In reply to the discussion: Whistleblower My Ass: Snowden's Russia Connection Confirmed by Putin [View all]blackspade
(10,056 posts)It doesn't support your or the writer's theory that he sold crap to the Russians.
What it does show (and the author points this out) is that Snowden sought out Russian asylum.
And no, Putin is in no way to be trusted. He was the head of the KGB for fuck sake.
Personally, I think that Snowden made a grave error going to Russia.
I would have taken my chances almost anywhere else.
Now he is a pawn in Putin's chess game with the West and is, I would wager, pretty expendable depending on the circumstances.
But none of this takes away from the information that he has provided Greenwald and by extension the US electorate.
I'm glad that I now have a much better idea about the unconstitutional shenanigans that the Feds have been up to.
It's time to put a stop to it.
As for Snowden, He will be back in US custody in due time, so you can save your vitriol for the Nancy Grace and Faux News flogged trial.
