In the call, which was anonymously posted on YouTube, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to the Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt lay out their desired outcome for the crisis in Ukraine and accuse the European Union of not doing enough. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Thursday that the Russians tweeted out a link to the leaked recording, suggesting they were involved.
"The video was first noted and tweeted out by the Russian government," Carney said. "I think it says something about Russia's role."
Actually it says more about why the rest of the world rightly hold the USSA government with great disdain. Especially this regime and it's collection of @ssholes.
ReplyDeleteWhat? They're irritated about a leak. It's not like they were doing anything wrong so what do they have to worry?
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's Putin's way of letting the NSA know that other folks monitor the conversations of world "leaders", or maybe it's a salvo in the NSA's war with the CIA and State (with the side benefit of Russian misdirection), but whatever the source, I wholeheartedly agree with Nuland's sentiment--and apply it unequivocally to the USG too.

DeleteSnowden Interview on German Television
To this in the interview Snowden replies, "It’s interesting because he mentions three felonies. What he doesn’t say is that the crimes that he’s charged me with are crimes that don’t allow me to make my case; they don’t allow me to defend myself in an open court to the public and convince a jury that what I did was to their benefit.
The Espionage Act … was never intended to prosecute journalistic sources, people who are informing the newspapers about information that is in the public interest. It was intended for people who are selling documents in secret to foreign governments, who are bombing bridges, who are sabotaging communications, not for people who are serving the public good. So it’s,
I would say illustrative, that the president would choose to say that someone should face the music when he knows that the music is a show trial."

Surely U.S. diplomats and politicians don't mind their phone calls being monitored, do they?
ReplyDeleteAnd so what if Russia is involved? Certainly the U.S. has no problem with another country sticking its nose in THEIR business for a change, do they?
I love it. Just keep on going exposing these politicians for the underhanded, unreliable scum they are.
Assange, Manning, Snowden and now even Russia are ripping the clothes off the emperor.
What you talking about? The emperor has no clothes, dude,
