    So mean of the USA!  Bombing peaceful neighbouring countries is much more polite.
    No hypocrisy there at all.  America never bombs other countries or invades and topples other governments, even on false pretexts.  And America had nothing to do with Ukraine's 2014 coup either.  And it didn't state explicitly its plan to balkanize Russia as a prelude to war with China which it can't compete against.
    Since this is word for word Russian propaganda ("2014 coup" vs a fair election), it goes without saying that it is not accurate. Wikipedia can enlighten anyone who wants to know.

    Not really, no.  But also not at all relevant to the conversation.  Nice try though.

    Totally possible! We would never know! Like Apple gonna admit to something like that? 🧐
    While technically possible, there is absolute zero (0) chance Apple would do this. Their entire value proposition is privacy and security — they’re not going to risk their entire company just to…do what? Make the Pentagon happy? Nope, nope, nope. 

    This is nonsense.

    Apple wouldn’t have to be involved. Just intercept the shipments, insert the malware and send them on their way. 

    It’s been done before, classic tradecraft. And by targeting specific phones the chance of discovery is reduced. 

    Zero need for a mythological “back door”. Just run of the mill malware. 

    Heck Trump’s Chief of Staff Kelly had his phone compromised when he was Director Homeland Security

    oops. !

    This is clearly made up as the NSA is responsible for homeland security if they uncovered a plot to monitor people outside the USA that would be the responsibility of the CIA!

    calling bulli£@$# on the whole claim.

    I’m sick of all of these Putin supporters in the US. They follow political leaders who do not have their best interests at heart. The America they want is run by Putin because he supports their run for power. They barely try to hide it. They are traitors to our country and our freedom. Their supporters have no idea what they are bargaining for, because they get their information in a bubble dominated by Putin supporters. The so called liberal media fails to call them out for who and what they are for fear of being called biased and appearing partisan. 

    They often offer up the content of what these people are saying but rarely call it what it’s is. That is far more dangerous than the nut cases that might come for them and their families online and offline.

    QFT. 

    When Putin is finally defeated, it will be a good day for the pro- business, pro-defense moderates in the Republican Party — basically, the Romney-McCain camp. It will be a bad day for the Trump -MTG types.
