Point this guy

  With the gap of 7 months? Russia and Turkey at the point of the disclosures were in a rapprochement: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/turkey/2016-07-20/russia-and-turkeys-rapprochement https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/turkey/2016-07-20/ru... The result of the disclosures was a weakening of that warming relationship, with Turkey pivoting again in its foreign policy - at least for some short time. What else has Wikileaks reported on? The Italian "Hacking Team" - https://wikileaks.org/hackingteam/emails/ https://wikileaks.org/hackingteam/emails/ Saudi Arabian Embassy Cables - https://wikileaks.org/saudi-cables https://wikileaks.org/saudi-cables Pirate Bay Court Documents - https://wikileaks.org/gottfrid-docs https://wikileaks.org/gottfrid-docs Cables from the Assad administration in Syria - https://search.wikileaks.org/syria-files/ https://search.wikileaks.org/syria-files/ Documents from inside Scientology - https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Scientology https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Scientology Swiss Banking Tax Offshore Scandals - https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Bank_Julius_Baer https://wikileaks.org/wiki/Bank_Julius_Baer His point isn't very compelling for the following reason: instead of taking my argument ("Wikileaks publishes on far more than the US") he took an anecdote decorating my argument ("for example Turkey") and tried to argue the anecdote (poorly). I'll give him an upvote. Not because I think his argument is really good. But because he contributes to the conversation.
