Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Russian activism and interference in other countries' domestic politics is something eastern Europeans have lived with for years, but most recently it has been on our doorstep, both south of the border and also very recently in Canada.
You wrote, in an article in The National Interest from July of 2016, that
...the survival of European institutions and U.S. internationalism depends most not on responding to Russian meddling, but on bolstering the viability of the values and systems under threat. Those who seek to preserve these must therefore strengthen, adapt, and rebuild them, so that they more effectively respond to today’s requirements.
That was written in July of 2016. Much has happened—a lot of water has gone under the bridge—between then and now. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on that situation, this same Russian interference, as it sits today.
