How do you read into that article that he handed a list of compromised systems to chinese authorities?

It’s good you wrote here then, because you are wrong. Snowden wasn’t being specific in what he grabbed, but he closely worked with Glenn Greenwald and The Guardian to publicize what he grabbed. There is a whole Wikipedia article of the release, which makes only one mention of irresponsible disclosure putting an agent at risk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowden_disclosures . Also Snowden himself was demanding agents not be exposed.

Now, who most likely got a lot of agents killed is the leaker in chief, Trump himself.

The Europeans bucking the US would require them to not be vassals. But right now we see Germany trying to placate Trump and while France does a lot of saber rattling, they also aren’t going specifically against the US. Only Spain is currently defying the US, but only insofar that they don’t allow the US to conduct its war of choice with Iran from spanish soil. They are not opposing the US on anything that isn’t as clear cut morally. That’s a lot of words for saying yes, unfortunately, Europe, and Germany above all, is too cowardly to defend what is right against the US. The only opposition allowed against the US is bureaucratic opposition. And even that is failing.

Thanks for the update. I didn’t know he had children, but I guess life moves on. I still think it is absolutely shameful that Europe wasn’t and isn’t able to allow Snowden to live in Europe.

I’d actually caution against buying suspiciously cheap drives. There has been an epidemic of scammers selling (heavily) used drives as new.

Or, and hear me out, Trump could stop his temper tantrum he calls a war and then the Strait of Hormuz would be unblocked. Don’t make Ukraine responsible for everyone else’s mistakes.

Cops dying is used as justification for cops to crack down harder. As long as the cop is not evil or corrupt, I don’t think them dying helps anyone.

I call myself an ally of Ukraine. Hit them more! Make them hurt!

Broke: Zelensky conspiracies
Woke: Obviously, Zelensky has spies in Putin’s government

The truth, which you would know if you ever got out of your information bubble, I recommend DylanBurnsTV on YouTube by the way, is that Putin doesn’t care how many thousands of peasants or foreigners tricked into the war he has to kill to grind forwards. It’s the literal definition of zerg tactics.

On the other hand you have the US, where dear old Donny has developed a taste for regime change after Venezuela went so smoothly for him, while the US population, even MAGAts, has no desire to be dragged into a war. A proper ground invasion will not be accepted, high loss of life will not be accepted. Iran only needs to be able to fire drones at ships or bases occasionally to keep the heat on, while Trump has declared Regime change and total surrender of Iran his goal. Donny is simply delusional about what he can achieve in Iran without facing wide-spread protest.

That said, it is true that Israel and the US have complete air control and have heavily degraded Iran’s capability at conventional warfare. Something the Russians have not and will not achieve.

And that is just the domain of war-making. When it comes to disinformation campaigns, the Russians are the clear winner. Have you not read the recently released news that Orban was live-texting Lavrow updates on EU discussions on how to support Ukraine? There is a mole in the EU and Nato thanks to, in no small part, the Russian disinformation campaigns.

Russia runs giant misinformation campaigns in order to destabilize western countries. And the election of Trump shows that they’re getting worth their money. And if noone stands to oppose Russia, Putin can do as he pleases. And right now, the most we get from western countries is a halfhearted attempt at supplying Ukraine. Russia is failing to take Ukraine, but they are still inflicting high losses on Ukrainian civilians. If Putin can flip western nations, he can grind away at Ukraine and then the baltics, without much opposition.

It’s not auto-fill that is insecure, it’s auto-fill without interaction.

Depends on the extension. If it auto-fills without interaction or caches credentials, it can be tricked into auto-filling credentials. Extensions like the one for KeePassXC only auto-fill after you clicked on the auto-fill icon.

The US can’t move air defense from Ukraine because the US has no air defense deployed in Ukraine. What the US did do is limit the amount of Patroit missiles Ukraine can buy to restock.

No, there is not an entire nazi battalion. There was a civil defense force where nazis dominated, but when that defense force got rolled into the army, the percentage of nazis in that battalion dropped significantly. And Ukraine is in no position to refuse able-bodied recruits, so they get to stay. Overall Ukraine only has a hand-full of nazis, no more than the average western country.

No, Zelensky is not a nazi.

Ukraine is benefitting by selling their drone interceptors and training. It’s their best avenue to secure funding for their defense against the ongoing invasion. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Ukraine has no choice but to side with the US, lest they get cut off from weapon imports and intelligence. If Europe wants Ukraine to not side with the US, they need to do more to support Ukraine. But we all know that Europe won’t meaningfully step up its support of Ukraine, so the only pathway left to Ukraine is to sell its interceptor tech to the orange in chief and the oil oligarchies.

I didn’t say that Ukraine would be a winner of this war, all I said was that if Iran were to attack Ukraine, Ukraine could replicate on iranian oil infrastructure what they are doing with russian oil infrastructure.
