Reuters is not to be trusted. It's become very, very difficult to find an unbiased news source. As I've said before, since Fox was the first to go biased a couple decades ago, and haven't slid any further right since then, they are the least biased (but still really biased) source right now.GrumpyCatFace wrote:It's the best news source that I've seen.

Zero Hedge’s Tyler Durden Outed as a Russian Agent

While volunteering with the Sanders campaign, the Australians engaged in political activities “including encouraging voter attendance at campaign events, recruiting volunteers, canvassing with volunteers, and planning events,” according to the FEC.
The Sanders campaign “treated the ALP delegates no differently from any other campaign out-of-town volunteers and was aware that they were receiving a stipend from the ALP,” the FEC added.
The ALP spent $16,140 for the Australians’ flights to the United States and $8,282 for their daily stipends. The FEC determined that amounted to a $24,422 “prohibited in-kind foreign contribution” the Sanders campaign accepted from the ALP.

If they actually did that, that could be construed as an act of war. Assassinating defectors is one thing; releasing a nerve agent in another country is fucking nuts.

Worthy of a strongly-worded sanction or something, but not a war. This is no different than Kim having his brother whacked in that airport with nerve agent.Speaker to Animals wrote:Holy shit:

Also an act of war.
If you are going to kill your defectors, just do it with a gun. Releasing a nerve agent is an act of terrorism, and state terrorism is actually an act of war.

Re: Russia! Russia!! Russia!!!
If it were widely 'released', affecting other citizens, then yes it would be. Killing 1-2 defectors isn't exactly a WMD attack. You're just reacting to the method of killing.Speaker to Animals wrote:GrumpyCatFace wrote:Worthy of a strongly-worded sanction or something, but not a war.

Re: Russia! Russia!! Russia!!!
The amount is irrelevant. It’s the act in itself. As usual you know nothing. Trump is going to have to act if it’s traced back to Russia.GrumpyCatFace wrote:If it were widely 'released', affecting other citizens, then yes it would be.

Sure, act away. Issue another sanction, throw an egg on their next Olympic team or something.Hastur wrote:The amount is irrelevant. It’s the act in itself. As usual you know nothing.

Not worth blowing up the world over, though. Especially with precedent already established. Shit, even the Russians have done this before, using polonium.

Hmmm. Bigger than I thought. Seems 21 we’re hospitalized, and 3 actually still being treated

That changes the equation. I thought it only affected the target.
