STRESS FOR TRUMP, QUANDARY FOR PUTIN

Threats, possibly arising within his own administration, to his reelection efforts, are putting much stress on Trump, in recent days,
Just when Trump has advised his Russian allies that they are clear to provide assistance, as needed, to his 2020 campaign efforts, an article appears in the NewYork Times that the U.S. has the capacity to retaliate on the Russian electricity grid.  Trump is infuriated by this undermining of his efforts to enlist Russian assistance and rushes to assure them that the U.S. has no such capability.

Now the Russians have to decide whether to believe Trump, the source of over 10,000 lies, or resistance to Trump within the U.S. bureaucracy.  Should Putin risk massive retaliation or let Trump take his chances in an election.
