the Middle East have a very high potential of cascading further into the Indo-Pacific before inauguration. I think we're entering a period of maximum danger. We have a president who sadly has diminished cognitive capacity. We have ourselves at each other's throats. Then we're going to have a period maybe after the election, and I think this Russian report is a setup for post-election. Because the Russians, what they really want is most of us to doubt the result of the election. So I think that period between election and inauguration is very dangerous. But the next 60 days, to your point, right? I mean, part of the goal of Russian disinformation and autocratic disinformation is to divide our democracy, to make it dysfunctional. And that's why that division and dysfunction is something we need to confront. And the stakes of the election do determine the trajectory of the 21st century. It is about autocracy versus democracy at home and abroad. Okay. I hope we get asked those questions. (11/26)
