same effect. A Russian will not want to harm Europe unless it's kill or be killed situation - because Russia is a part of Europe and is not viable without it. A Russian will also not want to hurt Russian people or the country. Kremlins talk about the former and do the latter, all the time.
