United States foreign policy is facing its greatest crisis, one in which the global system it created is under extreme stress from outside powers. One of its central challenges is the result of its confusing foreign policy toward Russia.

Democrats and Republicans cannot seem to determine whether Russia is a geo-political foe, an adversary or just a nuisance that has to be factored in when forging foreign policy.

Putin Clearly Resents the US

Russian President Vladimir Putin has made his decision abundantly clear. At the prestigious Munich Security Conference in 2005, Putin described the Soviet Union’s collapse as the 20th century’s “greatest geopolitical catastrophe.” Since then, Putin has tried to revive the remnants of the old Soviet Union.

Putin believed that after the demise of the Soviet Union, the West in particular and especially the United States, did not treat Russia with the respect due a great power.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies conducted a year-long study on the recalibration of U.S. strategy toward Russia. In that recalibration, Moscow views its options through the lens of a security dilemma that defines U.S. strength as its own weakness and vice versa.

Russia believes control of its periphery is central to its own security. Putin could be seeking to reap domestic political benefits through foreign escapades.

Russia is testing its tools of coercion, which are increasingly unconstrained by the rule of law because the Kremlin finds this coercion sufficiently effective to meet its objectives. Russia doesn’t want war; it is finding it can get a lot accomplished without one.

The US Fails to Understand Putin and Russia

The United States and policymakers on both sides of the political spectrum need to understand that Putin is playing a weak hand. But considering his country’s dismal economic and political situation, Putin has accomplished his objectives brilliantly.

The West and particularly the United States has failed to understand Putin’s true objective. He seeks to undermine the global international system set up by the U.S. after the Second World War.

Putin is exploiting the crisis of confidence in the international institutions that have been the West’s hallmark, such as NATO and the European Union. These institutions have become victims to a lack of transparency, corruption and economic stagnation that have manifested themselves in Europe’s cutbacks in defense and a lack of a clear strategy and shared goals with the United States.

The World Sees a Retrenching United States

The world is now experiencing crises in the Middle East and Asia. For the first time, there is a prevailing view that the United States has retreated from the global leadership role it has held since 1945. This view has never been more pronounced than it is in Europe, where critics of U.S. policy point to how the United States has dealt with an aggressive Russia.

Former Danish Prime Minister and NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen stated in his recently published book, “The Will to Lead: Indispensable Role in the Global Fight for Freedom,” that “If the United States retrenches and retreats, or even if the world thinks that American restraint reflects a lack of willingness to engage in preventing and resolving conflicts by using military force if need be, it leaves a vacuum that will be filled by the bad guys. Nowhere is this more evident than in Russia and President Vladimir Putin’s behavior.”

Obama Changed US Foreign Policy

President Barack Obama ushered in a radically different foreign policy than that of his predecessor. Obama wanted America to have a diminished role and allow other nations to fill the vacuum.

This “lead from behind” strategy allowed Russia to begin its aggression in Eastern Europe and elsewhere. Throughout his presidency, Obama allowed Russia and Putin to reassert their influence, either by American acquiescence (removing missile defense systems in Eastern Europe) or by force (Russian annexation of the Crimea and its use of military force in Ukraine).

Obama’s strongest signal to the world and our European allies of this new U.S. strategy was the president’s disastrous Syria policy. This hands-off policy allowed Russia to re-enter the Middle East.

Two events in 2012 illustrate how Obama planned to deal with Russia.

The first event took place in Seoul, South Korea. Speaking with then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Obama inadvertently stated on an open mic that he would have more flexibility in dealing with the issue of missile defense after his re-election.

The second event occurred during one of the 2012 presidential debates with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Obama recalled a statement Romney had made earlier. “… a few months ago when you were asked what’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaida. You said Russia,” Obama said. The President then added “ … the 1980s, they’re now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”

Throughout the 2016 presidential campaign and afterword, Donald Trump has given mixed signals about how he would deal with Russia and Putin. He often speaks fondly of the Russian leader’s leadership style, how he would make a deal with Moscow and how he would like to work with Putin on a host of issues.

Trump Fails to Understand Putin’s Motives

President Trump seems to be falling into the same trap that Obama did. Trump thinks he can work with Russia on various issues and believes that Moscow will help the U.S. end the Syrian civil war.

The Trump administration needs to understand that Moscow’s aim is to replace the United States by forcing it out of the Middle East and diminish the global system that Washington has dominated for decades. The Middle East is a prime example of how Russia is cozying up to Iran, one of the principal protagonists in Syria and the region.

The United States must show its allies that recent Russian aggression is now a thing of the past and will not be tolerated. We need to remember that others are watching how we deal with Moscow, most notably China and Iran.

Russian Spies Said to Have Tried to Recruit Businessman Who Later Advised Trump

Tuesday April 4th, 2017 at 3:58 PM

1 Share

Court documents do not identify Mr. Page, but the details in a statement he emailed to reporters on Tuesday match the individual described as “Male-1” in the court case. Mr. Page’s contact with the Russian spy was first reported on Monday by BuzzFeed News.

The disclosure is the latest to shed light on Mr. Page’s extensive contacts with Russian businessmen and government officials. A former Moscow-based investment banker for Merrill Lynch, Mr. Page joined the Trump campaign last year and traveled to Russia in July to deliver a speech to the New Economic School, a Moscow university.

The trip caught the attention of United States intelligence agencies. Later that month, the F.B.I. opened a counterintelligence investigation into Russian attempts to influence the presidential election and whether any of Mr. Trump’s associates were involved in that effort. American businessmen who visit Russia, even those who are not advising a presidential campaign, are frequently targeted by Russian operatives trying to collect information about the United States.

Mr. Page has given few specifics about whom he met with on that trip. In an interview with The New York Times last month, he said he had met with “mostly scholars.”

According to the court documents filed in 2015, the F.B.I. secretly recorded Mr. Podobnyy and another Russian operative named Igor Sporyshev discussing efforts to recruit Mr. Page, who was then working in New York as a consultant.

To record their conversations, the F.B.I. inserted a listening device into binders that were passed to the Russian intelligence operatives during an energy conference, according to a former United States intelligence official. The Russians then took the binders into a secure room where they thought they could evade American intelligence eavesdropping attempts.

In a transcript of the conversation included in the court documents, Mr. Podobnyy tells his Russian colleague that Mr. Page frequently flies to Moscow and is interested in earning large sums of money. Mr. Page was apparently interested in striking a deal with Gazprom, the Russian state-run oil firm, according to the transcript. Mr. Podobnyy called Mr. Page an “idiot” but said he was enthusiastic.

Russian intelligence officers had been given the task of gathering information on potential United States sanctions against their country, according to the F.B.I., and the three men were focused on economic issues in particular. The third Russian spy, Evgeny Buryakov, posed as an employee of a Russian bank. Mr. Sporyshev worked as a trade representative of the Russian Federation in New York.

Mr. Podobnyy promised through his contacts with Russian trade officials to steer contracts to Mr. Page.

“I will feed him empty promises,” he was overheard saying, according to the transcript.

In June 2013, the F.B.I. interviewed Mr. Page, who said he had first met Mr. Podobnyy at an energy symposium in New York earlier that year. Mr. Page said that he had exchanged emails with Mr. Podobnyy about the energy business, that they had met in person once to talk about the energy industry, and that he had also given Mr. Podobnyy documents about the energy business.

In his emailed statement, Mr. Page said, “as I explained to federal authorities prior to the January 2015 filing of this case, I shared basic immaterial information and publicly available research documents with Podobnyy who then served as a junior attaché at the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations.”

Mr. Page, who at the time was also teaching a course on energy and politics at New York University, said in his statement that he had given the Russian “nothing more than a few samples from the far more detailed lectures I was preparing at the time for the students.”

Mr. Podobnyy and Mr. Sporyshev left the country before the F.B.I. decided to arrest them, but Mr. Buryakov was arrested in 2015 and later pleaded guilty to conspiring to act as an unregistered foreign agent. Last year, he was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

“Evgeny Buryakov, in the guise of being a legitimate banker, gathered intelligence as an agent of the Russian Federation in New York,” Preet Bharara, the United States attorney in Manhattan at the time, said in a statement after Mr. Buryakov’s sentencing. “He traded coded messages with one of his Russian spy co-defendants, who sent the clandestinely collected information back to Moscow.”

Germany clashes with US over NATO funding

Tuesday April 4th, 2017 at 3:27 PM

World Socialist Web Site (En)

By Johannes Stern
4 April 2017

A sharp clash took place at Friday’s NATO meeting between German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel (Social Democrats, SPD) and his American counterpart Rex Tillerson.

Tillerson demanded that NATO’s European members and Germany in particular issue a statement on how they intend to meet the goal of spending 2 percent of GDP on defence with “annual milestones and progress commitments.” According to the official text of Tillerson’s remarks, published on the US State Department’s website, he added, “Allies that do not have a concrete plan to spend 2 percent of GDP on defense by 2024 need to establish one now.” Such plans are to be presented prior to the NATO conference in Brussels on 25 May.

Gabriel bluntly responded that he thought it was “completely unrealistic to believe that Germany will reach an annual military budget of more than €70 billion.” He was aware of “no politician who believes that this is achievable or even desirable in our country.” In addition, he had “absolutely no” idea “where we would put all of the aircraft carriers that we would have to buy in order to invest €70 billion in the German army every year.”

Gabriel’s remarks have nothing to do with pacifism. The Social Democrat Foreign Minister left no doubt about his commitment to the substantial rearming of the German army which was agreed to by his predecessor Frank-Walter Steinmeier (SPD) at NATO’s 2014 summit in Wales. “We have a plan—it is called a budget plan,” Gabriel said. “We are increasing military spending, but on a scale that we deem responsible.”

Gabriel’s message was clear: Germany is rearming and preparing an expansion of its policy of military interventions, but only on its own terms. “We Germans are currently spending a lot of money on accepting refugees. They come because military interventions went wrong. And because there was no stabilisation afterwards. So we know what it means when the only focus is on military spending,” he stated.

This was a thinly-veiled criticism of the US-led wars in the Middle East, against which Gabriel counterposes an imperialist European foreign policy dominated by Berlin.

In his speech in the German parliament (Bundestag) on continuing the German-European intervention in Mali, the foreign minister stated on Thursday, “Europe is being asked more than ever before to be a global actor, which is also ready to assume responsibility, and this is even though the European Union was not constructed as a global political actor. It was never made for that. Despite this, we cannot be indifferent to the conflicts going on around us.”

The “deployment of German soldiers as part of the European training mission EUTM Mali” shows “that where Europe is ready to do so, we engage jointly and can certainly achieve good results.” It was a “European strength” that “we deal with crises with a broad range of instruments: with diplomatic, civilian and police capabilities, and also militarily.”

A few days earlier, Gabriel announced a “new orientation” for Germany’s “Asia policy” and stated, “In many areas of international politics, we are currently experiencing crises, upheavals and new dynamics. One has the sense that this world is being measured anew—and everybody is using their own tape measure to do so. One thing is clear: Asia’s rising powers will play a key role in this.”

This is the old language of German imperialism. In the new scramble among the imperialist powers for raw materials, markets and cheap labour, Germany is once again laying claim to “a place in the sun.” The task is to “intensify [German] relations with Asia and organise them more strategically so they correspond to the rapidly rising significance of this region with 4 billion inhabitants and rapidly growing sales markets,” Gabriel wrote.

He had “decided, therefore, to establish an independent Asia department within the Foreign Ministry for the first time, which will better consolidate and further expand our regional competencies.” It was “high time that the composition of our team in the Foreign Ministry appropriately reflects the further growth of Asia’s weight.”

But this could “only be a first step. It is vital that Asia be seen as the key region of the future in our thinking and daily politics—in the Foreign Ministry, in the federal government and in the EU.” Ultimately, “the road to resolving our global task” runs “ever more frequently through Asia.”

As in the periods prior to the first and second World Wars, the “global tasks” of German imperialism are leading to growing conflicts with the United States and these will culminate in trade war and military conflict unless the working class intervenes.

On the same day as the clash with Tillerson, Gabriel demanded that the EU resist the “anti-dumping” measures against European steel producers being pushed for by the United States. He acknowledged the proceedings “with a large degree of incomprehension.” The goal was clear to him, “American industry is to be protected by disadvantaging the better German steel industry.”

There was no question that the United States was practicing “trade warfare” and was thereby violating international trade law so as to secure a competitive advantage for their companies, according to Gabriel. A clear position had to be taken against the US government and “the EU now had to consider whether to file a complaint with the WTO. I would strongly support that.”

In a comment on Monday, the Süddeutsche Zeitung warned, “Trump has to realise: if America adopts protectionist measures, Germany, the EU and China will adopt counter-measures, immediately, ruthlessly and without compromise.” This would involve “direct consequences, counter-tariffs, other penalties, but also publicly effective lawsuits at the WTO.” Europe and China would have the privilege of being “strong enough for such a course.”

The author, Marc Beise, then gave free rein to his great power fantasies for Germany, noting, “That also applies to Germany, which likes to play small politically, but which as an economic power is a great power that can afford to assert itself.”

U.S. Ill-Prepared to Stop Widespread Russian Information Warfare

Clint Watts testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee March 30 / Getty Images

BY: Bill Gertz 

Russia is engaged in wide-ranging information warfare operations aimed at undermining the United States, and the federal government has few defenses against the attacks, information specialists told a Senate hearing last week.

Moscow's large-scale operations include the covert attempt to sway the 2016 presidential election and dissemination of false news reports to sow confusion and weaken American democracy, according to testimony before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Thursday.

The committee hearing was called as part of an investigation into the Russian campaign to influence the 2016 election.

In addition to the hacking and leaking campaign during the election, Russian intelligence agencies engaged in covert influence operations that falsely reported terrorist attacks in the United States and against the key U.S. military base in Incirlik, Turkey.

The Russian government also backed the Occupy Wall Street protest movement and trumpeted racially charged news to sow social unrest.

The federal government has been unable to stop Moscow's propaganda and influence operations. Likewise, it has failed to counter cyber attacks aimed at stealing data or sabotaging critical networks.

"Americans should be concerned because right now a foreign country, whether they realize it or not, is pitting them against their neighbor, other political parties, ramping up divisions based on things that aren't true," said Clint Watts, a cyber security expert and former FBI special agent.

Russian information warfare operations seek to erode Americans' trust in the government.

"If they can do that, if Americans don't believe that their vote counts, they're not going to show up to participate in democracy," said Watts, a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

Retired Gen. Keith Alexander, former director of the National Security Agency, said the United States lacks a strategy for dealing with information warfare and adequate defenses for protecting private sector infrastructure from attacks.

"The consequence is if there were a massive attack, we'd have to go back and get authority to act," Alexander said. "Where, if it were missiles coming in, we already have rules of engagement. So, I think we need to step that up as well."

Alexander, who once led the military's Cyber Command, lamented that the military "wouldn't have the right people set up to react" to a major cyber attack.

"The American public, indeed all democratic societies, need to understand that malign actors are using old techniques with new platforms to undermine our democratic institutions," said Sen. Richard Burr (R., N.C.), the committee chairman.

"We're all targets of a sophisticated and capable adversary and we must engage in a whole of government approach to combat Russian active measures," Burr added.

"Active measures" is the term used to describe asymmetric warfare activities that combine propaganda and media disinformation with cyber operations to achieve foreign policy objectives.

The Russian election campaign hacked key political figures and institutions, notably the Democratic National Committee. A U.S. intelligence community assessment of the influence campaign concluded in January that the Russians sought to discredit Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and assist Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Cyber attacks were carried out by the FSB civilian security service backed by hackers working for the GRU military spy agency.

Information obtained from the cyber attacks was leaked to Russian-affiliated news outlets <a href="http://DCLeaks.com" rel="nofollow">DCLeaks.com</a> and WikiLeaks using a Russian online persona called Guccifer 2.0. Russian intelligence also exploited state-linked propaganda outlets RT and Sputnik to spread false information aimed at sowing discord in America.

The Russian government was able to manipulate key social media outlets such as Twitter and Facebook to cause topics favorable to Moscow's policies to trend on the Internet. Russia employs thousands of Internet trolls and botnet computers to tilt social media trends in its favor.

Cyber security expert Thomas Rid said the Russians use Internet trolls and botnets to flood the zone with disinformation during influence operations.

"The Russians were able to flood the zone, actually not in a broad-based [way] across the whole country, but literally target it down to precinct levels in certain states," he said.

The operations succeeded in fooling major mainstream media outlets into parroting Russian disinformation against the United States.

Russia is using many of the same tactics against American allies in Europe and is expected to resume its disinformation campaign in the United States ahead of future elections.

FBI Director James Comey disclosed to Congress on March 20 that bureau counterintelligence agents are investigating links between Trump campaign aides and the Russian government. So far, no evidence of such links has surfaced.

Eugene Rumer, former U.S. national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia between 2010 and 2014, testified that it is not necessary to publicly disclose technical evidence of Russian election meddling.

"It is the totality of Russian efforts in plain sight to mislead, to misinform, to exaggerate that is more convincing than any cyber evidence," Rumer said. "RT, Russia Today, broadcasts, internet trolls, fake news and so on are an integral part of Russian foreign policy to date."

Rumer said Russia remains weak militarily despite modernization and a growing nuclear arsenal. However, he noted that "Russian leaders have embraced a different toolkit, information warfare, intimidation, espionage, economic tools, and so on."

The Russian influence campaign is viewed by Moscow as an unqualified success, he added.

"The payoffs include but are not limited to, one, a major distraction to the United States, for the United States, damage to U.S. leadership in the world, and perhaps most importantly the demonstration effect: If the Kremlin can do this to the world's sole remaining global superpower imagine how other countries see it," Rumer said.

Other Russian influence campaigns have included efforts to skew online White House petitions, such as a petition calling for Alaska to be returned to Russia, spread false claims the military is preparing for martial law in the United States, and sow hatred and discord by backing the Black Lives Matter protests and land disputes in the western United States.

"Russia hopes to win the second Cold War through the force of politics, as opposed to the politics of forces," Watts said.

He added that Russia's goal is to topple democracies by undermining governments, fostering social division, and creating confusion about information sources by blurring the lines between fact and fiction.

Russian disinformation has included political messages and propaganda aimed at tarnishing leaders and institutions, especially financial markets and capitalist economies.

The Russians also have used "gray" propaganda outlets that promote conspiracy theories and are financed and led by Russians.

Russian propaganda promoted a false story on July 30 that the U.S. air base in Incirlik, Turkey, which stores nuclear weapons, had been overrun by terrorists. More than 4,000 tweets were used to promote the false Russian disinformation.

Watts said the U.S. intelligence community has failed to deal with disinformation and is overly focused on terrorism and counterintelligence.

"The U.S., in failing to respond to active measures, will surrender its position as the world's leader, forgo its role as chief promoter and defender of democracy, and give up on over 70 years of collective action to preserve freedom and civil liberties around the world," Watts said.

"The intel community in the United States is very biased against open source information," he said. "And has been surprised repeatedly."

Social media companies and journalists also are failing to deal with foreign disinformation.

"The media needs to improve. Our U.S. government institutions need to improve and we got to help Americans understand what the facts are, because if we don't, we are lost," Watt said.

"We'll become two separate, maybe three separate worlds in the United States just because of this little bitty pinprick that was put in by a foreign country."

The State Department and Department of Homeland Security need to create mechanisms capable of rapidly refuting disinformation, he said.

Watts said the Russians are winning at cyber and information warfare because they have "great propagandists" and hackers.

"We, on the other hand, worry a lot about who we're going to bring into the cyber field because they might have smoked weed one day or they can't pass a security clearance," he said.

Kevin Mandia, head of the cyber security firm FireEye, said technical analysis of the Russian cyber intrusions revealed sophisticated malware and techniques used by Moscow in its cyber attacks.

"So there is a huge infrastructure, comprised of machines or false fronts or organizations that are used for these attacks," he said. "And we found over 500 of those. We've analyzed over 70 lure documents written in many different languages. And these are the documents that you receive during a spear phishing [attack], and they're armed documents."

Alexander said the United States needs to engage Russia diplomatically while confronting it using intelligence capabilities.

"We have to come up with a way of sharing threat intelligence information at network speed and practicing what our government and industry do together and work that with our allies," Alexander said.

"I believe we can do this and protect civil liberties and privacy," he said. "I think we often convolve those two, but we can actually separate and show that you can do both."

FBI agent arrives armed, drunk at police station after partner shot at cop, report shows

Tuesday April 4th, 2017 at 2:41 PM

1 Share

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - After a Las Vegas-based FBI special agent was arrested for shooting at police in a bizarre episode at a fitness club, his partner showed up at police headquarters armed and drunk, reports say.

John Paul Salazar II was not arrested but the FBI is investigating his actions in the hours after his partner, Ruben Hernandez, fired at police Sgt. Neil Gomez outside of Planet Fitness at 3681 28th St. SE.

"It should be noted that Salazar seemed intoxicated to all officers speaking to him in the lobby," Deputy Chief Daniel Savage wrote in police reports obtained by MLive and The Grand Rapids Press under the Freedom of Information Act.

"It was eventually determined that Salazar was armed - (special agent Sean Burns) took possession of Salazar's handgun upon (Burns') arrival."

Grand Rapids police interviewed Salazar before he left with Burns, who was in charge of the Grand Rapids office before his recent retirement.

Police Sgt. Terry Dixon said investigators focused on Salazar as a witness but provided reports about his actions to the FBI and U.S. Office of Inspector General to determine if any discipline should be taken.

Dixon said that Salazar should not have possessed a firearm after drinking. He said police "basically turned everything over to the FBI, to allow them to handle the issues with him."

Police reports showed that Salazar's rented Nissan Versa was parked outside of police headquarters. Salazar later opened the car door in the presence of police to retrieve items.

No one witnessed Salazar driving the vehicle, police said.

Salazar did not drive away.

"He did not leave on his own accord. He left with the FBI special agent," Dixon said.

Sandy Breault, spokeswoman for the FBI's Las Vegas office, said: "The FBI takes allegations of misconduct very seriously. This matter has been referred to the FBI's Internal Investigations Section in Washington, DC. Because this is an ongoing investigation, we will not comment further."

The Office of Inspector General declined to comment.

It is the agency's practice "that we do not confirm or deny the existence of an ongoing investigation," senior counsel John Lavinsky said.

Police said Hernandez, after a night of drinking, brandished a handgun inside Planet Fitness around 1:15 a.m. then fired three shots at responding officers.

No one was injured. Police arrested Hernandez at gunpoint in a nearby parking lot. There, they learned he was an FBI agent.

Hernandez, who has lost his job, pleaded no contest to felonious assault and could avoid a jail sentence in a plea deal.

He had a blood-alcohol level of 0.13 percent - a motorist is presumed intoxicated at 0.08 percent - and no memory of the incident. He apparently suffered an alcohol-fueled paranoia attack.

A married father of two, he worked eight years for the FBI. He could not believe he shot at police, his attorney said.

Hernandez and Salazar were in Grand Rapids to conduct interviews as part of an investigation into a telemarketing scheme, police reports said.

The night before the early-morning shooting, they had dinner at Brann's Steakhouse and Grille, where, over the course of four hours, they ordered two 14-ounce Bells 2 Hearted Ales, and 10 of the 20-ounce ales, records showed.

They then went to Sensations Showgirls, records showed.

Hernandez did not remember what happened after that. Earlier that night, he called his brother and said he was in "danger." He sounded "confused and wasn't himself."

Grand Rapids police later told the brother that Hernandez was safe, but had been arrested, reports showed.

Hernandez was in custody when Salazar showed up at the police station. Salazar seemed initially reluctant to talk to police. He said he had to get the OK from FBI superiors.

Police suspected he tried to cover up his intoxication with gum and cologne. An officer whispered that he had "14 sticks" of gum. Salazar was "somewhat evasive" and made several calls, apparently to his supervisor in Las Vegas, police said.

He wanted to verify that Hernandez was the one behind the shooting.

"Can I just make sure I know who it is?"

An officer asked why.

Meanwhile, Savage, the deputy chief, said he wanted Salazar to help police piece everything together.

When shown Hernandez's photo, Salazar said: "What the? Oh my gosh. Ok. That is Ruben Hernandez."

Burns, the local FBI special agent, soon showed up. He told Salazar to let police take his firearm before he talked to him.

"Just let them do what they got to do," Burns said, before taking Salazar's gun.

Salazar then provided police consent to search his cell phone as well as his Holiday Inn Express room. He also provided police with Hernandez's FBI wallet with FBI identification that was in the rental car.

Detective Sgt. Chris Postma met with Burns at police headquarters.

"Burns had removed Agent John Salazar's weapon. We conducted a round count and all ammunition was accounted for," Postma wrote.

"I escorted Salazar to an interview room and searched him. He initially was reluctant to surrender a phone he was texting from. I seized it from him and had him remain in the interview room."

At 5:22 a.m., Salazar took a breath test for alcohol. It was 0.116 percent.

Two days later, Salazar agreed to a second interview with police, reports said. Police noted it was "voluntary."

“Hand-to-hand combat” in cyberspace is how a NSA official recently described the November 2014 intrusion into U.S. government computers. Tipped off by their own hacks into Russian surveillance cameras, top U.S. cyber defenders spent 24 action-packed hours “engaged in a pitched battle with Russian hackers who had breached the unclassified State Department computer system and displayed an unprecedented level of aggression that experts warn is likely to be turned against the private sector.” Read, here.

Back to today: “FBI plans to create special unit to co-ordinate Russia probe,” the Financial Timesreports (subscription required).

That unit will have this to chew on: “Blackwater founder held secret Seychelles meeting to establish Trump-Putin back channel,” the Washington Post reports.

How an online ad for lithium pointed intelligence agencies around the world toward North Korea. It’s an incredible story from The New York Times’ David Sanger and William J. Broad. Why did the ad raise eyebrows? “Lithium 6 offers a fast way to turn an ordinary atom bomb into a hydrogen bomb, magnifying its destructive power by up to 1,000 times. The seller listed in the ad — who even provided his cellphone number — was identified in a recent United Nations report as the third secretary in the North Korean Embassy in Beijing.”

Sanger and Broad write that the excess lithium sale may have been placed because “North Korea has produced so much of the precious material that it is too late to prevent the nation from becoming an advanced nuclear power. If that is the case, Mr. Trump may find little success in borrowing from the playbook of the four presidents before him, who fruitlessly tried, with differing mixes of negotiations, sanctions, sabotage and threats of unilateral strikes, to force the North to give up its program.” More here.

Number of the day: President Trump has now bombed Yemen once for each day he’s been president (74), Micah Zenko of the Council on Foreign Relations said Monday. What he was reacting to: the Pentagon’s announcement that it carried out 20 more airstrikes against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in Yemen since the middle of last week. Zenko has more to say about Trump’s rhetoric vs. reality when it comes to the Yemen conflict, here.

In case you were wondering: AQAP is believed to have some 4,000 members located primarily in the country’s “Abyan, Bayda and Shabwah governances in the center of southern Yemen,” Stripes reported Monday, citing defense officials’ estimates. A little bit more, here.

Piracy is back again off the coast of Somalia, this time hijacking an Indian vessel. Reuters: “United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), which coordinates shipping in the Gulf of Aden area, said it had received information that a dhow had been hijacked ‘in the vicinity of Socotra (Island).’ It named the vessel as Al Kausar and said it had been en route from Dubai to the port of Bosasso in northern Somalia’s semi-autonomous Puntland region. The EU naval force which patrols off Somalia’s coast as part of an international anti-piracy operation said on Monday afternoon the dhow had been spotted further south, off the Somali port of Hobyo.” Story here.

And now for a slight change of pace: See what the world will look like in 2045, according to DARPA and a fun 57-second video from the World Economic Forum. Some pullouts: We’ll control gadgets with brain signals; artificial intelligence will control passenger planes from take-off to landing; buildings will be incredibly strong and ultra-light; and we will talk to machines that learn and understand language (don’t we already?).

What will Russia's Vladimir Putin do next?

Tuesday April 4th, 2017 at 2:27 PM

What might Russian President Vladimir Putin's next steps be toward Europe, the West and the United States for advancing Russian interests globally?

Obviously, the policies of the Trump administration are, at best, unclear if not contradictory. Hence, Putin needs to understand who in the White House and administration is key in making policy.

An iron law of Washington politics is that influence on the president is inversely proportional to the physical distance from the Oval Office. While Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis is by far the most experienced and knowledgeable senior appointee in national security and defense, the Pentagon is metaphorically a million political miles from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has so far been relatively invisible in setting a mark on U.S. foreign policy.

No doubt the FSB has compiled dossiers on the two Stephens -- Bannon and Miller -- who appear to hold sway over much of President Donald Trump's thinking. That should make for interesting reading. Last weekend, the Washington Post ran a lengthy piece on Bannon's personal history, uncovering a man who combined secrecy and a vagabond existence with no clear permanent place of residence. And the new national security adviser Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster has not been in place long enough to detect what his future policy recommendations may or may not be.

Putin has been described as someone who reads and learns from history. If that is correct, the Russian president only needs to go back four or five decades for appropriate lessons. The most relevant is President Richard Nixon's triangular politics balancing the Soviet Union with an outreach to China. The second is Ronald Reagan's firm stand on intermediate nuclear forces that ultimately led to the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty between Moscow and Washington.

For much of the Cold War and certainly during the Eisenhower/Kennedy/Johnson administrations, the main enemy was the threat of "monolithic communism" embodied in the unshakable "alliance" between Moscow and Beijing. Of course, this monolithic threat was nonsense. Nixon understood or at least believed that major fissures existed. Hence, the overture to China not only eased withdrawal from the Vietnam War. Détente with the Soviet Union followed along with the ABM Treaty and Strategic Arms Limitations agreements.

In the face of powerful anti-nuclear forces demanding disarmament in the West, Reagan persisted in deploying both cruise and Pershing missiles to Europe to counter Moscow's SS-20s. Perseverance paid off. The INF treaty led to the withdrawal of these systems. Ironically, the aims of the nuclear disarmament factions were partly achieved because of Reagan's steadfastness.

For Putin, as Nixon exploited the USSR-PRC cleavages, Moscow can do the same regarding the United States and forces in Europe eroding alliance cohesion and the chaos in the Middle East and Persian Gulf. Listening to Reagan, Putin would not back down once he sets his policy course. If Putin heeds these American presidents and act accordingly, he will present a most formidable challenge for Washington.

As Putin gazes across the geostrategic landscape, what does he conclude? First, the seemingly monolithic cohesion of NATO and the EU is in tatters. Brexit, populism, the electoral popularity of both Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders, elections in Holland (last Wednesday) and France and Germany later in the year, and the growing rift between Turkey, Holland and Denmark and possible confrontation with the United States in Syria over the Kurds are indicators that "something is rotten" in these alliances. This "rottenness" can be exploited as Nixon did in the early 1970s with China and Russia.

Second, conditions in the Middle East and Persian Gulf are even riper for Russian engagement than before. As the battle for Raqqa appears to grow closer, U.S. support and reliance on Kurdish Peshmerga and YPG forces enflame vehement Turkish hostility toward the PKK (Kurdish People's Party) and the Kurds. Further, the concern if not alarm of the Arab Gulf states over the P-5 Plus One nuclear agreement with Iran and growing costs of the Yemen intervention provide Moscow an opportunity to play honest broker.

Russian arms deals with Iran, Egypt, possibly Libya and the UAE, along with sales to Egypt, give the Arab states an alternative to the U.S. market. Worse for the United States, greater Russian access to these markets can lead to better understanding of the capability and technology of weapons the United States has sold. Along with arms sales, achieving greater influence is possible.

How then might Putin's fertile mind (or of those around him) be working? The major if not overriding aims are to enhance Russian security geostrategically, politically and economically. That means reducing or dissolving the coherence of NATO and the EU. In the Middle East, it means focusing on eliminating the danger of the Islamic State and other terrorist groups that could or do reach into Russia while reducing the influence of the United States.

A weakened Europe almost certainly could be manipulated to give relief from sanctions imposed over annexation of Crimea. Election of populists such as Marine Le Pen could lead to "Frexit" and very likely the beginning of the end of the EU. Whether Le Pen would attempt a Charles de Gaulle and withdraw from NATO militarily or entirely is surely not impossible. And defeat of Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel by a coalition government more favorably disposed to Russia is likewise not beyond belief.

So, what to expect? If Putin is as clever as some believe, the opportunities are too great to waste. Reliance as in the past on military intimidation through no-notice exercises and increased military deployment to borders with the West and Kaliningrad in the Baltic would be replaced by both subtle and "active measures." As Nixon exploited cleavages between China and the Soviet Union, Putin would leverage the fault lines in the alliance. Closer relations with Turkey would provide leverage both in northern Europe and in Syria especially if Ankara were perceived to be moving toward Moscow's orbit.

Propaganda, fake news, disinformation and misinformation, hacking and the buying of political fellow travelers in these states are tools the Kremlin knows how to use. And if Western cohesion cannot be entirely shattered, it is unlikely that Russian interference would provide a new cause celebre around which NATO and the EU might reunite as during the Cold War. Given the tensions in the Gulf and uncertainty of what comes next when or if Mosul and Raqqa fall, Russian influence without the involvement of large number of military forces surely will grow. A further benefit is that if the Trump administration continues to increase forces in the fight against IS, it might be caught in a quagmire.

Time will tell to see how clever Putin may or may not be.
