I suspect that Matt has a strategic communications book in him in the near future. If not, well then he should.

Kent’s Imperative – Glimpses into agent psychology
Odd that KI did not mention the real-life contemporaries of John Le Carre who did so much to shatter the Anglo-American intel community; Kim Philby and the rest of the Cambridge Five.
HNN – Andreas Umland – The Rise of Fascist Rhetoric in Russia
That’s it!

Umland’s article is ridiculous anti-Russian scaremongering.The Russians are not my favorite people in the world, but they invade countries to protect their own citizens, holding their national passports. They don’t invade to steal oil.Mussolini said that Fascism was properly called Corporatism. Who is more corporatist — the nation that bails out Wall Street, or the nation that invades Abkhasia and Ossetia?

Hi scs,
Easy does it, I’m hardly anti-Russian. I just was excoriated last month by hundreds of commenters at Pajamas Media who were enraged at me for pointing out that Saakashvili basically provoked Moscow.

Andreas has been following and writing on the neo-Eurasianists for sometime. They are a nasty bunch and gaining influence with the siloviki. They bear watching and the raising of red flags ( no pun intended x 2 ) even if Umland engaged in hyperbole.
