Hey bud, both are possible.
Yes, but clearly only one fits in their world view.
Of course Russia and China are trying to interfere like crazy - they too want to get their desired outcomes and their governments are as sociopathic as the rest.
Yet, judging by the outcomes they're getting, they're minions at this next to insiders and even "allied" foreign powers like Israel.
Knowing that, ask yourself the question "why so much focus on messages that it's China and Russia damaging America when those countries aren't getting much from America compared to the likes of Israel or even more compare to very wealthy insiders?"
As I see it, it serves the dominating Propaganda forces to get the riff-raff distracted with the "usual suspects" (which have a long history as antagonists of America) and it's a very easy thing to do because it dovetails with the usual nationalistic tribalism ("Americans" v "foreignes") and America is insanelly big on Nationalism compared to all other countries but the overty Authoritarian ones.
So the Fascists in America are fed the "immigrants want your jobs" variant of "foreigners bad", whilst Liberals get fed the "foreign powers are making our country worse" version - it keeps both groups looking away from those actually pillaging their country and undermining whatever little Democracy the country still has.
You're find plenty on very wealthy and well connected insiders who gain from having the plebes - both those aligned with the Fascist Party and those aligned with the Neoliberal Party - focused on the "evil foreigners" rather than looking for blame in their own house.
There are several people in America with Means, Motive and Opportunity to push "foreigners are fucking up our country" narratives, both a Fascist-appealing version and a Liberal-appealing one.
