The Russian SVR intelligence game in America

The Russian SVR intelligence game in America

Dr. Jassim Taqui

The American elections have a catch that escaped every analyst the world over. It is how the Russian SVR intelligence swiftly influenced the American elections through a series of Edward Snowden outburst during the elections campaign. Snowden was harsh on Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton for involvement in the creation of ISIS and financing the terrorist outfit with billions of dollars through proxies. 

Snowden showed with evidence from his Wikileaks that Obama and Hillary not only destabilized a relatively peaceful Middle East and Africa but also spread chaos and anarchy in the EU, America and elsewhere.

The US President-elect Trump in his victory speech quoted this contention. In that speech, he promised to cooperate with the international community to defeat the ISIS as he rightly, saw ISIS’ increasing danger to the United States and the global liberal and the democratic system.

Ironically, defeating ISIS is the main objective of SVR. In other words, SVR has played an important role in kicking out Hillary and the Democrats. Most probably, the SVR has taken a sweet revenge from Obama’s policy of sanctions against Russia following Moscow’s ability to influence political events in Crimea and Ukraine.

Furthermore, the writing is very much on the wall that Baltic Republics and East Europeans Republics would join Russia. Obama’s Cold War II and Containment of the Russian Federation have miserably failed. Under Obama, American lost its bite as a global superpower. Its failure in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Egypt, Sudan and almost all countries located in  the crisis and conflict zones has repelled its allies. Economically, the drastic fall in the oil prices and the unprecedented global wave of recession has hindered it economically and financially both at home and abroad. Washington finds itself in no position to bailout puppet regimes and authoritarian allies in trouble. Russia, however, was always there to extend the hand of help.
