TRUMPs Return Raises Questions Over Future of CIAs Russian Recruitment Drive

Intelligence agency has been trying to entice Russians disaffected by invasion of Ukraine but president-elect is likely to want to make an ally of Kremlin

Trump Enters Dangerous Territory With PRIVATE Putin Calls -National Security WARNS

The Guardian 28 NOV 2024

Trump recently claimed that he had a private phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin in which he asked Putin to not further escalate his war in Ukraine.

However, the Kremlin DENIED that such a call had ever taken place, which led to confusion about what had actually transpired.

National security experts are expressing concern that Trumps habit of talking with international leaders outside of official channels greatly raises the risk of a major national security disaster occurring.

We are entering a dangerous territory of telephone games, where Trump is going to have private chats with foreign leaders, and they're going to tell their teams one thing, and Trump is going to tell our national security team another

Future of CIAs Russian Recruitment Drive

For the past three years, the CIA has run an unusually bold outreach programme. It targeted Russians within the country?s government and security services, attempting to turn them into double agents.

Slickly produced recruitment videos portrayed cooperation with the US secret agency as the patriotic choice for officials disaffected with Vladimir Putin?s regime and the war in Ukraine. The videos ended with instructions on how to contact the CIA in a secure manner.

Come January, however, any Russians who answered those calls will be facing a very different geopolitical reality. Donald Trump will be back in the White House and, if he pursues the same policies as last time around, will look to make an ally of Putins Russia. His nomination for a key intelligence post is Tulsi Gabbard, who has raised concerns with her remarks on foreign policy in recent years, including speaking of Russias legitimate security concerns as part of the cause of the war in Ukraine.

The dramatic change in potential policy towards Russia and Ukraine, combined with Trumps well-established dismissiveness of concerns over the security of classified information, may lead to sleepless nights among any double agents who remain inside Russia.

Any double agents would probably be aware of the danger inherent in their decision, and the long and gruesome history of predecessors who came to sticky ends. During the late Soviet period, information from moles inside the CIA and FBI led to the KGB uncovering and executing numerous Soviet officials who had agreed to cooperate with the US.

Several European security and intelligence sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, have confirmed in interviews over recent months that western agencies have stepped up recruitment attempts. These can involve reacting to proactive contact made by Russians, or cold-pitching using the trusted old technique of ?a suitcase full of cash?, said one intelligence source.
