The poo poo Snowden whistle blew on wasn’t even surprising, anyone even remotely associated with actual infosec was completely unsurprised by the reveals, that’s why Snowden himself was the topic of conversation more than his leaks.

He should’ve been protected by federal law and it’s a continuing miscarriage of justice that he wasn’t and isn’t. But also he was clearly playing for his own fame and glory so also lol.

He did a good thing for the American public, but I also don’t have any sympathy for him. This is one situation where a system of hosed up things ended up delivering a vague balance of cosmic justice. It was never about the action, it was about how great it made him. Pride, goeth, fall, etc.

On a related note, lol putin

reading and talking with people about this was/military action really feels like so many people live in a totally different world.

Like the president of Ukraine is a jew, but is also a nazi, and russia was justified to invade because of nazi's.....and the biolabs.....and Ukraine was totally gonna join NATO....even though it legally couldnt.....why is the west bullying Russia with those biolabs. Also russia is totally cranking out shells and is totally gonna win this war because putin has a plan....to go to south africa.

The thing I remember when Russia did the military exercise and invaded the state department offered to help zilinski flee the country. Instead he stayed the russia's ran out of gas. And it seemed like thats when the support Ukraine poo poo happened, I had the feeling since nothing was done in 2014, nothing would have been done if russia had done the regime change in 5 days.

Honestly I do not fault the man for not wanting to rot in jail for decades like the US would subject him to for exposing their dirty laundry, and I also do not fault the man who now has a wife and 2 young children in Russia at the mercy of the Russian government, for retweeting out whatever the men in ill-fitting suits from the FSB/whatever put in front of him.

Easy to excoriate the man from behind your screen in safety, but it's not so simple when you have to worry about the prison rape gang country going after your kids.

Don't get me wrong what he posts is drivel, just the same as the other RU state-aligned info-space actors.

well yeah spending a decade or two in jail is no fun but neither is having you and your family's safety under implied or direct threat unless you say what the authoritarian empire wants you to. I don't exactly fault those choices either but I think people are saying there's a good chance he'd be substantially better off now if he hadn't made them based on the short term results.

Then again if he had stayed here maybe the MAGA speaking and book circuit would be an irresistible money and fame draw so maybe I'm happy with how things turned out after all.

Watching the Russian state narrative lurch from side to side has been entertaining but I must say the best was the most recent hat-trick going from:

"Wagner has nothing to do with the Russian state"

to

"Wagner is funded by the Russian state"

to

"Wagner does not exist because PMCs are illegal in Russia"

"Putin is the person who decides on who leads the Wagner and its his consent the person doing the actual leader work needs", although it was told in the local news that the remaining Wagner commanders didn't agree with Putin on the new leader yet.

Selanne is already in as he is a Finn, and also expressing some really, lets say, limited intelligence opinions on Twitter from time to time. Not a tankie or alt-right, just plain simplistic, populist and stupid.

You'd think that Teemu Selänne, being basically a living legend in Finland building his post-hockey investment portfolio and career would hire some publicist to run his social media account. Or at least get a media degree student to do that as an internship position.

On a few telegram channels so not sure of their provenance but the Russian VDV (reportedly) publicly expressed that if their commander is removed, it will be a fatal mistake for, presumably, the MOD.

“We, the paratroopers, warn that we will not tolerate such actions in relation to General Teplinsky. And in the event of the slightest threat to his life and freedom, we will stand as a wall to protect the honor and dignity of our commander. We are very determined. Up to the point that we will withdraw from our positions and go to the rescue of our Bata. You, those who sit in the offices! The landing party does not abandon its own! Do not make fatal mistakes"
