It is commonplace for men who doubt their courage to be provoked
into war to slaughter civilians while safe in capital whiskey and sex clubs:
Go down the list of leaders who were bullied by stronger men and
women to wage carnage. Working backward:
George W. Bush
William J. Clinton
Richard M. Nixon
John F. Kennedy
Woodrow Wilson
Abraham Lincoln
George Washington
In short, all presidents, kings and queens, ayatollahs, sheiks,
emirs, potentates, joan d'arcs, fidels, commissars, supreme
leaders, freedom fighters, rebels, mafia, mommy boys and
daddy girls, sibling rivals, band of brothers, Shebas, Helens,
Hillary Clintons, Patricia Nixons, Barbara Bushs, yo momma
yelling be a man "kill the man, yo thieving daddy," aged vets
lying to kids about their combat valor in foreign whorehouses,
aged grandmas bitching about useless youngsters failing to
supply booze, nicotine and celebrity mags, bosses wailing
about disloyal sysadmins ratting to DAs about their kiddie
porn and heroin dealers.
Got that never-ending war channel? Got that Memorial Day
grieving shot? If not, long-on to never-ending media advertizing
most suitable for working zombies dead by the millions to end
the war to end all war.

Your point is the Russian are not dumb. Yes, that is not disputed.
With the recent conflict in Syria and the offshore naval
contestation Putin managed to bring this whole Shakespearean drama
to a close by removing chemical weapons of the table which would
have lead to a naval shooting match.
The strategy of Putin and Obama has been compared to that of Obama
playing checkers and Putin playing 3 dimensional chess.
Putin, is a very smart player, this is obvious :) Obama, does not
appear to be at the moment, unless he is playing another game that
is not that obvious.

Clouds over the USA are no longer an option, and that he will be
"nationalising" the storage data of his citizenry. Bad news for
those companies who sell their "secure" options in the clouds in
the USA, they will have to get their act together sufficiently to
convince other countries that there is not only no "unauthorised"
access, but access which is guaranteed to be secure to the nation
or corporations' satisfaction. Maybe though, that is an impossible
task...and instead they will get more subsidies from the government
so that they can keep going and keep up appearances.

especially when they are no good and don't work. It is not only
American citizens who are suffering the consequences. How can
people and companies or corporations, who are not American
citizens, and therefore have no rights of security of their
information,take part in negotiating contracts at arms length in a
global economy, which the US and western states are encouraging so
much, when the security services are helping themselves to the same
confidential information and refusing to allow proper inspection
and oversight to make sure that they aren't selling off such
information to the highest American bidder, or surreptitiously,
privately to other bidders? Bad news for the "samisdat" Russians too.

Snowdens revelations, tiny though they are, to improve the
collection, collation, sifting and sorting, profiling and targeting
of the data of his own home citizens, for purposes diverse and
devious. It has taken them a while to catch up with the wiles and
ways of the old KGB and their relations with western security
services. Perhaps they have been far too trusting, or complacent,
or busy with other priorities...not any more.

attempts at the expansion of "5 Eyes" and associated nation states
who share less information with the USA and its colleagues, as a
way of overcoming the attempt to collect everything that moves
electronically. One never knows about such things, enemies can
become friends, or friendly aliens, so quickly in the world these
days, that one can hardly keep up with it.
