The New York Analysis of Policy and Government’s two-part overview of Russia’s relatively little-reported national security challenges to the United States begins today
The mainstream American media is apparently sleepwalking through one of the most dangerous challenges in the nation’s history.
Barely remarked upon in either electronic or print journalism, and little more than an extremely brief afterthought in presidential debate questioning, Moscow’s extraordinary military buildup, its blatant preparations for a major conflict with the United States, and its aggressive actions across the face of the globe have received less attention than the Kardashians’ wardrobe.
The New York Analysis of Policy and Government has often discussed how Russia became the world’s foremost nuclear power, thanks to the Obama/Clinton “Reset” with the Kremlin which gave away America’s lead in nuclear weapons, leaving Putin with the most powerful strategic atomic arsenal on the planet, (the U.S. State Department reports that Moscow has 1,796 warheads to America’s 1367) and a ten to one lead in tactical atomic weapons as well. Moscow’s resumption of nuclear armed patrols off the coasts of the U.S. and its use of Nicaragua as a landing site for its atomic bomb bearing aircraft hardly gets mentioned outside of the New York Analysis and defense-oriented publications. Putin’s $800 billion hike in military spending while America slashes its defense budget doesn’t seem to make a dent in the headlines.
Here are some other worrisome actions the American media seems to find not worthy of major note:
- The United Kingdom newspaper The Sun reports that Russia recently held a massive evacuation drill for more than 40 million people, including over 200,000 emergency services personnel and soldiers will use 50,000 pieces of equipment during the massive civil defence exercise. The exercise, run by EMERCOM, Russia’s Emergencies Ministry, is what the nation would do in preparation for a nuclear war.
- The Daily Mail noted that Putin has reportedly ordered officials to fly home all relatives from across the planet.
- Newsweek discloses that Russia has moved nuclear-capable Iskander-M missiles into the Kaliningrad enclave bordering Poland and Lithuania.
- The Independent has reprinted comments by “Russia’s chief propagandist” warning that any American action regarding Syrian/ISIS which Moscow disproves of could have “nuclear implications.” The authors describes the reactions of European officials: “The German foreign minister claimed that mounting tensions between the US and Russia have led to a global political situation which is ‘more dangerous’ than the Cold War. Writing for German newspaper Bild, Frank-Walter Steinmeir wrote: “It’s a fallacy to think that this is like the Cold War. The current times are different and more dangerous”.
- According to the Russian news source RT Russia will soon unveil a new stealth strategic bomber, known as the PAK-DA. “The plane is expected to cover a range of 6,470 nautical miles and carry 30-40 tons of weapons…”According to another United Kingdom publication, The Mirror Russia has developed the world’s first weapon to successfully use microwave energy.

While the United States has reduced its nuclear arsenal, and while former secretary Hillary Clinton opposes spending the funds necessary to adequately maintain those that remain, Russia has moved ahead in modernizing its atomic prowess.
Moscow is not relying solely on force of arms to achieve its aggressive purposes. A study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies found that the Kremlin was engaging in “A strategy designed to exploit governance deficits to weaken the internal cohesion of democratic societies and strengthen the perception of Western economic and political dysfunction by influencing and eroding democratic governance from within… Our study found that countries in which Russia’s economic footprint was on average more than 12 percent of its GDP were generally more vulnerable to pressure via economic tools such as gas supply and transit, corporate raiding of key national companies, and capture of strategic sectors. For those countries with less than 12 percent of GDP, Russia has relied on high-level political patronage, visits, and support for foreign policy positions contrary to Euro-Atlantic values and objectives… The United States cannot afford to remain indifferent to events in Europe or at home, as Russian influence is not just a domestic governance challenge but a national security threat.”
