Assignment:
Through the many years of the Cold War, during which the Soviet Union was America's main nemesis, successful US efforts to destabilize and destroy that nation resulted in the global spreading of the massive organized crime phenomenon it suffered from. Then, as the US government and law enforcement was developing a sufficient foundation and tactics with which to combat this problem, its reallocation of focus and resources to Islamist, jihadist terrorism may have allowed Russian OC to grow and become more difficult to address. From the readings and other research you conduct, present your perspective on the degree to which US assets should or should not have been diverted away from Russian OC and its joint-criminal enterprises with other transnational crime groups. You must Include in your analysis and presentation what you feel American law enforcement and government should be doing today to address this phenomenon.
