And the US is better than Russia how then?
Let's turn it around (with a real example): A US diplomats wife ran someone down in the UK while drunk driving and then ran home to the US. The US refuse to let justice run its course. Should everyone else then be just as dirty as the US and let every criminal do whatever they want and just laugh at the US when they want justice?
It's a very steep and slippery slope. One cannot both be angry that Russia doesn't jump when we say jump and then not jump ourselves when it is the other way around.
- bsder 5y agoThere are degrees. When someone is shooting at you and won't stop, eventually you have to shoot back. And the fact that you have to choose an individual case where the US is wrong (and that it is exceptional) and compare it to entities blackmailing dozens to hundreds of people who will wind up with some of them dead and who have done it repeatedly demonstrates that. Or perhaps we can talk about the beatings at the Erdogan protests? Back to internet, even with the best security, how many entities could really stand up to a concerted attack? What everybody asking for OpSec that can stand up to this is really asking for is complete loss of sharing and trust in any group entity. I'm not sure people really grasp that solid security implies lack of sharing. Do you really want HR to require an ID with every interaction? Do you really want the line slowdown while every Karen fishes out her Target fob from her purse before she can check out? At base, you need at least a minimum level of trust between entities to operate. If someone is preventing even that, you will eventually have to do something drastic to them.
