"Bild" is basically Germany's Fox News. The author has worked for the NSA in the past and seems to somehow glorify their unconstitutional mass surveillance crimes. The same guy has also claimed Snowden being able to speak German is somehow proof of KGB collaboration. Botice how the articles headline talks about "The Kremlin", when in reality this is one senator who has said something that could be construed as meaning that Snowden "brought intelligence".

But there is a bigger overriding issue with your post. Somehow the KGB is "blood thirsty". Why do you think that? Have American intelligence agencies never killed people for political goal? Maybe it was just not disseminated in American news? Why do you not have an allegiance to values such as reason, humanitarianism or freedom as opposed to some flag?
