# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Crimea is 90% dependent on Russia economically and socially...
it would split from Ukr in a heartbeat.
Peter Zeihan wrote:
source is correct -- Crimea only became Ukrainian territory recently
hell, Ukraine didn't have any political identity separate from Russia
until very recently
but a 'legal' challenge wouldn't work -- founding charter of the CIS
(1993) recognized the soviet provincial boundaries
of course we've seen in the past month how little that actually
means....
George Friedman wrote:
Did you know the Crimea was Russian until Kruschev gave it to the
Ukrainian SSR in 1954 or 1956? The only legal deal between modern
Russia and Ukraine is a 1997 friendship Treaty and if it were
rescinded then the legal status of the Crimea could be challenged.
Fundementally, the Russians strongly feel that although the USSR broke
up in 1991, it was on the understanding of further closeness amongst
its core members and they feel betrayed this hasn't happened
(especially in Ukraine
So this is how the Russians would approach the Sevastapol issue.
