10. When Putin's OPPOSITION says "Get the hell outta here," he's got to feel like he's been hung out to

And then there’s murdered opposition journalist Anna Politkovskaya’s newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, which broke its sullen silence to tell Snowden to leave Russia, where he’s been making the opposition’s life harder by making Putin look better:

“Well, what can you say? If that infantile leftie Snowden really wanted to be a hero, he should return to the USA: crucify or not crucify, they’d probably give him 10 years, and he’d do five.”

“Snowden wanted to become a digital world’s Christ — without having to hang on the cross. Now Snowden’s going to spend not five years, but the rest of his life as a guest of the FSB.”


That, to me, is rather BRUTAL, particularly the "infantile leftie" and "digital world's Christ" remark. Of course, the more Snowden talks, the less likely it will be that they "give him ten, and he'll do five." He keeps running his mouth, and the damages mount. It's like he has a paint can and a brush, and he''s busily painting himself into a corner!
