This administration is a shame upon the country.
This absolute imbecilic Russian operative has been using a single-word password, "shraddha" for her devices for years... And now Russia has their spy in the central seat overseeing all intelligence assets in the USA. Fucking absurd.
As in "Oh shit, they found out"?
Bro your own administration is undermining itself. Thats what happens when you stack the deck with rapists, thieves and drug addicts.
We are on fire and the ones charged with extinguishing it are too busy blaming the people outside yelling "FIRE!"
How the fuck are you supposed to counter-spy against a regime this socially impaired and stupid? Do you have to run your op as a Xtian vegetable cartoon or do you just hang out with them while they're executing dogs in the gravel pit?
Reminds me of the old quote
A serious problem in planning against American doctrine is that the Americans do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligation to follow their doctrine.
But even stupider
Iron Sky is some real life wkuk history channel type bullshit that's happening right now but it's the Uwe Boll version.
The US is spying on every country they can.
I mean yes, but this isn't the regular espionage you'd expect. This is trying to build a casus beli
Sometimes if they're feeling like they want to follow the laws of the land and spy on themselves, they ask other aligned countries to spy on them in exchange for the US spying on them and then they exchange details.
A lot of countries do.
It's basic Sun Tzu: know your enemy, and your friends.
That means you have no friends
Friends don't spy on friends. Friends respect their friend's right to privacy
To stretch a metaphor: Spying on friendly nations is assumed by everyone, and is a huge part of why we're still friends. If you can be sure your friends are in fact your friends, doesn't that mean your friendship will be stronger? Especially if your friends have nuclear weapons.
Nope
A wittier retort I've never seen.
And I'd bet they're doing the same thing to Canada.
We don't even have to install stingrays on our embassies in Canada.
Our own cell towers on our border collect an enormous amount of intel.
Canadians know they are for sure. Have been for some time.
Greenlanders: you should really invite a division or 5 of Danish forces (maybe a joint EU mission? Get France and Germany and Poland and Sweden in there, and tell the UK they can come too) for extended exercise and potentially semi-permanent basing arrangements.
As an American: our government is clearly becoming an existential threat to you. I hate it. I am begging you to act accordingly.
As a non-American: your government is clearly becoming an existential threat to us. We hate it. I am begging you to act accordingly.
Fair point, but in a strategic sense, Europe cannot afford to be sitting on their laurels in the face of this either
Would that we could. "We the People" are the enemy of the State and they treat us accordingly. Of course, the easiest type of enemy to defeat is one that does not know they are your enemy, and they spent billions of dollars over decades to ruin our education systems and shove propaganda in our faces to ensure that we never find out that we were their enemy all along.
Canadian here. We're in. Fuck em.
Bring Finland too; I hear they like to do spooky snow things
