By John McLaughlin

John McLaughlin is the Distinguished Practitioner in Residence at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).  He served as both Acting Director and Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. McLaughlin served as a U.S. Army Officer in the 1960s, with service in Vietnam.

The Cipher Brief sat down with former Acting CIA Director John McLaughlin earlier in the year to discuss the Russian security threat.  McLaughlin assessed that near-term improvements in US-Russia relations are unliklely.
