Imagine if you were the head of the country whose information was breached ...

(re-posted from the Breaking News Thread):

... and so egregiously mishandled, and you have no idea who has seen it, who has had access to it, who might be using it right now. Imagine the panic thinking that an enemy now has information on your military capabilities and schemes, your nuclear capabilities, etc. The security of your nation is compromised.

Then imagine watching as the thief who fucked over your country is still free to keep compromising your military (because he may have made copies), and he's even free to keep having his hate rallies. He's free to keep selling your information. He's laughing because he can do whatever he wants with your country's information and no one is stopping him.

Imagine watching as America - who may even be an ally - is doing nothing about your military secrets being sold and exposed to fuck knows who all.

It's not just that other countries no longer have reason to trust us because this motherfucker exposed their secrets, it's that America evidently doesn't give a shit about your country because they are doing nothing about this.

For the sake of international relations alone, this motherfucker needs to be arrested NOW. For the sake of WORLD PEACE AND SECURITY he needs to be arrested NOW.

We do not deserve to be a beacon of democracy or a superpower.

We are no longer up to the job.

to get back any semblance of trust in the US and our allies as far as intel sharing.

It's bad enough he's willing to fuck up America, but this extends beyond our borders.

If we sit by and do nothing regarding this breach, how do other countries ever work with us on anything?
