i'm not convinced that this is a major ordeal that poses any devastating threat to our foreign relations or national security, it's just the politics of the situation. if you have an agreement with someone, you keep it, otherwise it reflects badly on you.
Well that's fine, and I'd agree. Problem is, people aren't thinking rationally anymore and the media is at fault for this. Instead of being a little more choice with their words, they just say: Annoying Orange SHARES CLASSIFIED INFORMATION WITH RUSSIANS, followed by several paragraphs of hype, then a sentence or two at the end that tries to tie it all down into reality. Technically, yes, it's true, but holy stuff, you know how people are. They'll see the headline and run with it instead of taking the time to sift through the bullstuff.
