Referring to the Russian scientist Ivan Pavlov, who conditioned dogs to respond to a bell, Moore said a phone call from the Russian president was \u201cthe equivalent of Pavlov\u2019s tinkling bell inside the Kremlin, eliciting learned behavior to tell Putin whatever it is the system thinks he want to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore, who previously served as the U.K.\u2019s ambassador to Ankara, the Turkish capital, added that \u201cgreater powers than Russia have failed to subjugate weaker powers than Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not just Russians but \u201canyone, anywhere in the world\u201d would be able to use the portal to offer sensitive information on terrorism or \u201chostile intelligence activity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
