U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, "Operation Atlantic Resolve," and the U.S. response to Russian president Putin in 2015-2016
06/06/2015
Defense Secretary Ashton Carter says the U.S. must be better prepared in coordination with its allies for the mix of propaganda, subversion and cyber programs used by Russian president Putin. It says this is not a return to the Cold War, but better preparation means it would be possible to tell when Russia was using these tactics, and when it was not.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
