Russia

The [Russian] strategy [in 2016] was to kind of channel a narrative and then amplify it...And for that reason Twitter and also Facebook have been a lot better at identifying this kind of strategic manipulation. So when you have 10,000 automated accounts come online all at the same time, that’s pretty easy to pick up, just as a clear, clear example...

What we see is that Trump really gets put in a box on [U.S. policy on Russia]...it is a question of how [he] chooses people, and no one really knows the answer to this.

The reality is that Germany and Austria have left little choice to the United States in terms of stopping [Nord Stream 2], except with sanctions...I think it was the Obama administration that missed the opportunity to get this project stopped...When the annexation of Crimea happened, that was the key moment...When we implemented the sanctions [on Russia for its invasion of Crimea], that’s when we missed the opportunity.
