How black swans are shaping planet panic
However, the author seems to be captive to the idea that only "the Russians" are behind the use of the internet to disrupt or manipulate US elections. My guess is that US intelligence agencies, political parties, various groups, and plenty of private citizens and hackers with their own agendas are hard at work exploiting these same vulnerabilities — and are happy to have their activities blamed on "the Russians." Incidentally, I don't see why "the Russians" or anyone else who wants to ruin America would bother with trying to influence the presidential election. With the apparent choices being Trump and Biden, the US is guaranteed to continue going down the tubes. -- RF
Americans are told every day that Russians are interfering in our politics. We’ve been interfering in Russia’s for a century.
Russians can be forgiven for believing that the United States wishes their country neither prosperity nor stability
