Did Russia influence American election for Trump to win?
Us Intelligence agencies believe that it was Russia who hacked the DNC emails and released them through Wikileaks. The emails contained a lot of information which were just contrary to what Hillary and DNC pretended to be in the public eye. This reinforced the idea that Hillary is a “crooked woman”. The term was coined by Trump.The leaked emails were indeed genuine. Hillary or DNC could not deny any of them.The US agencies are unhappy that Russia might have helped in putting those before public. All Russia might have done is showing the true colors of Hillary and DNC.Did Russia hacked the emails? We won’t know for sure.Were the released emails genuine? yes.Did the released emails affected the outcome of the election? yes, Since Trump won the swing states with a thin margin, people think that the emails might have affected the outcome of the election.Is this unethical? immoral? No. After knowing about the emails if somebody switched their vote from Hillary to Trump then it was an informed (actually better informed!) decision. Their choice has to be respected.Should America punish Russia for this act? For telling the truth! Assange, Snowden and now an Entire country. When US will stop.
Why hasn’t president Trump pardoned Edward Snowden?
Trump has turned out to be a much more militaristic, war mongering neocon than we ever thought when he was running! His right wing imperialistic true nature will stop him from pardoning Snowden. His aggression will also probably be the underpinning of his presidency. Remember he ran as a republican dove and once elected he turned out to be a war loving nasty!Tulsi Gabbard is an exceptional democratic candidate, she is the REAL THING! Someone that served on the front lines and now has the ability to speak about war and peace. Remember the last four Presidents all figured out how never to serve in our Military, yet they are to lead our Military as the topmost general!How insane are we, how stupidly dysfunctional are we? How about a logical constitutional amendment that requires two years minimum military service to be able to run for President. Logical right, you don’t want a guy that never drove a car to be the driver of your taxi right?All the logic will never fix a dysfunctional government, a dysfunctional country and a dysfunctional form of government. Sad, so sad!
What is going to happen to Edward Snowden after 2020, and why is Russia providing asylum? Can Russia use him against the USA or are they already using him?
Let's start on why Russia is providing asylum.Using Putin's words."Remember that I was in intelligence too, our American colleagues acted unprofessional.[Snowden] arrived at our transit zone and later it was explained that no one wanted him ... And they [the Americans] scared everyone, and he ended up in our transit zone. What were we supposed to do? Russia is not the type of country that gives up fighters for human rights,""Why did [the Americans] scare the whole world? If they can force planes down with presidents on board, then they could have forced down anything with Mr. Snowden on board anywhere,"By giving Snowden political asylum, he had won the hearts of thousands that support Snowden. All across the globe. At home, he had shown the Russians that unlike the rest of the world. The U.S. can not dictate to them. Hence boosting their national pride.Can Russia use him against the USA? They already did. Or rather the U.S. did it to themselves and Russia benefited. Snowden leaked how the U.S. were spying and oppressing the constitutional right of the American. By going after him the way they did, painted them like what Snowden claimed.Russia painted itself as a defender of civil rights as well as a power that can not be bullied. Like Snowden or not, that does not stop him been very popular.Will Russia use him? Nope, he does not have anything they need. All the damaging material are been released without help of Russia. I do not think he had the kind of sensitive material that Russians need.I like Putin's joke on that matter when asked what will become of Snowden.“One would think that after all we did for him, he would give us something juicy. That bandit! not even a cucumber from him”What would become of him after 2020?Nothing. He had made a life for himself in Russia. Everyday he is there, it will paint Russia in a good light. So unless he leaves himself, no one will kick him out.Edit: here is the video of Putin's comment. With subtitles
