I understand what you're saying and if Russia did orchestrate the release of information then it's not ideal. I still maintain that the US deserves these forms of retaliations given their role in the removal of so many world leaders in the past century (even Gough Whitlam according to some Age and Guardian articles that I read??). In saying that, my opinion is probably helped by my support of Trump.
I just can't agree with these type of retaliations.
They have to stop somewhere as we have entered a dangerous era worldwide (IMO), sophisticated weaponry/wars, unemployment, poverty, displaced populations, climate change etc.
Sadly I don't see any world politician standing out to guide other nations through this and the UN being a toothless tiger.
Definitely is not Trump, I really believe he will make matters worse. (I am not a Clinton fan).
There is a huge gap in good politicians everywhere, including Australia.
Interesting that you support Trump, what is it about him that you support?
I have just read that he has not held a formal press conference since July last year. Someone who doesn't put himself up for questioning is someone I do not trust. He is being carefully managed, I wonder how long this will go on for? Which other leaders predominately communicates with the people through twitter?
