CIA Russia Hand John Sipher discusses spying and sabotage ops against Vladimir Putin
Israelis are not the only civilians hearing air raid sirens. They’re heard daily in Ukraine’s cities as well. Both nations are carrying the battle to their adversaries. For Israel, it’s Hamas and other Islamist terrorists, who have the backing of Iran, and by proxy, Russia. Ukraine is going right to the source.
Ukraine’s intelligence and special ops agencies have grown increasingly bold in taking the war to Russia itself, with assassinations, sabotage, and drone attacks well inside their adversary’s territory—even Moscow—with, according to a recent report in The Washington Post, the somewhat jittery support of CIA bosses.
In light of all that, we thought it was time to catch up on intelligence ops related to Ukraine and Russia—and Iran and Israel, as Gaza burns. And to that end, we’ve invited back our old friend John Sipher, a former top Russia hand at the CIA.

Target Moscow
I am New to SPYTALK and found this Podcast interesting since it is from
as Mr. Stein states "My Go To Russian Expert" ; Mr. Sipher found at
https://www.thecipherbrief.com/experts/john-sipher and I quote>
"John Sipher retired in 2014 after a 28-year career in the CIA’s National Clandestine Service, which included serving in Moscow and running the CIA’s Russia operations."
I wonder and just ask as a simple question how much experience Mr. Stein or Mr. Sipher
have of Russia, that is living in Russia and conversing with Russians on a regular
day to day basis? It seems that Mr. Sipher's experience is soley based on "Operations"
against Russia and Russian's. Good to a point but still as the saying goes ............
