Strobe Talbott
Strobe Talbott (born 1946) is an American foreign policy analyst, former journalist with Time magazine, and a diplomat who worked in the State Department from 1994 to 2001.
Talbott was Bill Clinton's roommate at Oxford University in 1969-70. Talbot, who was fluent in Russian, along with Clinton were recruited to work for the CIA at this same time. Talbott translated Nikita Khruschev's memoirs which had been smuggled out of the Soviet Union and published in the West by CIA.[1] However, Lt. Col. Tom McKinley indicated in The Clinton Chronicles that Talbott had participated in anti-American protests and had his loyalties to the Soviets, even spending many years there.[2]
Multiple award winning journalist Seymour Hersh blames Talbott as the driving force in the Clinton administration for violating the terms of the peace agreement that ended the Cold War not to expand NATO beyond the Oder-Niese Line.[3]
