It Seems The US Has Lost The Ability To Intercept Russian Communications

Good title, bad conclusion.

U.S. military satellites spied Russian troops amassing within striking distance of Crimea last month. But intelligence analysts were surprised because they hadn't intercepted any telltale communications where Russian leaders, military commanders or soldiers discussed plans to invade.--- source at link above

The good news is that somebody has noticed that our military is now at least partly blind, thanks to this administration.  The bad news is that the remedy is to punish Snowden---quote:

I'm happy to have Snowden come back to the US and face a firing squad but I don't think we should jump to the conclusion that every intelligence failure from here on out is because of his crimes. --- "Drew M."

What do you think should have higher priority:  a) We know that our government is spying on EVERYBODY or b) that our military is now blind to a certain extent.

We wouldn't know the domestic spying, and because of that we may not know b).  Therefore, a) is more important.  It is vital that we know what our government is doing.  I don't trust Obama any further than I could throw Mt. Everest.  He is commander in chief.  Even with uncompromised intelligence, he is still no damned good.

In other words, what Obama is doing is more important than what Putin is doing.  Even though what Putin is doing is bad.  What Obama doing is even worse.
