Value Walk: U.S. Intelligence Predicts Worsening Of US-Russia Relations

The Director of National Intelligence (the unit that brings together all U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA), retired Admiral Michael McConnell, speaking at a hearing in the U.S. Senate with a report on threats to U.S. national security, said the tightening of Russian leadership’s policies would inevitably lead to an increased antagonism between Moscow and Washington.

The report stated that, according to U.S. intelligence, Russia had gotten back to its struggling towards democracy. This was evident in the increasing control over society and political parties “to the point that the next leader of the country would be merely appointed.”
