Iran doesn’t want a Trump Admin so does it make sense for them to target Conservative leaning battleground states two weeks out with propaganda threats that would invigorate both Trump and Biden supporters. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not convinced that those claiming to be undecided are actually undecided. Wouldn’t you target those in Blue and Purple states that are leaning towards Biden with these threats? Is Iranian intelligence that stupid?

I cannot really find a foreign country that I believe would want President Trump to win. People can argue he has financial interests in Moscow but when it comes to military dominance, Trump is not going to let Putin win.

SPC Erich Guenther They also mentioned how what Russia is doing is far worse but the focus by DNI was on Iran.

MAJ Byron Oyler - What I think is a humorous side to all of this is neither Russia nor Iran really has a clue about how Democracy works. Putin has no clue and I think that is why they fail so miserably at having any effect over here. It is entertaining to watch U.S. Politicians get so animated about it but I don't think Russia or Iran has the intellectual capability to really influence an election over here or spend their money well in one.

SPC Erich Guenther You’re underestimating Putin. He knows exactly how a democracy works and how you can manipulate it to make it look like people have freedom amidst all the oligarch corruption. Iran also understands democracy and the historians remember a US CIA supported coup of a democratically elected regime. It’s not a question of do they know what a functioning democracy is. It’s a question of how much more corruption and elitist rules will the people continue to allow from their government under the false perception elected officials serve them and their democracy/republic. Or have we forgotten how Russia and Iran still have elections feigning to be a democracy or republic.
