"Under Trump, this was impossible": the US press comment on a telephone conversation between the President of the Russian Federation and the Director of the CIA

71

It was confirmed that the CIA director spoke not only with the heads of the Russian special services, including the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, but also with the Russian president. The report notes that Vladimir Putin and William Burns held telephone conversations, in which there were several topics for discussion.

It turns out that cybersecurity issues were discussed with the CIA director. Earlier, we will remind, it was reported that Russia and the United States restored contacts along this line. Moreover, this happened after an almost 8-year break, when the American side refused to interact with Moscow, preferring to accuse Russia of allegedly supporting hackers. Moreover, according to the statements of the American side, Russian hackers allegedly could even influence the US election system.



Experts note that the resumption of interaction between the special services of the two states in terms of countering the activity of cybercrime is the most important component. She says that the same USA is interested in such cooperation, and nevertheless found the strength and ability to move from baseless accusations to pragmatic contacts. How strong they will turn out to be is a separate question.

Dmitry Peskov confirmed the fact of telephone conversations between President Putin and the CIA director and pointed out that there were other topics for discussion. Among other things, the crisis of the diplomatic presence was discussed. We are talking about the practice of expelling diplomats, as well as about the illegal occupation of diplomatic buildings. This practice was started by the American side in due time.

According to Peskov, Putin and Burns also discussed "issues related to regional conflicts."

As they write in the American conservative press, if the head of the American intelligence service during Trump's presidency spoke with Vladimir Putin, he would instantly be announced in "leaking secret information to the Kremlin."

Commentary in the American Conservative Press:

But under Trump, this was impossible. Then the director of the CIA would be immediately accused of working for the Kremlin by order of the 45th president. Moreover, those who initiate these contacts today would do it.

          Western media write that Biden sent the CIA director to Moscow to warn the Russian Federation about the buildup of troops near the Ukrainian border and to try to find out the reasons for this. Well, that means the answer is - Putin just wanted to discuss diplomatic dachas with him.

          hi Hello Victor
          Colleagues, here it is more interested in who reported to whom during the call.
          I believe that it is already useless for Biden to say something serious .. He will not understand the depth of the material .. or he will fall asleep "along the way."

            It is worth taking a closer look at them ... and in general, if Black drops White, LATINOS will win !!!

    According to Peskov, Putin and Burns also discussed "issues related to regional conflicts"

    Burns flew to Moscow on behalf of Biden. I met with the Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service Naryshkin, and with the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Patrushev. Then he talked on the phone with Putin. After all this, Burns called Kiev, and the Donbass became "quieter". Let's see what will happen next.

    But under Trump, this was impossible.
    Of course impossible. Trump is still being hacked with a false dossier about his ties to Russia during the campaign. And under the democrats it is possible, because Americans realized that without our country, the issues of combating cybercrime cannot be resolved. And when it is profitable for the Americans, they make contact even with the declared enemy. "What is allowed to Jupiter is not allowed to a bull." It is not necessary to explain who in this case is who.

He worked at one time under the leadership, of course, not his grandfather-marasmatian-with one-foot-in-the-world, but he was a major, which is not much better, and the heads of departments had to work directly with someone else's leadership, since "the director is in the club all night spent, and is now ill.

    I will allow myself to remind some commentators that until recently they were flirting about whether the parties discussed Ukraine or not. This was officially confirmed, from which fresh information naturally follows about the relative stabilization of the situation in the Donbas and the increase in the flow of Russian gas through Ukraine. When it comes to cybersecurity, it shouldn't be wishful thinking (as usual). The Americans have repeatedly accused our side of cyberattacks and threatened with serious retaliatory measures, regardless of who exactly is to blame, incl. if our state is not able to cope with the so-called. hackers. It is no coincidence that the citizens of the Russian Federation are periodically detained in different countries and are brought to criminal responsibility by the Americans. It looks like we have to negotiate ...

    The fact that CNN presented Burns' visit to Moscow as a "warning", that is, a threat to Russia (which, as everyone knows, is absolutely unacceptable in relations with Russia), may be a drain of Biden's opponents in the behind-the-scenes struggle for the US course. After this, it will be difficult for Russia to make concessions, and again Belarus refuses to sell electricity to Ukraine. She refused - allowed - now she refused again ... so that Burns would go to Russia to threaten it is impossible to imagine, for this it is pointless to fly there (everyone knows that Russia reacts harshly to threats), it would be enough to publicly express this. Not a fact, but it may be against the policy of freezing tensions between the United States and Russia that certain forces are acting in the United States itself. Perhaps, of course, we agreed in this way to calm down all opponents of rapprochement in the United States, but it sounded publicly and the whole world is watching the reaction of Moscow ... and now the super spy was again denied a trip to his homeland (he just did not understand, writing petitions is not an option, he must go through a spiritual rebirth and become a zone watcher).

    Excuse me, but who is the president of the CIA to conduct direct negotiations with the president of another country? Even in the relationship of two offices, only another director can write to the director. Within the United States, a CIA director is simply an official in charge of one of the government services. If the director of the CIA has something to say to the president of the Russian Federation, then he probably should turn to his superiors, which already have access to diplomatic channels of communication.

    Or, through the same channels, an agreement was previously reached on who and when will be able to call Putin, and all the powers of this person have been agreed upon in advance. True, for such situations there are ambassadors whose main task is to convey something "their king and the king of the country of residence."
