In this episode, I discuss the recent accusation by the Biden administration that Putin and the Russians are interfering in the 2024 US elections. I provide analysis on the situation.

I argue that the intelligence community's assessment is incorrect and that the Russians do not prefer Trump as president.

I explain that the Russian doctrine of election sabotage targets both Democrats and Republicans to sow doubt in the integrity of US elections and foment social unrest.

I suggest that the intelligence community either doesn't understand or doesn't want to understand this motive.
