Now, I'm not saying that Russia is the good guys either, so be clear about that. But if you consider what nation has caused more death and destruction since the end of WW II, I think we win hands down. Either directly through war, or indirectly by supplying arms through the auspices of the CIA to various dictators in third world countries like those in Africa and in Indonesia or Guatemala (and there were genocides committed in the latter two countries with the aid of the U.S.), among others. For example, three million Vietnamese died during the war there, and one source I know of indicated that in modern warfare far more civilians are dying. For example, in the Iraq War, 90 percent of those who died, or collateral damage as they call it, were civilians. It's a nasty world we live in today, but I don't believe Assange is part of that. Just because the Russians aid someone, doesn't mean they're the bad. Castro, for instance, was trying to improve the lives of the people in Cuba, but we boycotted Cuba and tried to overthrow him because we don't believe in socialism. So, the Russians came to his aid. Of course we portray Castro as evil. But if we had not boycotted Cuba, like we are doing to Venezuela, they would've been prosperous. But we couldn't allow that because of our dirty capitalist system. Americans aren't bad people, nor are Russians bad people. It's our governments that are evil, and we are the most evil of them all. We are the evil empire.
