The hire in question is a globe-trotting 44 year-old American investment banker Carter Page, who has built a career on deals with Russia and its state-run gas company.

Page’s resume includes a stint in the U.S. Naval Academy, working in arms control at the Pentagon and a fellowship at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. Over his career, he’s earned three graduate degrees, including a PhD from SOAS University of London.

In 2000, Page moved into investment banking, getting a job at Merrill Lynch’s capital-markets group in London. After impressing a colleague with his relationship with Victor Pinchuk, a Ukrainian billionaire, Page was sent to help open the firm’s Moscow office in 2004.

One of the Ukraine’s richest men, Victor Pinchuk is the son-in-law of  former pro-Russian Ukrainian President and longtime Communist Party boss, Leonid Kuchma.

Donald Trump’s Anti-NATO Campaign Feeds “Red Russia”

By: Cliff Kincaid | America’s Survival

Analyst Toby Westerman examines Donald Trump’s anti-NATO views and how a Trump Administration would turn Europe over to Vladimir Putin. Westerman, author of “Lies, Terror, and the Rise of the Neo-Communist Empire: Origins and Directions,” says that Trump, a real estate mogul, doesn’t seem to understand that a Russian nuclear or conventional attack will occur on the territory of our allies. “They stand to lose more than money,” he says. “I’m ashamed that an American leader (Trump) would talk that way.” He adds, “Our allies are being surrounded. And Trump wants to cut and run.” Westerman and host Cliff Kincaid also discuss the “Red Jihad” attacks in Brussels, Belgium, where NATO is based. It looks like a Trump presidency would resemble the Barack Obama policy of surrendering to “Red Russia” and its client states, including Cuba. Westerman says that both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton seem to be “security risks.”
