Comment: Jankovic is one to watch ---------------------------------- ¶6. © Despite his comments about not being a politician, Jankovic is someone to watch. He understands what makes people tick, and he has natural people skills. People tell stories about him at Mercator - working crowds of employees and customers, and helping the latter pack their bags. Mercator employees missed the annual Christmas party this year, where in the past Jankovic put on festivities for both current staff and retirees and stayed until 4 am spending time with all the people. His offer to assist in the Roma situation with the Strojan family was generally well received, and at a separate meeting Minister of Environment Podobnik even praised Jankovic's role. Even PM Jansa, on the opposite side of the aisle politically, recently told COM that Jankovic "will be good for Ljubljana." At one point, in discussing former SecState Powell's leadership style, Jankovic expressed himself a fan of "managing by walking around." It is a matter of trust, he emphasized, between those leading and those being led, that is key to effective leadership. Given Jankovic's overwhelming first round victory as mayor, he has a strong mandate to make changes in the city. Whether he gets tripped up by budget challenges or inability to get results remains to be seen. But we expect to see him as a major player on Slovenia's political scene for some time to come.

@WikiLeaks Publishes Global Intelligence Files: Over 5 Million EmailsWikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files – more than five million emails from the Texas-headquartered “global intelligence” company Stratfor, a global security think tank, via the international Internet hacktivist collective Anonymous.They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal’s Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defense Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor’s web of informers, pay-off structure, payment-laundering techniques and psychological methods, for example:“[Y]ou have to take control of him. Control means financial, sexual or psychological control… This is intended to start our conversation on your next phase” – CEO George Friedman to Stratfor analyst Reva Bhalla on 6 December 2011, on how to exploit an Israeli intelligence informant providing information on the medical condition of the President of Venezuala, Hugo Chavez.The material contains privileged information about the US government’s attacks against Julian Assange and WikiLeaks and Stratfor’s own attempts to subvert WikiLeaks. There are more than 4,000 emails mentioning WikiLeaks or Julian Assange. The emails also expose the revolving door that operates in private intelligence companies in the United States. Government and diplomatic sources from around the world give Stratfor advance knowledge of global politics and events in exchange for money. The Global Intelligence Files exposes how Stratfor has recruited a global network of informants who are paid via Swiss banks accounts and pre-paid credit cards. Stratfor has a mix of covert and overt informants, which includes government employees, embassy staff and journalists around the world.

Stratfor's use of insiders for intelligence soon turned into a money-making scheme of questionable legality. The emails show that in 2009 then-Goldman Sachs Managing Director Shea Morenz and Stratfor CEO George Friedman hatched an idea to "utilise the intelligence" it was pulling in from its insider network to start up a captive strategic investment fund. CEO George Friedman explained in a confidential August 2011 document, marked DO NOT SHARE OR DISCUSS: "What StratCap will do is use our Stratfor's intelligence and analysis to trade in a range of geopolitical instruments, particularly government bonds, currencies and the like".

Stratforgate: WikiLeaks releases ‘shadow CIA’ mailWhistleblower website WikiLeaks has exposed more than 5 million emails apparently obtained by the hacking of Stratfor, the private intelligence company dubbed the “shadow CIA”. The leak may be as high-profile as that of the State Department cables.­The emails, dated between July 2004 and late December 2011, give a glimpse on the inner workings of the company. They show how Stratfor gathers confidential information from paid insiders, including senior state officials, and provides it to large corporations and US governmental agencies.The private correspondence confirms that Stratfor’s area of interests goes far behind those of a merely civilian firm. In one report, an insider in Russian defense revealed sensitive information on the tactical ballistic missile Iskander, including its development progress and the use during the August 2008 armed conflict with Georgia.The think-tank is operating as an outsourced spy agency, recruiting sources and pumping them for insider information (and, as skeptics say, disinformation). It lacks capabilities that true special services have, like using spy drones or secretly raiding governmental archives James Bond-style. But otherwise Stratfor operates successfully, turning secrets into cash outside of the usual restrictions and need for accountability that their state counterparts face.The company’s spy network scoured for info on things ranging from health condition of Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez to the laundering of drug profits by Mexican cartels, to the loss of faith in the Obama administration by US business elites. WikiLeaks itself was also an important topic of research for Stratfor, with more than 4,000 of the emails mentioning the website or its founder Julian Assange.It also reveals Stratfor’s close ties with US agencies, from Marines Corps to Department of Homeland Security and what WikiLeaks calls a pro-American neoconservative political bias. “Stratfor claims that it operates 'without ideology, agenda or national bias', yet the emails reveal private intelligence staff who align themselves closely with US government policies and channel tips to Mossad,” the whistleblower website says in a statement.WikiLeaks shared the material with more than 25 media outlets and activists throughout the world. The partners have been provided with early access to the database for journalistic investigation of the emails. “Important revelations discovered using this system will appear in the media in the coming weeks, together with the gradual release of the source documents,” WikiLeaks says.WikiLeaks did not specify how exactly it came into possession of the Stratfor emails. However, the company itself admitted in December that its data servers had been breached by the “hacktivist” group Anonymous. The hackers posted online the names, emails and credit card numbers of thousands of Stratfor subscribers.Stratfor dismissed the leak, calling it “a deplorable, unfortunate – and illegal – breach of privacy.” “Some of the emails may be forged or altered to include inaccuracies; some may be authentic. We will not validate either. Nor will we explain the thinking that went into them. Having had our property stolen, we will not be victimized twice by submitting to questioning about them,” the company said in a statement.It went on to confirm that the WikiLeaks disclosure must come from the Anonymous hack.

Plain and simple. They need a functional NATO. And they need NATO to return to its primary focus-containment of the large threat (Russia), and protection of the NATO land (them). Containment has to be the primary focus for NATO. No matter who you are, if you're in NATO, you need to understand this. CzR doesn't see NATO doing this with tanks, like before. It will do this with missile defense and military projects (F16s-see below). Planting NATO's flag on CE soil. So that Russia cannot do that instead. Yes, NATO has lost its focus with the wars, but BMD and such can unite and refocus NATO once again. BMD CzR wants a role in missile defense. This cannot be stressed enough. The announcement under Obama to give bmd to others obliterated the Czech-US relationship-it is non-existent now. Now this may seem contrary to what has been in the media, but everyone has it wrong on what actually happened in the Czech-US bmd negotiations under Bush. To start with, no one is/was straightforward in the negotiations. Yes, it is understandable that the US keeps their plans secret, but not when you are suppose to have a partner in the negotiations. So here is how it played out: Bush's team came to CzR and proposed for the country to be part of the "bmd system". That was all they said. Some officials alluded that it would be the radar. In the Czech government, there was agreement that bmd was imperative. But every piece of formal documentation from the US was incredibly vague and didn't spell out what would actually be coming into CzR as part of the system. It was very strange and confusing. We had never done negotiations like this. So, we put off signing any document until we could know what exactly we were agreeing to. Why would we agree to be part of the bmd system, and not know what exactly that meant? Then they came to us and said that CzR would have to pay for its part of the system. We didn't have that sort of money at the time. It was a mess. Then the new plan came from Obama in 2009. Obama's plan didn't have the radar in Czech Republic anymore. Obama's team said that Czech Republic wasn't a "priority" for their administration and that other countries were more important to put the radar in-Romania, Turkey, Lithuania or others. Problem is that Romania says they have the deal, but they haven't had confirmation from the US on this. Turkey also thinks it has the deal, but it doesn't have confirmation either. No one knows who is getting the radar portion of the system. Everyone wants it. The Obama team then came to CzR and offered a "piece" of the bmd system. We were excited. But when we got the the formal proposal, it was for a "bmd scientific research center". This was simply unacceptable. This was not good enough for us. CzR needs US military on its soil, not a "research" center with no military and would have to be paid for by the Czechs anyway. Completely ridiculous. So we pulled out of any agreement to the current system. If the US came and said that radar would be put in CzR, we would agree immediately. But instead the US doesn't value CzR relationship at all. When CzR publicly pulled out of the current bmd system in June, Russian FM immediately called Czech FM and said that it appreciated the reconsideration. Czech FM said that it had nothing to do with Russia. That Russia hadn't intimidated it to change its stance, instead CzR was more fired up to "retaliate" against Russian aggression. As far as the current talks between the US and Russia on bmd, most of the CEs want to sabotage them. No one wants Russia in on bmd. Moreover, no one wants the US and Russia to be friendly. The US needs to quit with this reset-nonsense and move forward with a firm military strategy in CE. The CEs want to move against Russia, but can't do it alone. New CE Security Plan So if CzR can't get in the bmd system, there is another deal we will push for, as we are determined to get US military on our soil. CzR wants a batch of F-16s like Poland. It needs supersonic. It doesn't really want the new Grippen. CzR is begging the US right now for F-16s. The US said it would sell them, but at an exorbitant price. They are far too expensive for CzR who has had to slash some of their defense budget because of the financial crisis. Also, other countries who sell military equipment to CzR and the CEs do it within other deals, so it isn't just an expensive military deal. For example, the French sell things to CzR, but then purchase agricultural equipment from CzR in trade-all part of one deal (LG: I pointed out how the Russians do this all the time. Military trade for gold deals, etc). This creates a relationship more than just around one sector. The US hasn't done this. So the plan that CzR is now presenting is for 5 or 6 Central European countries to go in together and do a mass order of the F-16s in exchange for a discount by the US. It would be Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and maybe more for Poland - for 85 or so F-16s. It would be interesting because then all of them could train together in one country and then set up a repair factory in another country. The countries would be tied together - and tied to the US. The US would need to have military on the ground to train the CEs. This is the best sort of security alliance between US and CEs. If CzR can't get bmd or the F16 deal, then it is done with any non-Eurasian commitments to NATO. Period. If CzR can get bmd or the F16s, then it will pretty much agree to any sort of military commitment the US wants anywhere in the world. That is the ultimatum. Germans CzR is really on a different page on most issues than Germany. But is on the same page as pretty much everything with the Poles. So the Poles and other Central Europeans are its true partners. The Germans are like toddlers in their defense strategy. They have been divided for so long, that they do not understand how to act inside of NATO. This is why they are nice to the Russians. It is the wrong strategy with them. The Germans think they can handle the Russians. They can't. Germany can't get the other NATO members to agree with it, so it only works bilaterally with the Russians, undermining NATO's focus. Other Alliances Nordic Alliance is a fascinating thing, but there is no plan for V4 yet. Sure it'll have a battlegroup, but it'll be under the EU and not really going to flesh out without some "outside" help. V4 is overestimated in the US. There is no structure or command plan for it. It has been a painful process under the EU. Ukraine CzR is worried about Ukraine. It is so pro-Russian that there is a concern that it will militarize under the Moscow umbrella. Everyone in CE is concerned about this militarization. McFaul On McFaul: everyone in CE hates dealing with him. He is deluded. He believes that Russia can actually be pulled into being an ally with the US. McFaul wants to use Regan's gameplan. He constantly quotes Regan. On a sidenote, in McFaul's office there is a large (really large, like4x3) photo blown up above his desk of McFaul, Obama, Medvedev and Putin all sitting around the lunchtable smiling. However, the way I heard it was that McFaul was scared to death of Putin and stuttered the entire time. -- Lauren Goodrich Senior Eurasia Analyst STRATFOR T: 512.744.4311 F: 512.744.4334 lauren.goodrich@stratfor.com www.stratfor.com -- Lauren Goodrich Senior Eurasia Analyst STRATFOR T: 512.744.4311 F: 512.744.4334 lauren.goodrich@stratfor.com www.stratfor.com

It has been highly successful both technologically and strategically. They consider the Iskander the most effective and deadly nonstrategic (and even perhaps strategic) ballistic missile in existence. It is better than the Oka, which worried the US so much because of its accuracy. But the Iskander is considered so much better. INF wiped out the Oka, but the Iskander falls underneath the INF-for now. The Oka was/is to replace the Elbrus, Tochka and Tockka-U and now the Iskandar replaces them both, but with a new and more modern highly accurate propellant of a short-range ballistic missile with a range of 500 km. Its accuracy is now averaging of 10 meters or better. Its high velocity allows the missile to penetrate antimissile defenses. It can fly low and make evasive maneuvers in order to prevent interception by surface air missiles. It has conventional warhead options and more recently Russia has been toying with adding a nuclear warhead (but not officially). There are two types of Iskanders. The 9K723 Iskander-M that is now deployed in Russia and the 9K720 Iskander-E that is for export. The former's range is of 450-500 km and the latter is of 280 km because of the MTCR limits. [he went on about the delivery vehicles with a ton of technical jargon I am too tired to translate, but will if you're interested]. Each Iskander operational battalions has two TEL reload vehicles, two command and control vehicles and a crew. Russia has created missile brigades for each system-this is new for Russia. (Each brigade ideally-in the future-- will have 3 missile battalions, with 12 TELs and 12 transporter-load vehicles with a total of 48 ballistic missiles). The state tests for Iskander were done in 2004 and the batallions were formed and put into service by the end of 2007. Now the developers of the Iskander system are toying with further development of its warfighting capabilities, including the integration of the high-precision R-500 subsonic cruise missile. The R-500 is a more conventional version of the old Soviet 3M10 long-range cruise missile with a range of 2600 km, which was put on the Russian nuclear attack subs. These were eliminated also under INF-for now. This testing will be wrapped up by the end of 2009, since it has been successful thus far. After that it is a political decision in whether to put it into service, though 6 missles with the R-500s are already ready to be implemented. So at present everything that Russia has "implemented" falls under INF-but that seems to be a short time issue at present, which is why Russia is playing with the options. By the time 2015 rolls around, 60 Iskanders will have been produced and implemented. There are already 5 Iskander Missile Brigades in service and stationed across Russia. 26th - Luga, near St. Petersburg (in training and implementation stage) 92nd - in Kamenka, near Penza/Volga-Urals (done with training and implementation) 103rd - in Ulan-Ude, in Siberia (in training and implementation stage) 107th in Semistochni, near Birobidzhan/Far East (done with training and almost done with implementation) 114th in Znamensk, near Astrakhan in the Northern Caucasus. (in training and implementation stage) These are the brigades that did have the Tochka and Tochka-U. The 92nd and 107th were the first to get it and the 26th, 103rd and 114th are still currently being implemented and trained but should be completed by the end of 2011. Note that this does not include a Brigade in Kaliningrad, the two from Moscow district or the other Northern Caucasus brigades. These will have to wait until after the first 5 brigades are ready, trained and implemented. Also, the Kaliningrad decision is highly political, since it could reach into Germany or take out any American bmd system. If the R-500 system were ever implemented, it would be able to take out targets all across Europe with highly precise accuracy-again, a political decision. The 630th Iskander Brigade - which trains the other Brigades - took part in the Russia-Georgia war. [LG: he wouldn't go further into how the Iskander was or the other missiles the Brigade uses were used in the war..... but I had heard of Iskanders possibly used against Georgian tank battalions in Gori, but never heard confirmation of such.... This seems like partial confirmation to me]. -- Lauren Goodrich Director of Analysis Senior Eurasia Analyst STRATFOR T: 512.744.4311 F: 512.744.4334 lauren.goodrich@stratfor.com www.stratfor.com -- Lauren Goodrich Director of Analysis Senior Eurasia Analyst Stratfor T: 512.744.4311 F: 512.744.4334 lauren.goodrich@stratfor.com www.stratfor.com
