Comments On: Russia Vs. NATO War Almost Broke Our 66 Times In 12 Months

Russia and NATO are engaged in an "action-reaction cycle" that is difficult to stop. History is full of examples of tensions that escalated into war even when neither side intended it. Something similar could happen between Russian and NATO forces. According to the European Leadership Network, a war between Russia and the West almost broke out 66 times between March 2014 and March 2015.

Russia, NATO hold military drills with war plans in mind

The London-based think tank has been keeping count since March 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea. Soon after, Russian-backed separatists declared war against Ukrainian government forces in eastern Ukraine. As tensions with the West continued to escalate, the Kremlin made thing worse by bullying the Baltic states.
The European Leadership Network is a group of 14 people including former German defense minister Volker Ruehe, and ex-Russian foreign minister Igor Ivanov. The think tank said that NATO and Russia conduct military drills "with war plans in mind." Though the Western military alliance has planned to conduct only 280 drills this year, Russia has announced 4,000 military exercises in 2015.
However, Moscow has still lashed out at NATO for its "provocative policy." Russia Foreign Ministry recently said that NATO was not ready to recognize the "possible explosive consequences" of holding military drills. Since last year, the Western alliance has intercepted hundreds of Russian fighter jets over NATO airspace. These Russian jets fly with their transponders turned off, posing a direct threat to civil aviation.

NATO building up military presence near Russian border

NATO troops have increased their presence in eastern Europe to counter Russian aggression. They were practicing "air lifts, sea landings, and assaults" in the region. NATO is set to hold its biggest military exercise in over a decade in October. Earlier this week, the U.S. Air Force Secretary Deborah James said the Pentagon would send its Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) F-22 fighter jets to Europe.
The European Leadership Network has called for a high-level Russia-NATO meeting. The two sides must reduce the risk of inadvertently triggering a war by agreeing common rules to handle the unexpected military encounters, the think tank added.

China and Russia are cross-indexing hacked data to target U.S. spies, officials say
Monday August 31st, 2015 at 8:35 AM

1 Share
Foreign spy services, especially in China and Russia, are aggressively aggregating and cross-indexing hacked U.S. computer databases — including security clearance applications, airline records and medical insurance forms — to identify U.S. intelligence officers and agents, U.S. officials said.
At least one clandestine network of American engineers and scientists who provide technical assistance to U.S. undercover operatives and agents overseas has been compromised as a result, according to two U.S. officials.
The Obama administration has scrambled to boost cyberdefenses for federal agencies and crucial infrastructure as foreign-based attacks have penetrated government websites and email systems, social media accounts and, most important, vast data troves containing Social Security numbers, financial information, medical records and other personal data on millions of Americans.
Counterintelligence officials say their adversaries combine those immense data files and then employ sophisticated software to try to isolate disparate clues that can be used to identify and track — or worse, blackmail and recruit — U.S. intelligence operatives.
Digital analysis can reveal "who is an intelligence officer, who travels where, when, who's got financial difficulties, who's got medical issues, [to] put together a common picture," William Evanina, the top counterintelligence official for the U.S. intelligence community [hprlnk - M.N.], said in an interview.
Asked whether adversaries had used this information against U.S. operatives, Evanina said, "Absolutely."
Evanina declined to say which nations are involved. Other U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss internal assessments, say China and Russia are collecting and scrutinizing sensitive U.S. computer files for counterintelligence purposes.
U.S. cyberspying is also extensive, but authorities in Moscow and Beijing frequently work in tandem with criminal hackers and private companies to find and extract sensitive data from U.S. systems, rather than steal it themselves. That limits clear targets for U.S. retaliation.
The Obama administration marked a notable exception last week when a U.S. military drone strike near Raqqah, Syria, killed the British-born leader of the CyberCaliphate, an Islamic State hacking group that has aggressively sought to persuade sympathizers to launch "lone wolf" attacks in the United States and elsewhere.
Junaid Hussain had posted names, addresses and photos of about 1,300 U.S. military and other officials on Twitter and the Internet, and urged his followers to find and kill them, according to U.S. officials. They said he also had been in contact with one of the two heavily armed attackers killed in May outside a prophet Muhammad cartoon contest in Garland, Texas. Hussain is the first known hacker targeted by a U.S. drone.
The Pentagon also is scouring the leaked list of clients and their sexual preferences from the Ashley Madison cheating website to identify service members who may have violated military rules against infidelity and be vulnerable to extortion by foreign intelligence agencies.
Far more worrisome was last year's cyberlooting — allegedly by China — of U.S. Office of Personnel Management databases holding detailed personnel records and security clearance application files for about 22 million people, including not only current and former federal employees and contractors but also their families and friends.
"A foreign spy agency now has the ability to cross-check who has a security clearance, via the OPM breach, with who was cheating on their wife via the Ashley Madison breach, and thus identify someone to target for blackmail," said Peter W. Singer, a fellow at the nonprofit New America Foundation in Washington and coauthor of the book "Cybersecurity and Cyberwar."
The immense data troves can reveal marital problems, health issues and financial distress that foreign intelligence services can use to try to pry secrets from U.S. officials, according to Rep. Adam B. Schiff of Burbank, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
"It's very much a 21st century challenge," Schiff said. "The whole cyberlandscape has changed."
U.S. intelligence officials have seen evidence that China's Ministry of State Security has combined medical data snatched in January from health insurance giant Anthem, passenger records stripped from United Airlines servers in May and the OPM security clearance files.
The Anthem breach, which involved personal data on 80 million current and former customers and employees, used malicious software that U.S. officials say is linked to the Chinese government. The information has not appeared for sale on black market websites, indicating that a foreign government controls it.
U.S. officials have not publicly blamed Beijing for the theft of the OPM and the Anthem files, but privately say both hacks were traced to the Chinese government.
The officials say China's state security officials tapped criminal hackers to steal the files, and then gave them to private Chinese software companies to help analyze and link the information together. That kept the government's direct fingerprints off the heist and the data aggregation that followed.
In a similar fashion, officials say, Russia's powerful Federal Security Service, or FSB, has close connections to programmers and criminal hacking rings in Russia and has used them in a relentless series of cyberattacks.
According to U.S. officials, Russian hackers linked to the Kremlin infiltrated the State Department's unclassified email system for several months last fall. Russian hackers also stole gigabytes of customer data from several U.S. banks and financial companies, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., last year.
A Chinese Embassy spokesman, Zhu Haiquan, said Friday that his government "firmly opposes and combats all forms of cyberattacks in accordance with the law." The Russian Embassy did not respond to multiple requests for comment. U.S. intelligence officials want President Obama to press their concerns about Chinese hacking when Chinese President Xi Jinping visits the White House on Sept. 25.
After the recent breaches, U.S. cybersecurity officials saw a dramatic increase in the number of targeted emails sent to U.S. government employees that contain links to malicious software.
In late July, for example, an unclassified email system used by the Joint Chiefs and their staff — 4,000 people in all — was taken down for 12 days after they received sophisticated "spear-phishing" emails that U.S. officials suspect was a Russian hack.
The emails appeared to be from USAA, a bank that serves military members, and each sought to persuade the recipient to click a link that would implant spyware into the system.
Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said the hack shows the military needs to boost its cyberdefenses.
"We're not doing as well as we need to do in job one in cyber, which is defending our own networks," Carter said Wednesday. "Our military is dependent upon and empowered by networks for its effective operations.... We have to be better at network defense than we are now."
Carter spent Friday in Silicon Valley in an effort to expand a partnership between the Pentagon, academia and the private sector that aims to improve the nation's digital defenses. Carter opened an outreach office in Mountain View this year to try to draw on local expertise.
U.S. intelligence officers are supposed to cover their digital tracks and are trained to look for surveillance. Counterintelligence officials say they worry more about the scientists, engineers and other technical experts who travel abroad to support the career spies, who mostly work in U.S. embassies.
The contractors are more vulnerable to having their covers blown now, and two U.S. officials said some already have been compromised. They refused to say whether any were subject to blackmail or other overtures from foreign intelligence services.
But Evanina's office, the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, based in Bethesda, Md., has recently updated pamphlets, training videos and desk calendars for government workers to warn them of the increased risk from foreign spy services.
"Travel vulnerabilities are greater than usual," reads one handout. Take "extra precaution" if people "approach you in a friendly manner and seem to have a lot in common with you."

IRAQ and SYRIA
Turkish fighter jets conducted their first airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria over the weekend as part of the US-led coalition. [Al Jazeera America] As Turkey joints the air campaign, the US may face a difficult choice in whether to continue supporting Syrian Kurds’ involvement in the fight on the ground. [Politico’s Nahal Toosi]
A 17-year-old in Virginia was sentenced to 11 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to material support for terrorism charges.

Islamic State militants have severely damaged the 2000-year old Bel Temple in Palmyra, Syria, which is considered one of the greatest sites of the ancient world. [Associated Press’ Sarah el Deeb]

[BBC]
AFGHANISTAN
US special operations forces in Afghanistan are seeking a balance between “doing too much and too little” as the US winds down combat operations in the country, according to a profile by Michael M. Phillips. This often means taking a back seat to their Afghan counterparts during operations against insurgents. [Wall Street Journal]
The British Museum has turned down a unique digital collection of Taliban documents citing fears that holding the documents may violate the UK’s anti-terror laws. [Guardian’s Emma Graham-Harrison and Kevin Rawlinson]
IRAN
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that he not opposed to Iran using nuclear energy for civilian purposes, saying that his opposition is only to a military nuclear program. [Jerusalem Post]
The debate over the Iran nuclear deal is heating up in Congress. Senate Republicans are gearing up to respond to a potential filibuster when the deal comes to the floor for a vote next month. [The Hill’s Julian Hattem]At the same time, Burgess Everett and Seung Min Kim from Politico have a roundup of key Democrats whose support for the deal may be key in preventing the President from needing to veto a resolution condemning the deal.
Iran’s President Rouhani said it was unlikely that there will be a quick resolution to the house arrest of two political reformers who have been critical of the 2009 election processes in the country. [Agence France-Presse]
SURVEILLANCE and PRIVACY
The DC Circuit reversed an injunction against the NSA’s bulk collection of telephone metadata without ruling on the legality of the program on Friday. [Politico’s Josh Gerstein] Just Security’s Co-Editor-in-Chief Steve Vladeck has more on the opinion here.
The NSA’s bulk collection program has been extended until November 29, when the USA Freedom Act’s changes to Section 215 go into effect. [The Hill’s Julian Hattem]
The co-founder of one of the world’s top security companies told lieutenants they should sabotage a rival antivirus software maker’s products in recently released emails from 2009. [Reuters’ Shannon Stapleton]
OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

Meanwhile, Egypt has summoned the British ambassador in Cairo to protest statements he made in the wake of the trial. [Associated Press’ Brian Rohan]
The US’s first special envoy for hostage affairs has been named: James O’Brien, who helped negotiate the Dayton Accords, which brokered peace in the Balkans in the 1990s. [Politico’s Nahal Toosi]
Defense Secretary Ash Carter awarded $75 million on Friday to a consortium of high-tech firms and researchers, including Apple, Boeing, Harvard, and 159 other organizations, to develop electronic systems that can be worn by soldiers or molded onto the exterior of planes. [Reuters’ Jonathan Ernst]

The UN Security Council has threatened to impose an arms embargo and other sanctions on South Sudan if the warring factions do not implement a peace deal that went into force over the weekend. [BBC]
President Obama’s “idealism and wishful thinking” has often hampered his counterterrorism policies, argues Jessica Stern in an in-depth opinion piece on the administration’s counterterror programs. [Foreign Affairs]

New questions arise about House Democratic caucus’s loyalty to Obama Friday June 12 th , 2015  at  10:24 PM 1 Share President Obama, with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi at his side, leaves a meeting where he made a last-ditch appeal to House Democrats for his trade agenda on Friday in Washington.
