I have moved a number of posts from this thread to better places: the Russian cyber & infowar and Russian politics threads.

Just whether a new thread is needed for the apparent Russian impact on the forthcoming US elections is a moot point.

Russian non linear warfare that is being practice by Russia in both Syrian and eastern Ukraine has two cornerstones that must be successful in order to succeed in achieving their three core geopolitical goals;
1. damage and discredit EU
2. damage and discredit NATO
3. completely disconnect the US from Europe and the ME

Those two cornerstones are;
1. info warfare
2. cyber warfare

Here is the initial report on the Russian GRU/FSB hack of the Democratic National Committee...from the company that carried out the cyber investigation.....

I am posting this simply to inform just how effective the Russians have become in the cyber warfare front.....

Bears in the Midst: Intrusion into the Democratic National Committee

CrowdStrike stands fully by its analysis and findings identifying two separate Russian intelligence-affiliated adversaries present in the DNC network in May 2016. On June 15, 2016 a blog post to a WordPress site authored by an individual using the moniker Guccifer 2.0 claiming credit for breaching the Democratic National Committee. This blog post presents documents alleged to have originated from the DNC.

There are serious rumors coming out of eastern Ukraine that the Russian mercenaries are right now---2 to 3 months behind in getting they pay thus the increase in criminal activities to make up the "short fall"....

The Russian FSB recently "arrested" an Ukrainian employee of OSCE for so called "spying" while he was visiting relatives in Russia and then suddenly released him when OSCE complained.....

NOW we see how this plays back inside eastern Ukraine and it is being used as an excuse to restrict the OSCE SMM mission....and that in the face of the simple fact Russia is a voting member of OSCE and voted for the SMM in eastern Ukraine.

.@luhansklove[=RU] "Lately we caught a spy in #OSCE, he tried to escape to UA. Now stringent control over observers, each move, each sneeze"


NOTICE how they seem to think the FSB still has a "prisoner".....

Threats like these are becoming more frequent these days...question is "for internal politics and or the truth" and that is hard to discern......

An interesting article...might in fact be a fairly accurate Russian statement...actually might be a "trial balloon"....in order to change the discourse with the West..
The Kremlin leaves the Baltics to the West, but insists on Ukraine (as I have felt all along.) In Russian: http://www.vedomosti.ru/opinion/arti...a-karta-afriki …

BUT WAIT the Baltics paid a high price to go independent and the article tends to forget that...
