Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 My source told me that Western intelligence agencies had concluded that Putin had ordered and directed the poisoning of the former KGB agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in Salisbury, England. The attempted murder with the powerful Russian-made nerve agent Novichok had shocked the UK and Europe.
#2 The poisoning of Sergei Skripal was similar to the assassination of Alexander Litvinenko, who was a former agent of the FSB. He had been expelled from the FSB in 1998 after making public allegations of illegal activity by the Russian intelligence services.
#3 Litvinenko, a Russian dissident, fled to Britain in 2000. In 2006, he was poisoned at the Millennium Hotel just a half block from the American embassy in London. His wife and son were also contaminated by coming into direct contact with him.
#4 The Litvinenko case and the Skripal case show two consistent patterns: growing Russian aggression and Western delusions about Russian intentions. The same can be said about China, which was launching its own battles in a Shadow War on the United States.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

My source told me that Western intelligence agencies had concluded that Putin had ordered and directed the poisoning of the former KGB agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, in Salisbury, England. The attempted murder with the powerful Russian-made nerve agent Novichok had shocked the UK and Europe.

#2

The poisoning of Sergei Skripal was similar to the assassination of Alexander Litvinenko, who was a former agent of the FSB. He had been expelled from the FSB in 1998 after making public allegations of illegal activity by the Russian intelligence services.

#3

Litvinenko, a Russian dissident, fled to Britain in 2000. In 2006, he was poisoned at the Millennium Hotel just a half block from the American embassy in London. His wife and son were also contaminated by coming into direct contact with him.

#4

The Litvinenko case and the Skripal case show two consistent patterns: growing Russian aggression and Western delusions about Russian intentions. The same can be said about China, which was launching its own battles in a Shadow War on the United States.

#5

China, America’s other major competitor, was also aggressively stealing American technology and state secrets. Obama continued to believe that he could get the Russia relationship right, where his predecessors had failed.

#6

The Obama administration’s dismissive view of Russia would continue almost to the end of his presidency. In 2014, Obama relegated Russia to regional power status, saying that its territorial ambitions belonged in the nineteenth century.

#7

Hybrid warfare is a strategy of attacking an adversary while remaining just below the threshold of conventional war, using a range of hard- and soft-power tactics. It is warfare conducted in the shadows.

#8

The United States must develop a new strategy for dealing with international conflict, because the old one is not working. The tactics used by China and Russia are new, but the goals have not changed. They want to become more powerful on the world stage by weakening and destabilizing the West, its allies, and the systems they depend on.

#9

The Shadow War is not the result of a secret plan, but rather the result of the tactics and thinking behind it have been hiding in plain sight. In 2013, Russia’s chief of staff outlined his country’s strategy in a public article called The Value of Science Is in the Foresight.

#10

Russia and China are now using hybrid warfare against a wide variety of adversaries, from small countries like Ukraine to large ones like the United States.

#11

Hybrid warfare is a natural result of having a single superpower in the world, as other rising and declining powers seek to challenge that superpower. Russia, China, and other US and Western adversaries use this method to fight against countries such as the United States with otherwise unchallenged military might.

#12

Russia and China’s Shadow War on the United States is driven by the same crucial and immutable forces, which could lead to disastrous outcomes. Russian and Chinese leaders are aware of each other’s history, and are aware that military planners in Moscow and Beijing openly discuss a variety of unconventional means to reduce America’s military advantage and influence in peacetime.

#13

The US is now facing the danger of a wider conflict in the years to come, if it does not prepare to defend against the Shadow War now.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

In late April 2007, the Estonian capital of Tallinn was rocked by violent street protests. The chaos seemed borrowed from a dark fairy tale, or perhaps from the streets of its more emotional allies and neighbors.

#2

Estonia, one of the most connected countries in the world, was hit with a crippling cyberattack that cut off its people from the outside world.

#3

The Estonian government was aware that their neighbor, Russia, was dissatisfied with the countries of Eastern Europe gaining their independence, and they feared that the riots and cyberattack were leading up to a full-scale invasion.

#4

The Estonian government struggled to keep the public calm as the country was attacked with misinformation and disinformation. The government called it an act of war, and Russia was the only suspect.
