Wikileaks: US embassy cables leak sparks global diplomacy crisis - Polidicks

[QUOTE=VagueWisdom;26371997]Wow.[/QUOTE] the fuck do you mean wow? There is no proof that they did. You're the guy who said to me "You don't believe Aliens made the pyramids??" As if it's fucking ridiculous not to.

[QUOTE=Elizer;26372165]Why didn't you screen cap it dammit?[/QUOTE] You can still see the vandalised version searching through the page history

[QUOTE=Miskatonic;26372300]The Wedding entry is pretty saucy.[/QUOTE] Link?

Can someone clear this up for me? China is supporting North Korea to collapse so Korea can be unified?

[QUOTE=Killoch0;26362885]Not really surprised by anything so far. I don't see the justification in leaking any of these documents other than simple anti-americanism. ( So far ) With the Iraq and Afghanastan leaks you could argue that they were trying to bring to light civilian deaths, how the war was really being fought etc.. but here it really just seems they are trying to damage the US internationally.[/QUOTE] What the fuck are you talking about? These are the perfect documents for leaking. Documents that don't endanger the lives of anyone, but highlight mismanaged in the government are the documents that should be leaked [editline]28th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Neo222;26372369]The release of these documents are doing more damage then good. Each time I even see something about wikileaks, I think 'what the hell did they release now'. People here say its a good thing, but I think otherwise along with some of us. What would happen if the government fell, huh? A shittier one would just take its place. Edit: And here comes the boxes from those that believe otherwise.[/QUOTE] I can't have a government that wants to embrace its shortcomings rather than cover them up in embarrassment? ^That last statement is not specifically referring to this leak because this leak is pretty tame, but in general.

A message to Julian Assange. QUIT STALLING AND POST IT ALL ALREADY YOU BIG FAT PHONY.

[QUOTE=Billiam;26372857] I can't have a government that wants to embrace its shortcomings rather than cover them up in embarrassment? ^That last statement is not specifically referring to this leak because this leak is pretty tame, but in general.[/QUOTE] Hey, its human nature. Something bad happens, either they tell someone out of guilt or they try to cover it up. Not saying that every government does it, just saying, what do you expect?

I was really looking forward to reading the American's assessments of various world leaders. :( [editline]29th November 2010[/editline] I'm starting to wonder if continuing occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq are too contain Iran's influence. [editline]29th November 2010[/editline] I feel like I'm either way off, or late to the party. [editline]29th November 2010[/editline] Like, what I'm sort of getting from these documents are that the Americans are fighting another Cold War.

I think the Iran news is pretty big personally. [editline]29th November 2010[/editline] They are scarier than NK because they are religious and therefore unpredictable.

lol diplomacy

[QUOTE=Spetzaz;26379764]I think the Iran news is pretty big personally. [editline]29th November 2010[/editline] They are scarier than NK because they are religious and therefore unpredictable.[/QUOTE] You honestly think Iran is scarier than NK, because they have a state religion...?

Oh this mess is gonna be fun to watch. [quote]Arab leaders are privately urging an air strike on Iran [/quote] That is surprising, I always figured all the governments in the middle east were a giant ball of we hate everything that isn't us but apparently not.

ITT: No aliens/tales of government takeover by reptilians/threats of giant meteors headed at earth = BORRRRRIIIINNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;26380284]ITT: No aliens/tales of government takeover by reptilians/threats of giant meteors headed at earth = BORRRRRIIIINNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG[/QUOTE] This is only the first 250 of the documents, keep your pants on we'll get there.

[QUOTE=JPost]The article also quotes the State Department as saying that US President Barack Obama "prefers to look East rather than West," and "has no feelings for Europe."[/quote] Man, this is what you get when you elect an Indonesian terrorist.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;26380284]ITT: No aliens/tales of government takeover by reptilians/threats of giant meteors headed at earth = BORRRRRIIIINNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG[/QUOTE] Not only would there not be any of those, but these cables are leaked from US embassies, not US military bases or NASA, it's just going to be diplomatic stuff.

[QUOTE=JLea;26380032]You honestly think Iran is scarier than NK, because they have a state religion...?[/QUOTE] I think that way too. Religion is very strong ideology. And as any religion is dangerous, Islam is a lot worse. [b]Edit:[/b] Is there a bombs in a boxes down there? Cause I'm scared...

[QUOTE=JLea;26380032]You honestly think Iran is scarier than NK, because they have a state religion...?[/QUOTE] Because their leaders are priests and fanatics, and for all you know they might nuke Israel just to "get into paradise", regardless of if they die in a retaliation or not. Whereas NKians, although many are devoted, they do not want to die because there is no paradise waiting for them. Or presumably so.

Was just on the news that it says something in there about US nukes being in The netherlands, we've known that for years ourselfs :downs:

[QUOTE=mobrockers;26381129]Was just on the news that it says something in there about US nukes being in The netherlands, we've known that for years ourselfs :downs:[/QUOTE] I didn't V:v:V.

[QUOTE=goon165;26381150]I didn't V:v:V.[/QUOTE] What, everyone knows :v: What's so retarded about it is, that our planes have to drop em, with their pilots in em, we get the blame, they get to throw a nuke...

[QUOTE=mobrockers;26381201]What, everyone knows :v: What's so retarded about it is, that our planes have to drop em, with their pilots in em, we get the blame, they get to throw a nuke...[/QUOTE] Looks like your country is some kind of 'diplomatic shield' for them.

[QUOTE=Gentlemanne;26380529]Man, this is what you get when you elect an Indonesian terrorist.[/QUOTE] More like because the West is practically comatose; the East is showing the economic growth the West once had, and Obama apparently refuses to try and pick at bones when the real opportunities are in our figurative backyard.

[QUOTE=gudman;26381471]Looks like your country is some kind of 'diplomatic shield' for them.[/QUOTE] Germany, Belgium and Turkey also have US nukes.

[QUOTE=mobrockers;26382053]Germany, Belgium and Turkey also have US nukes.[/QUOTE] Then what's the news about Netherlands having them?

[QUOTE=mobrockers;26382053]Germany, Belgium and Turkey also have US nukes.[/QUOTE] We in Germany don't own the Nukes, they belong to the US. They are just stationed here

[QUOTE=gudman;26382597]Then what's the news about Netherlands having them?[/QUOTE] That 99% don't know that we have them here.

So guys, fill me in since I am confused by reading the thread. So did the US Government just insult the Royal Family, Putin and the United Kingdoms Military?
