With the slight problem that there are no Human Rights in Russia and people like Snowden or even Assange then have to be seen as stooges of the Russian government/intelligence agencies.
Because, basically, there is no way they can say no if the Russian intelligence really wants them to do something.
- tremon 8y agoThere is no Human Rights, capital or otherwise, in the USA either. Do you think Manning got a fair trial? Do you think the people in Gitmo had rights?
- bayesian_horse 8y agoI do believe Manning got a fair trial. She also got all the medical help she needed for her gender transition. She did violate the law, and quite severely. She also put American soldiers at risk. And she got a pardon. Overall, it didn't go that bad, did it? So yes, I do believe the United States is a lot better regarding Human Rights. Even in Guantanamo bay the prisoners are kept in relatively Human conditions.
