Russian Interference
David Shimer discusses how Russia's interference in the 2016 election went beyond manipulating public opinion and also targeted the actual infrastructure of the election system. The Obama administration chose to wait to retaliate until after the election, but there was debate among advisors about imposing countermeasures earlier. Shimer argues that the US should be helping its allies defend against digital warfare, especially election operations, to prevent further degradation of democracies.In this clip
