Evan Gershkovich, a US reporter, is accused of being a CIA spy and has been detained in a Moscow jail for over a year. He could face up to 20 years in prison — unless he’s saved by a last-minute prisoner swap....
Do you actually think that intelligence agencies are only in contact with one guy? Why wouldn’t the CIA be interested in a reporter traveling to Russia to do a story about Wagner?
Yeah I agree, it’s impossible to know if he’s a spy or not. He might even not know he had shared intresset with other agencies, someone might have led him closer to Wagner than he initially intended.
But he does raise a lot of questions for the Russian it intelligence.
I think we have a different view of spying, this can also be Russians just want a prisoner swap.
All intelligence services have people working for them undercover, you can be hired by or talked into doing x and y by an some intelligence service, you can also be asked to share information with them. They can even help you getting in contact with the right people to make what ever you’re trying to do easier.
You can say that a journalist will publish it findings, but also the journalist can do a lot of other things. I mean I can think of multiple things that the CIA would be interested in that is not necessarily related to the journalistic job. Like recruiting a spy inside Wagner, milking information that is a secret: locations, personnel or arsenal. It can also be a damageing story, Russias official stance is that Wagner is not controlled by the state.
Is he a spy? Does he become a spy if he is spying?
Anyways we don’t know, Russia maybe just wants s prisoner swap, and maybe this journalist was digging in places that he shouldn’t have. We arrest Russian and Chinese spies all the time, some of them are working as journalists.
No, the guy is the original developer of nginx, he fucking is nginx. F5 took over nginx through legal battle stating that Dounin has worked on Nginx on work time, which he denies. There was even a police raid against nginx in Russia.
Europe’s phoney war with China is at an end. After years of building up an improved arsenal for a trade war, Europe is now showing it is willing to get tough on Beijing....
Eu does that also, we sell goods to other continents cheeper than what they can produce. We are not Innocent in this regard, we fuck over African producers by subsidizing the shit out of our products, so they can’t compete. Poor people buy our can of tomatoes, instead of tomotoes produced in the region, creating jobs and businesses.
The US does the same thing, when NAFTA was signed the US started to subsidizing agricultural, to take over the Mexican markets. Clinton knew this would make a lot of people poor in Mexico and they would probably emigrate to the US, so Clinton increased the border security.
You know that Japan has crime? You know that large crime orgs operate in Japan? Everything from drug trafficking, sex trafficking, extortion, protection rackets, arms smuggling is happening.
Dude they want plausible deniability, they want to have no responsibility in doing so. It’s pretty obvious what Israels goal is and has been for the last decades. Steal land, just look at the west bank or even a map.
You’ve been brainwashed by your own government to support Israel in it’s crime spree.
Dude you sound ignorant - UN is made up of it’s member countries that discuss what should be in those treaties. It’s not a person or a team of people just deciding randomly what the treaties should contain, and Germany has approved and signed on to the treaty.
And why the UN doesn’t do shit, is because it’s controlled by it’s member countries, and certain countries has veto-power over Usn decision. And it’s rather the world doesn’t do shit, than the UN doesn’t do shit.
That is basically it, and now learn to breath through your nose.
