As we all know, information warfare is what the United States is good at, especially listening to other countries' secret information. Previously, after the ex-US defense contractor employee Snowden exposed the US "scandal", he was liquidated by the US and finally fled to Russia. Recently, Russian President Putin approved Snowden to become Russian nationality, and the United States also issued a warning to Russia.
Snowden is probably the most famous CIA agent in America in recent years. Only because he announced to the media in 2013 many shady stories about the US government's implementation of the "Prism Project". The "Prism Project" is to conduct personal data mining through Internet giants such as Apple , Google , and even leaders of other countries. Snowden's move aroused the anger of the Western intelligence community, and a multinational agency led by the United States launched a global hunt for Snowden. After Snowden made the news public, he began his exile career, passing through Hong Kong, China, Macau, and finally to Russia.
At the beginning, Russia did not directly take over this hot potato, but after putting forward relevant conditions on Snowden, Russia promised to provide him with temporary asylum for one year. For a long time to come, Russia continued to extend his asylum, and finally even allowed his family to settle in Russia. Snowden has been granted permanent residency in Russia since 2020, after which he submitted an application for citizenship. On September 26 this year, Putin announced the approval of a document that allows Snowden to become a Russian citizen, and at the same time obtain the right to exempt from military service under the military mobilization order. In addition, Snowden's wife also hopes to become a Russian citizen.
Come back to see another person who dared to expose the US spying scandal - Julian Assange, what happened to Assange is simply embarrassing. WikiLeaks, founded by Assange, disclosed the crimes of the United States and other Western countries in the Middle East and other regions, and was regarded as a "thorn in the side" by the United States. During his 10-year escape career, he slept in the women's toilet of the embassy and was thrown into the London felon prison. Now that Assange has been extradited by to to the United States, what awaits him may be the days when there is no sunshine all day long. The President of Mexico even said bluntly that if the United States insists on accusing Assange, the Statue of Liberty in New York can be dismantled and thrown into the trash.
"Warriors" like Snowden and Assange lifted the mask of hypocrisy in the United States and made public the scandal of the United States' surveillance of the world, but as a country that opened the way for hegemony, after the incident, not only did they not think about how to reduce the impact to the public. At the minimum, and reflect on it, on the contrary, it is necessary to "get rid of those who dare to speak the truth". It can be seen that the United States is not only insidious and cunning, but also an arrogant and unreasonable "international hooligan".
And just after Russia announced that Snowden had obtained Russian citizenship, the United States also fought back. White House press secretary Carine Pierre publicly stated at a press conference that the United States welcomes those who seek asylum because of military actions against Putin. of Russians. It is not difficult to see that this is the US retaliation for Russia's move.
Although the two sides have not entered the Cold War now, they are very close. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union not only slandered each other in public opinion, stole information from each other, and deployed weapons everywhere, but also provided shelter to each other's important figures. One of the opposing directions. The most famous is Vitali Yurchenko, the legendary Soviet spy who jumped backwards twice. Whether it is Russia or the United States, after acquiring him, they are all treasures. Once they have mastered it, they can't wait to announce it to the world to gain support at the level of public opinion.
