A New Russian “Re-set?”
There is a lot that remains unknown about Russia’s involvement in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections.
Source: KCRW’s To the Point
Carnegie’s Andrew Weiss spoke with Warren Olney about Russia’s involvement in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, as well as President-elect Donald Trump’s recent cabinet nominations. Weiss suggested that the U.S. Congress should lead a deep investigation, beyond oversight powers, to determine Russia’s scope and intentions, which seem to reach beyond the presidential-level election. With regard to cabinet nominations, Weiss mentioned that historically, presidents have been entitled to pick his or her advisors unless there are serious disqualifications.

Mounting economic strain and battlefield losses will not necessarily make the Kremlin less dangerous. They could instead push Moscow toward a more aggressive hybrid campaign designed to test NATO’s Eastern flank, exploit allied hesitation, and fracture European resolve.
