The
US is surely not the only aggressive nation on planet earth. I would put, without a
doubt, Russia into that illustrious group and Putin one of the worlds
most belligerent and corrupt authoritarian dictators at the helm.
Assange played footsie with Russia and Putin. I submit he was no choir boy.
Moreover, from accounts of those who worked with Assange he was a beast
and allegedly no joy for whom to work.
Assange
I suspect, but have no
evidence of this, was paid by Russia and had a hand in the electoral
2016
cabal. I am politically left of center BUT that does not mean I am
willing to look the other way when it comes to nation states whose
behavior is egregiously immoral and people like Assange do not do that
or Snowden for that matter takes cover in Russia. In my opinion, it is a
world where the lesser of evils must be taken into account. Putin and
his oligarchic friends kill their opposition with mind numbing cruelty
and
invade neighboring nations to rule with an iron fist. I would like
someone like Glenn Greenwald or Noam Chomsky for once to be an equal
opportunity employer and call out a nation like Russia or Saudi Arabia
and many more whose behavior is worthy of scorn! Going on RT (Russia
TV) and proclaiming Assange's innocence is laughable and more laughable
is Putin proclaiming Assange's capture was a violation of freedom of the
press. Hah! Putin is no civil libertarian. Go there, criticize Putin,
and see which area of Siberia you end up or worse and most probably so
you will end up dead killed in Saudia Arabian brutal form.
I say follow the
money.
Assange stole classified information and it has been alleged got paid mucho
dolares to
release it and worse played into Trump's hands. Oh how Trump loved
Wikileaks he said 160 times. That alone puts Assange in the unethical
dumpster!
Yes,
it is a cruel world and a spy vs. spy world. The US must play that
game too and be protective of itself to survive. I'll take the US
any day over so many others most especially Russia but I want to take it
WITHOUT the democracy destroying Trump!
