Showing Original Post only (View all)Snowden's latest leak is about our spying on Russia. Is he trying to start WW3? [View all]
To set the US, China, and Russia against each other?
I don't honestly think he is, but wars often begin with what seem to be small issues. He's treading in very dangerous waters.
I'm also worried about how Obama will accomplish anything else as President, with what could be an unending drip of classified documents over the next three years.

American spies based in the UK intercepted the top-secret communications of the then Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, during his visit to Britain for the G20 summit in London, leaked documents reveal.
The details of the intercept were set out in a briefing prepared by the National Security Agency (NSA), Americas biggest surveillance and eavesdropping organisation, and shared with high-ranking officials from Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
The document, leaked by the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and seen by the Guardian, shows the agency believed it might have discovered a change in the way Russian leadership signals have been normally transmitted.
The disclosure underlines the importance of the US spy hub at RAF Menwith Hill in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, where hundreds of NSA analysts are based, working alongside liaison officers from GCHQ.
