Putin's Playbook: Russia's Secret Plan to Defeat America

The author joined DIA two years after I retired from that agency. What I found most interesting about her book is how she describes the culture of DIA. The boneheaded bureaucracy, myopia, back stabbing, credit stealing, cronyism and so forth are a real and apparently none of it has changed since I was there. But then, that's bureaucracy for you. I eventually went to NCTC and it was even worse there. As for the Russian threat, this book does a great service in waking the reader up to the reality of what is happening to America. Of course, much of it is of Russian origin (I'm convinced and have made the case that Obama is a mole who was recruited by the KGB and who is now running the Biden administration), but a lot of it is like a virus. Introduce destructive ideas and they spread, especially if they feed off of damaged egos who want to virtue signal. The book goes into great detail on Russian doctrine and how they plan to take us down from within and, if necessary, in a war. It should be required reading in Congress, even though the Marxist Progressive Caucus would probably say it's a Republican hoax. If this country is going to be saved, it will take information like that in this book to be widespread. Some day I'd like to sit down with the author and trade horror stories of life at DIA. Might be fun.

Ms. Koffler did a fantastic job of writing this book - the structure that she weaved throughout the book is very skillful. It's not a book about Putin's ambition only, she started it by narrating how Putin intended to rig the 2016 US Presidential election......However, I do not want to spoil too many details here. As you can see from the attached pic of "Redacted information," then you will get the drift that this is going to be a page-turner. One more thing, as a first-time author, Ms. Koffler wrote this book in layman terms instead of being politically heavy

This book puts you in the briefing room as it shares the perspective and stories of someone whose job it was to analyze Russian communications and personnel and share it to the highest level of the government. You can see in the picture I shared that it has occasional redactions from the intelligence community for information too fresh or sensitive. This is an amazing book. Rebekah Koffler has some really interesting stories to tell and she hasn’t pulled any punches.

Meticulously researched and analyzed, this book is a must read to understand the U.S. - Russia relations, and how to de-escalate current frightening situation between the two great countries.

Anyone with half a mind should immediately see through this work of propaganda. Get real, lady.
