It’s No Cold War, but Vladimir Putin Relishes His Role as Disrupter
After a 90 minute meeting with Putin in Hangzhou, China, president Obama wonders aloud whether Putin " is willing to live with constant, low-grade conflict." Richard Haas of the Council of Foreign Relations, says its affirmative, that low grade conflict is Putin's thing. Other experts say Putin's intention is largely to build up his image at home at a time when the Russian economy is facing problems, and to create confusion through cyberattacks. In the case of cyber intrusions into voter rolls of Arizona and Illinois, FBI Director Comey says it may be intended to just sow seeds of doubt on the whole election process."
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.

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.

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.
