Well, the CIA Director gave a good interview with the BBC, where he talked about everything from President Trump to spying. It is unfortunate that the BBC decided to break it up in little pieces to post on their web news site. It loses a lot when viewed like that, but it gives the BBC many more hits on its distribution channels.
The first segment talks about Russia and his view that the Russians will be interfering with the mid-term U.S. elections. He says, rightly, that the Russians have been doing this for a long time, and there is no reason to think they will stop. He did not say what the U.S. might do to stop them, or make that job harder, but you can bet he would get a follow-on question about that. None came. He wouldn’t have answered it anyway, but I expected it to be asked.
We can’t let this go on. In a previous post, I suggested we show Mr. Putin a little of his own during their national election in March. That is not far away. Closer to November, we might see some signs of whether the Russians can keep their hands to themselves. Before we breathe easier, he says in that interview that China carries a greater threat to us than Russia.
