Russia and China are flexing their muscles with Washington......Obama’s lack of ability in dealing with the big players has once again exposed how much of an amateur he is....they know it...he hasn’t figured it out yet.

Friends fear us only because of our present erratic policies.

************************
I don’t think anyone fears us. If they are friendly it is because they want something,,mostly our money, arms or blood.

CALEA involves published standards out there for years. Nothing new there. CALEA involves supoenas and specific targets and data caoptured in realtime. Legal processes followed and used by FBI, sheriffs etc. Modern version of a wiretap authorized by a judge.

NSA scandal involved massive dumps of data on innocent people and not limited to targets. What all did they capture? Cell location data? Who had access to the data? They sucked in thousands of records.

A foreign head of state does not ‘defy’ the US. The assumption inherent in such a choice of words is that when the US issues an order the whole world is supposed to drop everything and obey.
Screw that.

Agreed.
But we see that even here: look at the relationship of the FedGov and the Several States.
(The former views the latter as mere vassalage.)


...except that lords were supposed to have a loyalty to their vassals, and they routinely engage in malfeasance and nonfeasance.

Money AND information.

Mr. Snowden may well be paying his way with information.

If Snowdon doesn’t pass through immigration and has stayed air-side in the terminal - then technically he (or anyone for that matter) hasn’t entered Russia, ...that does not mean Putin doesn’t have access to him.

Vladimir Putin is the best leader Russia has ever had since Tsar Peter. Bork Obunga is the worst leader any major power has ever had since Nero.

"Vladimir (Владимир)" is pronounced 'vla-DEE-mir', that is, the accent on the second syllable. The name, which is also the name of a Russian city, is a contraction of владеть миром or владетель миром, meaning "ruler of the world". I'd assume that in 900 AD or thereabouts that meant ruler or main city of the Slavic world or some such.
