Moscow considers attempts to interfere in U.S. politics, including the upcoming elections of the president as a revenge for what the Kremlin sees as concerted efforts by the U.S. to influence elections in Russia, U.S. National Intelligence Chief James Clapper stated.

At the same time he called the Russian President Vladimir Putin “paranoid”, The Wall Street Journal reported.

“Of course they see a U.S. conspiracy behind every bush and ascribe far more impact than we’re actually guilty of, but that’s their mind-set,” Mr. Clapper noted.

 According to him, Russia believes that the U.S. is trying to influence political developments in Russia.

“So their natural response is to retaliate and do unto us as they think we’ve done unto them,” U.S. Intelligence Chief said.
