That A is innocent?

That A is innocent?
Why?You should watch European media more
Does watching Germans complain illuminate anything significant?

Validity is measured by plausibility and evidence.

It seems that you've a point to make,
but strange hypotheticals don't do it.
So that's a question I won't waste time
answering.
But Jack The Ripper was clearly not Chinese.
The NSA, and then the U.S. Justice Department did that convincing, not so much the Russians.
Anybody who thinks that established governments primarily serve their citizenry is deluded. Governments, as all human bureaucratic organizations, eventually take on a life of their own, separate from “the people”, and end up serving themselves first and foremost, especially the imperatives to perpetuate and to increase power. This is Organizational Behavior 101. A given government will serve a citizen when he facilitates the fulfillment of those imperatives, and destroy a citizen when he impedes it. Snowden ran into the arms of Russia because he knew that he was about to be destroyed by his government otherwise.

Tsk, tsk. Unlike here in the Anglosphere, where people have it good and are deathly afraid of rocking the boat too much, the citizenries of many countries (and this is especially true of countries in the Mediterranean Basin) tend to “go to the political poles”, fostering robust communist, anarchist, and nationalist parties. This is foreign in many ways to us here in America, where a third party couldn’t get off the ground if it was placed into a trebuchet. I think that the opinions of Italians mentioned by @Estro Felino probably reflects that political milieu.

Hunter S. Thompson eliminated himself. The "deep state" had nothing to do with it. Cancer did.
“With…without…and, who’ll deny that’s what the fighting’s all about?”
I remember reading that that album was released fifty years ago this year, As a matter of fact, I think I’ll listen to that one tonight.

Pentagon explains the mysterious Russian tank at a truck stop in Louisiana — saying it was disarmed and is going to an Army training center
The captured Russian T-90A tank was being transported to a US Army training center in Maryland, a Pentagon spokesperson told The War Zone.
Meanwhile, the US army left a Russian tank at Louisiana trucker stop...
I'm sure the Russian version of news about us is as entertaining as our news about them.

Really? How sad. The Italians, who taught the French how to cook, who taught the world about art, inventiveness, gave us Dante...and they adore Russia and Putin? Ignorance, stangnancy and submission?I can speak for my own country and my own people.
The 50% of them adores Russia because they still dream of the USSR...
the other 50% adores Russians because they elected Putin.
Yes, I find that really sad.
I find it strangely ironic that the government of our country could attack Mexico, fabricate a war with Spain, and ethnically cleanse vast swathes of land of “Native American” cultures, all in the service of its “manifest destiny”, and now, despite not having made reparation for those actions, thinks that it has moral standing to censure Russia for pursuing its own concept of manifest destiny. Just sayin’.

Probably poorly, but I’m sure he’s had his fill of cloak-and-dagger for a lifetime.
Exactly! Given how much taste, judgement, talent and acumen they once had. I can only suppose the supremacy of the Papal States, guided by religion, helped pave the way to intellectual torpor.
This is why I prefer a more limited & democratic government.
Harder for it to oppress the masses.
But isn't that what the framers were aiming for? That government should be limited -- and have to go back to the "masses" on a regular basis to ask for permission to carry on?
No secret here but I think that is what the Republican party is trying to weasel its way out of these past few years. Elections don't appear to suit them well.
