A look back and insights from former U.S. Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, about Russia and Islamic terrorism not being the threats the way they are perceived
01/05/2009
A detailed look at Russia and Islamic terrorism from Gates that provides perspective and insights beyond the daily headlines about Russia (Georgia, then Crimea) and Islamic terrorists (in Iraq and the Middle East). Two critical points made by Gates about Russia- Russia lacks the capabilities it once had, and the demographics in Russia of a declining population which limit its influence. He sees Georgia, (and possibly Crimea) in the light of Russia exorcizing past humiliations something that Putin has repeatedly referred to in his speeches. The perspective also opens up thinking about what to look for in the future including surprises around the corner. By 2014 for example relations between countries in Asia had deteriorated regarding island disputes.

Russia experts and advisors to the Obama administration on the change in attitudes to Russia in Europe and the U.S. in 2014
04/02/2009
The Obama administration plans to take a new approach to Russia to contain Russian interventionist policies in the remaining two years of the second term and limit the relationship to working together on nuclear disarmament and vital issues. A loss of faith in the Obama administration and of president Obama in president Putin after a plan to reset relations on a sounder basis in 2008. This may be one of the costs of Russian president Putin's foreign policy- the cost to the Russian economy in reduced trade, foreign investment, and capital outflows from Russia.

U.S. sanctions on Russia following the Russian occupation of the Crimea and fears of occupation of eastern Ukraine
04/02/2009
The planned sanctions at the early stages of the crisis are for Russian officials and groups taking part in the takeover of the Crimea and threat to eastern Ukraine, and not on the Russian economy. Russian intervention in the Russian speaking eastern Ukraine would lead to the U.S. pushing its case with the EU and Germany for broader sanctions. If a standoff occurs as happened by an earlier Russian intervention in Georgia to support a Russian speaking region, these limited personal sanctions would remain in place.

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.
