  • “Undermining Democracy: Kremlin Tools of Malign Political Influence”
    Testimony for the United States House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, Energy, and the Environment May 21, 2019 “Undermining Democracy: Kremlin Tools of Malign Political Influence” Dr. Michael Carpenter Senior Director Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement University of Pennsylvania Note: The statements, views, and policy recommendations expressed in this testimony reflects the opinions of the author alone, and do not necessarily reflect the positions of the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement or the University of Pennsylvania. P a g e | 2 Chairman Keating, Ranking Member Kinzinger and distinguished members of the Committee, thank you for this opportunity to testify before you today on the subject of the Kremlin’s tools of malign political influence. In my previous role as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, I was the senior Pentagon official responsible for coordinating our defense policies and posture against Russia. It is my belief today that it is not Russian ICBMs or hypersonic vehicles that pose the greatest threat to our national security but rather Moscow’s covert influence and destabilization operations. In terms of hard power, the United States and its NATO allies retain a significant conventional military advantage over Russia and a credible nuclear deterrent that provides for strategic stability. In the area of covert political influence, however, not only have we failed to establish a credible deterrent for Russia’s malign activities, but we are failing to address the vulnerabilities that are continuously being exploited by Russia, China and other state and non-state actors to undermine our democratic institutions.

In short, I contend that the party elites’ rhetoric that the “East vs. West” debate in North Macedonia is regarding EU, NATO, and Russia during these events begins not a polarizing issue and that Macedonian citizens are to lay bare VMRO-DPMNE leaders’ strategy to feign loyalty overwhelmingly eager to see their country embedded to the Euro-Atlantic community—thereby allowing them in Euro-Atlantic institutional structures. In this paper, I to reap the economic benefits that EU ties facilitate—while analyze a number of surveys—including surveys by IRI, simultaneously ingratiating themselves with Russia and NDI, and USAID—and show that while virtually all ethnic snubbing key Euro-Atlantic principles concerning human Albanians are in favor of EU and NATO membership, ethnic rights and good governance.

  • L'influenza RUSSA in GRECIA E MACEDONIA IL CASO ZORAN ZAEV Vs IVAN SAVVIDIS
    L’INFLUENZA RUSSA IN GRECIA E MACEDONIA IL CASO ZORAN ZAEV l recente caso dell’ espulsione di due vs Idiplomatici russi decisa dal governo di Atene, ha riportato alla luce la questione delle azioni russe nei Balcani. Azioni che stano suscitando preoccupazione nei circoli della UE e della NATO, colpiti a propria volta da una crisi sneza precedenti IVAN SAVVIDIS fra paesi membri e fra le due sponde dell’Atlantico, dopo le ultime sorprendenti dichiarazioni del Presidente Trump. Nel corso di un’intervista televisiva dello scorso Marco Florian primo di marzo, l’Ambasciatore USA ad Atene, South East Med Energy & Defense Geoffrey Pyatt espresse la sua viva preoccupazione per l’attivismo russo nei Balcani. Queste le sue Direttore Sviluppo Internazionale parole: “Our concern about Russia’s malign influence in the Western Balkans is real. It’s grounded in what we see across a broad spectrum of Russian behaviors ranging from the manipulation of energy to the manipulation of the Orthodox Church to the kind of frontal engagement we saw during the October 2016 coup attempt in Montenegro”. Nel corso dell’ intervista Pyatt sottolineò un aspetto fondamentale e poco conosciuto dell’attivismo russo nei Balcani: fare leva sui secolari sentimenti popolari dei popoli balcanici, eseguire interventi spettacolari per il proprio simbolismo propagandistico: religioso, nazionalista e sociale. Facciamo una debita premessa: perchè tanto interesse? Tre motivi sopra tutti, uno ben coosciuto ai più, due meno noti. • Minare l’indipendenza energetica europea • Indebolire i vincoli di alleanza e unione dei paesi UE • Influire sulle capacità logistiche e di trasporto rapido della NATO nei Balcani L’ACCORDO DI PRESPES FRA GRECIA E NORD MACEDONIA.
