Snowden Revisited

[HVC]

yes, and they will regret it.

Anyway, for Snowden, I'm expecting a full presidential pardon within 4 years.  Trump will find a way to make him a hero of some anti-Obama crusade.

Europe doesn't have to worry.  Canadas will come to their rescue.

We did it twice before and we'll do it again

your country is going to normalize relations with Russia

We've had normalized relations with Russia and before it with the Soviet Union since 1933.  I don't know what you think the word means, but you clearly are talking out of your ass.

Ah, so good to see there's no threat to my worldview, vis a vis Snowden, at least.  And yeah, to clarify, I think he's a delusional little shit with a mild messiah complex who wanted to be seen as the hero for Sticking It to the Man.  So I come down on the espionage, not whistleblowing, side of things- a whistle ended up blown in the process, but only as a side effect, not because that was what Snowden set out to do.

How is that helpful? Also, last time I checked the current president is Obama and he agrees.

I don't think Obama would agree with the term "unambiguous enemy". Certainly not publicly.

I'm talking about lifting sanctions and such.

If I were Snowden I would turn it down. Talk about a worthless passport.

[celedhring]

Just in time to get mobilized.

[Jacob]

Apparently his citizenship came with a mobilization exemption.

What a champion of liberty and transparency.
