The information services two The US is concerned about a “strong probability” of interference by Russia, China and Iran in the upcoming North American interim elections and accredited specialists in the cenário of a concerted action.
A possibility of a concerted action between these three countries [Rússia, China e Irão] cannot be excluded. We know, logo à departure, that we share a common interest: to defeat or what we consider to be the North American strategy to maintain the hegemony of control inherited from the 20th century”, said Lusa Herbert Lin, a researcher at the Hoover Institution think tank.
This analyst and author of the book “Cyberthreats and Nuclear Weapons” (Ciberameaças e Armas Nucleares, numa literal translation) reported that, in recent years, Moscovo and Pequim have exchanged information obtained about North American military programs, in particular about or nuclear program.
Herbert Lin, alias, considers that the recent declarations of “eternal friendship” between the two regimes is based, in part, on these common interests of trying to weaken the position of the United States in various points of the globe and that Iran, in perspective, is an ally “who cannot be underestimated”.
Recently, high-ranking officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and National Security Agency (NSA) information agencies revealed that they were in possession of data that predicted the continuation of the threat of external interference in the United States electoral system.
These agents underlined that Russia is interested in taking advantage of the next intercalary elections for the North American Congress, not the end of this year, to promote a disinformation campaign, with a view to obtaining benefits from the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
The director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, explained that Russia will not be subjected to this purpose of interference in the electoral process, through digital media, and it is also proven that Iran and China have plans to cause damage to North American democracy.
“We Russians want to divide us. Os chineses tentam gerir o nosso declinio. And we Iranians are trying to get rid of them”, synthesized the director of the information agency, showing serious concerns such as the level of threat that hangs over the next intercalary elections.
The director of the British external intelligence agency MI5, Ken McCallum, told you publicly, repeatedly, that his agents more than doubled the work of monitoring Chinese activity in the last three years.
At the beginning of July, the directors of the FBI and MI5 made a very rare joint public appearance, in London, to denounce the increase in the threat that China constituted for global security, referring to the risks of cyberespionage actions by China on as quais persistem dúvidas of collaboration with Russia.
The NSA and the FBI will reveal the same thing that they have “strong evidence” that the years of interference in the North American elections, which date back to 2016, when former President Donald Trump won, can be repeated in future election years, from logos to intercalary elections, and that Russia will not be the only actor.
During a conference on cybersecurity, in Nova Iorque, last week, Christopher Wray told me that in the 2020 presidential election, which gave victory to Joe Biden, I had evidence that Iran tried to influence voters in Florida to try to prevent Donald’s re-election Trump.
“We know that countries friendly to the United States are preparing to continue to interfere in elections. We do not trust that they are trying to reach an agreement with each other. But we know very little, or nothing, about your objective realities. Will it prevent the re-election of Biden (…)? Will it prevent or return to the power of the Republican Party? We don’t know”, said Lusa Kai Lin Tay, from the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
In a recent interview with The New York Times, Christopher Wray acknowledged that Russia and China have a history of trying to influence the North American electoral processes, more than that it is just a complex element involved in cyber espionage.
“These elections are just a piece of a much larger mosaic for them,” admitted the director of the FBI, referring to the Russian and Chinese strategy.
On the other hand, the North American ‘media’ have cited sources from information agencies that are concerned with the “high probability” of the Russian President, Vladimir Putim, using his panoply of cyber-attack and disinformation strategies in the upcoming elections. intercalary two United States, with propaganda purposes.
According to these sources, Putin wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to spread false information about the strategy of Washington and Brussels to import sanctions to Moscow, warning you that these punitive measures are going to provoke the North American and European economies.
“Putin is going to do everything to put doubts in the heads of two voters about the moral necessity and economic cost of helping Ukraine,” commented Stephen Hanson, vice-chancellor of the University of Virginia, quoted by Newsweek magazine.
Some security specialists admit that the Russian President may once again use his hacking mercenaries to cause disturbances in the electoral process at the end of this year, in order to bolster confidence in the integrity of the political process in the United States, in retaliation for his support à Ukraine and a new demonstration of its strength in this table of geopolitics.
