US critique smacks of pot, kettle, black

Nina L Khrushcheva writes that while the US blasts diplomatic breaches by Vladimir Putin, the US National Security Agency was spying on everyone, whether friend or foe.

I HATE agreeing with Vladimir Putin, even a little. Russia’s president is dragging his country, the country of my birth, backwards, and falsely argues that violating international law is somehow good for Russians.

However, the hysterical response of Americans to the Kremlin’s alleged efforts to influence the US presidential election has forced me to look at things from Putin’s perspective.
