[@DuxSupremus]

@@KaloyanKasabov Missing the forest for the trees. As Europe is currently learning, and as America learned with the 2016 election, there are many ways of conducting hybrid warfare. Undermining trust and faith is one of them. "What does Russia directly gain from Assange?" misses the point of Assange generally discrediting America to the benefit of Russia. (As has happened with France in the Sahel in Africa, again to Russia's benefit.) Assange's foremost ally was Glenn Greenwald. Greenwald was also the pointman for Edward Snowden. Snowden fled to Russia citing that it had truly free press (same as China). These people are all connected in an extremely obvious fashion, much as Trump and Giuliani are obviously connected to Putin, and as Orban and Fico are obviously connected to Putin. These are not hard connections to draw. Instead, people champion Assange as a free speech hero, despite it being a matter of record that Putin gleefully uses Western free speech as a weapon against it. This makes Assange's supporters what the Soviets used to call "useful idiots".

How does one balance secure and freedom of expression when many of the things done would have likely been kept classified for decades? Though if anything, the fact that people trust Russia and China more when they hear such news honestly makes me believe that the biggest issue is the education both from schools and parents.
