“It would be a disaster for American-German relations if Snowden came to Germany and publicly testified before the Bundestag.” What Green MP Christian Ströbele ultimately is hoping for after his surprise visit with Edward Snowden in Moscow would be a nightmare for Stephen Szabo of the German Marshall Fund, as well for the Obama administration.

The relationship between the two countries is headed towards “a deep, downward spiral,” says Szabo. This must be stopped. If Snowden were to come to Germany with official blessing, the situation would escalate further, warns the long-time Germany expert and vice-president of the German Marshall Fund in Washington. …

I knew what you meant, sweetie. I read and understand fluent Typoese. [smiles]

[Slings and Arrows]

No wonder you understand me so well.

[TheOldLady]

It’s a gift, but you’re one of our more articulate and intelligent FReepers as well.

Kosher Kitty doesn't approve

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.

Wow - Since 2001 too. No noob.

[TheOldLady]

I should say so!

I am a little nervous about this one. His comments, according to several FReepers were uncharacteristic.

But no one has any idea why he had such a drastic change of heart.

Not a noob at all. Here’s hoping that his account wasn’t hacked.

And I better make myself a stronger FR password.

Wow. Really went over to the dark side there. I really wonder what happened to that one. Thanks for the ping.

I saw someone at the Orhodox church saying that Kapner is mentally ill and off his meds; that he’s a very pleasanet fellow as long as he’s on meds and very unpleasant off.

And that the orthodox want nothing to do with him and want him to get treatment.

People do change over time sometimes.

Hey, you can still call me a noob - by one day...

Actually, the NSA spying program started under Clinton.

“They all recognize that Obama is a weak, unreliable, back-stabbing, unserious leader, who’s putting the US economy and dollar at risk.”

Not for nothing, our allies aren’t concerned about this because of their altruism. Their economies rely on ours to survive and our military strength is their military strength. If the United States were to suffer an economic, political, or social collapse due to Obama’s “fundamental transformation”, the entire Free World would collapse with it.
