First let us make a difference between countries who unfortunately still have a dictatorship and those who can be called free and democratic states, And in a dictatorship many people can be opposed against their so-called regimes. In a free and democratic state government and parliament can be elected (more or less) democratically. The perfect state does not exist. There are countries, for example Israel, who have a more human, just and decent system than others. Espionage however is/has already been practiced since the beginning of humankind

Putin is laughing all the way to the can. does that mean West allies do not have the means to give to Russia or China? makes you wonder how qualified our leaders are. ps. autocracy is gaining because of inept West leadership. now you know why Trump was elected.
