America’s extensive intelligence apparatus is diverting its resources from the war on terror to increase numerous spy agencies’ capabilities in gathering intelligence on Russia, a number of US officials told The Washington Post.
As Russia-US relations hit their lowest point in decades, Washington has been refocusing its spying activities on Russia on a scale unprecedented since the end of the Cold War. The Washington Post’s sources claim that recent directives from the White House and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) moved Russia higher up the intelligence priorities list.
Some ten percent of American intelligence resources are now dedicated to gathering information on Russia. US spy agencies continue to increase their personnel dealing with Russia by shifting the resources focus from terrorist threats and US war zones abroad.
Russia is now being targeted in a new light with increased numbers of clandestine CIA operatives and the beefing up of National Security Agency (NSA) cyberespionage capabilities, officials told the publication, admitting that Russia’s reemergence on the world stage had caught the US spy network by surprise. They said that US intelligence capabilities “continued to atrophy” against the alleged Russian threat.

While things are not yet back to the Cold War era, during which some 40 percent of intelligence resources were focused on the Soviet Union, US spy agencies “are playing catch-up big time” with Russia, a senior US intelligence official told the daily. However, the terrorism threat, according to sources, remains the top priority for American intelligence services.
Tensions between Washington and Moscow soured after the February 2014 coup in Kiev and Russia’s subsequent reunification with Crimea. Despite US and European Union sanctions, which were imposed after violence in eastern Ukraine and intensified following the Crimean referendum, Russia continued to extend its hand of cooperation, especially in dealing with international security issues in Syria, Iran, and Yemen.
The officials admitted that better intelligence on Russia is an “urgent priority,” as the sources confirmed being taken by surprise by the events in Ukraine and in Syria, as well as by the latest series of hacks targeting the US Democrats which without any proof has been pinned on Russian government-backed hackers.
Ván cờ chiến lược và gịng sông Mekong...
Giả sử như Liên bang Đông dương thành h́nh th́ nguồn nước tưới tieu cho vùng hạ lưu Mekong được điều hoà.., Biển Hồ của Cam bốt và cánh đồng lúa Việt Nam có nước để làm thuỷ sản.. có nước để trôngf lúa.. Thực phẩm nuôi dân.. c̣n như làm đập ngăn gịng chẩy lấy điện đem bán th́; điện "..có ăn được.." không ? Cái điện cần hơn hay lương thực cần hơn.?? Đó là cái cần ngay trước mắt.. c̣n vấn đề X́ dầu..X́ dầu không thể tḥ tay can thiệp v́ là nội bộ của Liên bang Đông dương.
C̣n như nay bị ngăn gịng làm đập.. các nước ở đầu nguồn có lợi tiền bạc bỏ túi.. c̣n cuối gịng th́ " nhăn răng..".. chỉ có dân Việt nam chết hay sao ??
Nếu như trong cùng một Liên bang.. sự chia sẻ nguồn sống được bảo vệ cùng nhau hưởng..
Hăy xem như hội nghị vè gịng sông Mekong có ai nói... ai nghe.. và ai phân giải sao cho hợp lư chưa?? hay chỉ bô lô ba la vài câu ;.. ráng mà giàn xếp với nhau..! Họp xong ai về nhà nấy.. c̣n Việt Nam th́ ngửa mặt lên cầu trời mưa xuống !!
Sắp hết mùa mưa mà nay gịng sông bị xâm mặn.. việc cần làm là cái bao tử.. làm sao cho dân no là cái trước mắt./. nmq

The US Special Forces and Sihanouk backed the FULRO Montagnard fighters who were fighting against the South Vietnamese.[45]
The French, the Communist North Vietnamese, and the anti-Communist South Vietnamese all exploited and persecuted the Montagnards. North Vietnamese Communists forcibly recruited "comfort girls" from the indigenous Montagnard peoples of the Central Highlands and murdered those who didn't comply, inspired by Japan's use of comfort women.[46]
The Montagnard inhabited Central Highlands became open to the Vietnamese only under French rule. The word savage (moi) was used by the Vietnamese against the Montagnard Degars. Both the South Vietnamese and the united Communist Vietnam government were fought against by the FULRO Degar fighters for the sake of the Central Highlands and Montagnard people under the direction of Y-Bham Enuol. The war lead to the deaths of 200,000 Degar people. Degar courts were abolished by South Vietnam and the Central Highlands became flooded with Vietnamese colonizers under the direction of South Vietnam. Torture and mass arrests by the Vietnamese military were used in the CEntral Highlands against the Degar during the February 2001 protests against Vietnamese oppression.[4]
-----------
The Montagnards in FULRO fought the Vietnamese for twenty years after the end of the Vietnam War and the scale of Vietnamese attacks on the Montagnards reached genocidal proportions with the slaughter of over 200,000 Montagnards after 1975.[27] Since 1964 the Montagnards of FULRO struggled for their own country and continued to fight against the Vietnamese Communist regime which persecuted them for their religious beliefs.[28]

FULRO (viết tắt của cụm từ tiếng Pháp Front Unifié pour la Libération des Races Opprimées, có nghĩa Mặt trận Thống nhất Giải phóng các Sắc tộc bị Áp bức) là một tổ chức chính trị, quân sự do một số người dân tộc thiểu số ở Tây Nguyên thành lập năm 1964 để chống lại chính quyền Việt Nam Cộng ḥa đến năm 1975 và chống chính quyền Việt Nam đến năm 1992. Thời điểm kết thúc được tính là khi 407 binh sĩ FULRO cuối cùng ra giao nạp vũ khí cho quân Liên Hiệp Quốc tại Campuchia.
Nếu có 1 tổ chức LB th́ FULRO không phải chạy qua chạy lại trên vùng đất CAMBÔT và CAO NGUYÊN TRUNG PHẦN nơi cả hai đều có sắc dân Thượng sinh sống .
Họ không ngừng nghĩ tranh đấu .

NATO Investing Heavily in Defense Technology

October 2016

Germany is investing in a medium extended air defense system.
NATO plans to invest nearly $3.9 billion in defense technology between now and 2019, according to a recent press release.
The investments focus on strengthening NATO’s cyber and air defense, satellite communications, response force, and command-and-control for complex multinational operations, the release said. The first contracts include a major program for NATO satellite communications worth nearly $1.7 billion, a new acquisition for advanced software and more air defenses.
“Today’s technological change is driven by industry. … We are engaging industry early on to ensure we tap into that creativity,” said NATO Communications and Information Agency General Manager Koen Gijbers in the press release. “NATO will only be resilient if we embrace and can do continuous, rapid innovation.”
This year saw NATO allies’ defense expenditures increase for the first time since 2009, according to the release.
The investments are likely linked to NATO’s efforts to deter increased aggression from Russia, said Thomas Karako, a missile defense analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.
“Back in 2010, missile defense [investment] was almost exclusively about Iran,” he said. But it is clear that NATO has “seized on the Russia problem,” he added.
There are numerous possible solutions to the overall ballistic and cruise missile threat posed by Russia towards the Baltic states and other NATO allies, but Karako said the answer will likely be tiered and multinational.
“We’re already seeing some activity here, with the announcements by the Germans and the Dutch of some rotational deployments into the Baltics,” he said. The Netherlands recently decided to modernize its existing Patriot air-and-missile defense systems, and Poland plans to invest in it as well. Meanwhile, Germany continues to invest in Lockheed Martin’s medium extended air defense system.
Other U.S. and non-U.S. lower-tier programs, such as short-range air defense/anti-aircraft weapons, could also be used, Karako said.
NATO Communications and Information Agency documents show contract opportunities are open for a new initiative called Project Triton, which is meant to improve the functionality of NATO’s maritime command-and-control operations. Other opportunities include a bid to replace the submarine broadcast control authority communications equipment, and to boost the command-and-control of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense, as well as for a next-generation electronic warfare system.
