In Hungary, for example, which is an EU country and democracy (i.e. there are elections), investigative journalists have been targeted with Pegasus by the government.
- ErneX 3y agoOur Prime Minister (Spain) was a target and they supposedly extracted gigabytes from his phone. It was another country, we still don’t know which one it was but some think it was Morocco.

- megous 3y agoElections != democaracy. In Russia, there are also elections. So are they in Syria, and so on.
- moonchrome 3y agoSounds like you don't like the outcome and dismiss the possibility that it's the result of the system. From what I understand Orban has a decent approval rating in his country. For Putin it's hard to say since Russia is so foreign and separated, just like China - the only source of info is random crap by your preferred biased media source. But for Hungary - I've been there multiple times in the last few years, know a few people, and I have no trouble believing he won democratic elections.
- megous 3y agoI don't care about Hungary. Just saying that because some country has elections doesn't mean it's a democracy.

- bdhe 3y agoTo compare US elections to Russian or Syrian elections is both incredibly naive and dangerous. In one country, you have a leading political opponent having stolen classified docs treated with kid gloves; in the other, you have political opponents poisoned and literally blown out of the sky.

- hiatus 3y agoWho are you referring to?
- philistine 3y agoI think they somehow think Kennedy was against the deep state the way Trump is supposedly against the deep state.
