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

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.

Also I disagree with your assertion our spying 'devastates middle east'. Effective covert programs prevent war. Faulty spying leads to war.

You're assuming the US tries to avoid wars.

Yes. That seemed to be the goal of nearly every member of the military and every IC officer I've ever met. Can't speak for WH or Congress.
