Hacked emails damaging the public image of Hillary Clinton were strategically leaked throughout the US presidential campaign to dominate the global news agenda although the hacktivists did little to nothing with the information they found about the Republicans. Evidently they did so to avenge on the Democrats in power, who messed with the hacktivism.
USA historically failed to tackle the Snowden affair. The best way left to then US President Barack Obama was to let the former CIA agent Edward Snowden go calmly but his acknowledging him by ordering an overt chase resulted into another far greater intelligence failure. Thereafter extending asylum to Edward Snowden ignited another cold war that finally made former KGB agent Vladimir Putin the most influential man on planet earth.
The man who prevented Russia from becoming finally a failed state, has been consistently influential within his nation but has become globally influential since then. Immediately after the Snowden affair, he was declared the Forbes’ world’s most powerful person and is still running so for four years.
In January 2015, Last Soviet leader Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev in an interview told about the Russian leader Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin to Der Spiegel, “When Putin moved into the Kremlin, he inherited a difficult legacy. There was chaos everywhere. The economy was crippled, entire regions wanted to secede. There was a threat of Russia disintegrating. Putin stopped this process and that will remain the greatest achievement of his time in office. Even if Putin hadn’t managed to achieve anything else, he will always be credited with that.”
Still saving Snowden was a substantial move by Putin. Not only Wikileakers but all sorts of hacktivists from worldwide deeply desired that he is to be saved from falling in the hands of USA. Saving Snowden then suddenly promoted Putin amiably among that invincible force. That is how, now Putin is said to have turned hacks in Trump’s triumph.
