How do you know who influenced Obama’s decisions?

How do you know he published all the information he has? There is no way of knowing that.
Even if it was, Russia has shown time and time again that they torture the people they detain even when there isn’t intel to be gained. They aren’t doing that to Snowden though.
I find it hard to believe that Russia is just being nice to Snowden. Snowden was a former CIA agent. There are many examples of double agents in espionage throughout history, let alone between Russia and the US.
If Snowden isn’t working for Russia then you can guarentee Russia would be torturing him for any information he has. Which they don’t show any signs of doing.
I’ve seen what Russia does to American citizens they detain (atheletes, reporters, teachers, etc.).
It’s telling that Edward Snowden, a former CIA agent, would not get the same or worse treatment in Russia.
If Trump and the GOP accomplish their goals there will not be any more “rounds” or elections.
This is the reason it’s a bad strategy
In this context, “valid strategy” = everyone is worse off, protestors get the opposite of what they wanted and fascist gain power.
In this context, “punishing the other player” = punishing yourself.
The timing, the fact that it was only used against democrats is a sign that the GOP will use it to their advantage.
The way it was done is also an issue. In this context, the message of the protest was that democrats needed to give the protestors what they want. Otherwise democrats wouldn’t get votes from the protestors. Resulting in the protestors helping Trump get elected.
Democrats have constituents that do not agree with those protestors and so democrats would’ve lost votes by giving into the protestors. Resulting in the protestors helping Trump get elected in this outcome also.
In my opinion, supporters of a party should express what they want changed by engaging with their politicians.
The only time that won’t work with a politician is if their intel indicates they gain more votes by not making those changes.
In that scenario, the supporters need to accept that the majority rules in a democracy and vote for the lesser of two evils because that is in the best interest of those supporters.
Instead what happened was protestors cut off their nose to spite their face and now things are much worse as a result.
So if Trump wasn't the candidate that trump is, he wouldn't have won? I mean he was Trump tho.
This statement indicates you think Trump won because of who he is.
My statement points out it is not because of who he is but instead because Russia chose to interfere in elections.
In other words, if Trump dies today, Russia would find another person to fill his place and would use the same propaganda tactics to help get them into a position of power.
This is because Trump is a puppet. Your comment was evidence you don’t understand that that is why he won.
Trump has been trying to become president since 2000 and he has been talking about it since the 80s. It wasn’t until Russia got involved with their propaganda machine that he was able to start his cult.
Without Russian support he wouldn’t be anybody.
I never said he took more documents.
He was a CIA agent. That means he has information other than documents that could be of use to Russia.
You are bending over backwards to handwave the most logical answer: Snowden was/is working for Russia
