Smartphone users can do "very little" to stop security services getting "total control" over their devices, US whistleblower Edward Snowden tells the BBC in his first British TV interview.
The prosecution of pro Palestine speech in places like Germany isn’t a fiction. The support for neocolonialism in places like France, which to this day benefits from treating former colonies like shit is also not fiction. And most of the EU is conveniently supported US foreign policy until it came to bite them in the ass with Greenland (and still generally support the US everywhere else).
Some European countries are very nice to live in, but internationally they’re not the good guys. They supported bombing Yugoslavia and Libya and now they pretend to hold space for nuance in the illegal invasion of Iran. They also supported kidnapping Maduro in Venezuela and they clearly don’t give a shit about Cuba being subjected to a genocidal blockade.
This isn’t to say Russia is better, Russia is another country with an oligarchy and they tend to be the bad guys all the time as well, the difference is that Russia does good some of the time, even if for the wrong reasons, like recently violating the US blockade of Cuba to bring them oil. I doubt they do it because they care about Cuban people, but the result is still a good one for Cubans, and it’s a whole lot more than what the EU has ever done.
Agree with all that. I wasn’t saying because the Russians are obviously using Snowden as a pawn, that other countries are so much better. Every country has to dance between these 3 dangerous behemoths. 1 of the behemoths is also very good friends or practically ruling the largest military on the face of the earth.
You misspelled easy conduit to spread fear proppo to progressive westerners
