      RU got metadata from 500M people. How many people does NSA have metadata from?https://twitter.com/SenFeinstein/status/842134247494324225 …

      Incomplete comparison. RU hackers got more than metadata: content of emails, used access to reset other accounts linked to @Yahoo emails.

      Posit: Yahoo deserves as much blame as RU / NSA. Yahoo MUST assume they are a target. Yahoo was lacksadaisacal in preventing / detecting.

      I'm actually not trying to blame. I'm trying to contextualize in interest of normative discussion.

          I think you have to measure these things in terms of benefit and harm. The harm here: weakening US / Europe democracy, strengthening Putin.

          As opposed to destroying the Middle East? You do realize the US does its own kind of damage in the world?

          By the way, I'm not exactly sure how NSA metadata collection was "destroying the middle east". Generally: situational awareness prevents war

          You're assuming that RU spying is primarily abt ruining Europe. A lot of our spying serves to devastate the Middle East.

          I'm assuming Russian spying is to increase Russian sphere of influence. Increasing Russian sphere of influence destroys the Europe I love.

          US expanding is sphere of influence in ME contributed far more to destroying the Europe you (and I) love.

          Because reaction against the refugee crisis is a far more direct cause of crisis in Europe than RU tampering.

          Mostly agree. But seems the only way we could have prevented that is by using our sphere of influence. Are you for or against intervention?
