Kremlin leaders are convinced America is intent on regime change in Russia, a fear that is feeding rising tension and military competition between the former Cold War foes, the Pentagon's intelligence arm has assessed.
The unclassified report by the Defense Intelligence Agency, which will be publicly released later Wednesday, portrays Russia as increasingly wary of the United States. It cites Moscow's "deep and abiding distrust of U.S. efforts to promote democracy around the world and what it perceives as a U.S. campaign to impose a single set of global values."
"The Kremlin is convinced the United States is laying the groundwork for regime change in Russia, a conviction further reinforced by the events in Ukraine," the report says, referencing the claims by President Vladimir Putin's government that the U.S. engineered the popular uprising that ousted Ukraine's Russia-friendly president, Viktor Yanukovich, in 2014. Russia responded by annexing Ukraine's Crimea region and supporting pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.

But, But.....the USA is not doing anything to influence an election, they want the whole government changed to diplomacy. But we don't even have real diplomacy, now I am kind of jealous.

Do you mean a democracy?
And no, we ('murica) don't have a democracy, but a constitutional Republic.

Whooo. All that pizza I have been eating lately has messed up my thinking. Yes, democracy is what I meant. I'm going to have to go suck on a piece of thistle to help my mind deal with all the Dopamine from all those tyramines in the pizza.
