    It’s too bad most of the files he took out of the NSA will never see the light of day.

      Ah that’s unfortunate, I didn’t realize that. The prism stuff was a real bombshell tho, verified what everybody kind of knew, that the US doesn’t consider any country or people in the world worthy of respect.

        Depending on who you believe, the remaining documents aren’t all that interesting, only go into more detail on things we already know, or require much more investigation to flesh out, but I’d rather judge that for myself. The whole thing is really suspicious, what with a Silicon Valley billionaire having bought the documents and eventually cutting access to them. Pierre Omidyar is far too close to the “deep state” to trust this kind of information with.

        This gives a broad overview on the topic.

        I literally can’t tell which parts of this post are supposed to be ironic mocking lmao.

        America should start respecting other nations the way Russia does. I wouldn’t mind it being called the Gulf of Texas.

          One country ran abu ghraib, has > 800 external military bases, spies on the whole world, and has killed millions in its quest for empire. The other is Russia.

            Yeah, but have you considered, that America has Free Press? Which means everything they say about Russia is always true? And therefore Russians are evil orcs who have a million billion abu ghraibs, just secret hidden ones?

            Lmao, what a cherry-picked stat. Of course our allies want our military protection. Why would that be a bad thing? How many of your leaders of state have fallen out of windows recently? Why do yall not use handrails yet? Is that a western concept?

            Remind me again, what happened to Navalny? Was that just a little press dispute in Russia?

                Why does this justify executing him violently in prison and arresting people who attended his funeral? Where was the criminal prosecution for these crimes?

                Is that what you call justice? Any form of bad speech is met with execution?

                That is freedom?

                  You realize that claiming he was ‘violently executed’ is complete supposition on your part, right? There’s no non-circumstantial evidence to support that claim.

              We’re here for your protection.

              Navalny was a white nationalist / white supremacist, with little to no support (outside of western media).

                How many people attended his funeral? How many are being arrested for attending?

                  How many people attended his funeral?

                  For all of his fairy tales about support of the majority ~12k. And that’s fucking Moscow(population ~13million). For comparison ~50k attended funerals of Motorola and Givi in wartime Donetsk (population ~1 million). And those definitely didn’t have brainwashed libs traveling from afar to see the coffin of their dear Alexey Goebbels Jr. either. They sure did have the risk of an ukronazi terror bombing though.

                  How many are being arrested for attending?

                  Well, even your Ministry of Truth says that under a hundred, buddy. Wanna bet they were antagonizing the cops sent to provide security as a standard procedure for large gatherings?
