POPSTrusted Russian Contact @The Brookings Institution In Washington D.C. Interestingly, one of Talbott's closest friends in the U.S. Senate, Republican Richard Lugar of Indiana, has emerged as a foreign policy adviser to leading Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama of Illinois. In 2005, Lugar and Obama made a visit to Russia to promote the scandal-ridden "Cooperative Threat Reduction Program (CTR)," also known as the Nunn-Lugar program for its original Senate sponsors. The CTR has poured about $6 billion into the former Soviet Union in foreign aid, supposedly for the purpose of preventing nuclear proliferation. In what could be the biggest State Department scandal since State Department official and United Nations founder Alger Hiss was exposed as a Soviet spy, a top Clinton State Department official and former Time magazine journalist has been identified as having been a trusted contact of the Russian intelligence service.

POPSWas Hillary Clinton Advisor Strobe Talbott Manipulated By Soviet Intelligence?
Talbot was perhaps the perfect target for this type of Russian intrigue, bringing to the State Department his considerably biased opposition to taking a hard line against the Soviets, "In his previous career as a journalist Talbott had been a critic of the Reagan-Bush policies of peace through strength that had precipitated the collapse of the Soviet Union." By way of temperament, not only was the Russophile Talbott personally hostile to militarily resisting Soviet tyranny, he is a long-time disciple of what is known as World Federalism, a philosophy which seeks to diminish national sovereignty and work towards world government, hence his support of the corrupt United Nations Like most key Clinton associates Talbott has not retired from the political game. He has run the liberal Brookings Institution since 2002 and now serves as an adviser to the Hillary Clinton campaign. Should she become president it's hard to imagine that Strobe Talbott will not once again loom.
