The Kremlin Playbook

by CSIS | Center for Strategic and International Studies

153

In 2016, a rival foreign power, Vladimir Putin’s Russia, launched an attack on the United States of America.   What we now know is that American intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia planned and executed a campaign to undermine our democracy and to affect our Presidential election.   For President Trump, Russia is a complicated subject.  But this podcast isn't about Donald Trump's complications with Russia, nor is it about Republicans and Democrats.   One of the dangers in the hyper partisan American debate over Russia’s role in the 2016 presidential election is that it is blurring the larger picture.  This three part podcast mini-series is about the larger picture.  Episode one will look at why Russia meddled in our election; episode two will examine case studies of past Russian behavior; and episode three will discuss what the US can do to counter Russia's actions.   Hosted by CSIS's H. Andrew Schwartz, co-host of "Bob Schieffer's About the News"

Straight forward and non partisan. Looking forward to more episodes.

Big picture view

Great, a-political analysis of Russia. Their motivations, methods and means as well as ways to counter. If you think this is “fake news” or more maiming about who won/lost the 2016 election you’re missing the point. The original study focused on European countries and Russia’s main goal to break apart liberal (not left leaning but free) democracies and alliances. This is bigger than American politics.

How about this comment section...

Listen to the podcast, share it with all your friends, then look at the garbage in the comment section. The trolls are out in force for this one. That means it must be right in the money. Thanks for proving the folks at CSIS right :)

Wonderful Podcast!

As a baby Boomer, who has spent his adult life in the military or working for the military, this podcast is a reaffirmation of what the Russians have always been up to. It will inform you on the true nature of the threat, which has always been there. Americans have apparently purged all of the history prior to 1990 out of their heads. This podcast will help get your head back on straight!

Sun Tzu's The Art Of War for the internet and social media age

"Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! ... At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide." Abraham Lincoln

The same old rehash of Cold War 2.0 propaganda

Podcasts like this are propaganda fronts designed to push the West into a confrontation with Russia at the behest of this unholy alliance between neoliberals and neoconservatives. Most of us regular folks do not want to die in a nuclear exchange

Fascinating, timely, relevant

This podcast offers a fascinating expert overview of the new geo-political challenges western societies face, and Russian goals far beyond the recent US presidential election. Please, give it a listen before dismissing it as politically biased.

Fantastic podcast

This podcast is not political which is super important in today’s world. This is a very clear explanation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections, including the history going back decades of why it happened.

Get over it

You are pathetic

Fake news

The Center for Strategic and International Studies is nothing more than an arm of the state department so if you want to hear them you should just look at their youtube videos instead of listening to this garbage of a podcast. Fake news.

CSIS is the clear authority on the subject

CSIS explains Russian interference well, and takes a step back from the partisan bickering so we can see its implications in broader terms

Our election was not hacked...

Stop trying to reignite the Cold War.

Interesting

Comprehensive, interesting
MaxxHead

For crying out loud! Give it a rest!

The Russians had NOTHING to do with Distillery Clintoon losing, she was a terrible, corrupt candidate offering another four, long, tedious years of Queen Hussein's schtick. Grow up!
Gwynplaine920

A fascinating, non-partisan, expert view.

What is Russia looking to gain? What’s driving them? And where have they learned and perfected these methods? Looking forward to a long and enlightening exposé.

Highly relevant

It will be interesting to watch how troll bots attack this podcast to keep it from rising in podcast rankings.

Idk guys

This seems like fake news.
Surakrick

Fascinating! Please, need more episodes!!

This first episode was informative and eye opening. I was born during the cold war, so this podcast has special interest to me. The history alone should be mandatory listening for all Americans. Please, continue to make more episodes. Thank you for creating this program.
