Question 5 • Fall 24 American Government/Civics IC

What is one reason the United States considers Russia an adversary?

Answer
A
Russia started World War II.
B
Russia improved its pandemic response.
C
Russia reduced its nuclear weapons.
D
Russia targeted US citizens in cyberspace.

Explanation

The United States considers Russia an adversary in part because Russia has conducted cyberattacks and other cyber operations that target US government agencies, businesses, and citizens. The other choices do not give a reason for that view: Russia did not start World War II, and improving pandemic response or reducing nuclear weapons would not be hostile actions.
