Thread: Edward Snowden and his stay in Russia

This entire case looks like a joke. No one has even seen him after he has arrived to Moscow. And the most ridiculous are Putin's comments. I've lost respect to him long ago but now he acts really foolish imho. It's not his duty to comment such things.

That's correct. He's telling him (through the media) his best option etc. What a weak President. IT-ogo says:

"So Russian diplomacy with US plays a bad baby who gets candies from time to time for each while of being obedient. Now Russia plays naughty but not naughty enough to get brutalized."

That's about it in a nutshell. I just hope all Russians can remember from now on how weak and hypocritical their President is. Stand up to the USA? LOL A few Latin countries are trying but Putin does nothing but at least he hosted him in an airport.

It's not about 'your politics vs their politics' but going through the process. LOOK AT HIS APPLICATION. Go through the motions of an asylum case. But, these countries are not doing so. Russia is not doing so. I really wonder whether those alleged European countries denied air space (to Bolivia or whoever was inviting Snowden to fly there). That should be news. That should be investigated. I am not sure why more people aren't alarmed. Other than the morons who replied and 'defended Putin and the USA', I am not sure how many people are absolutely clueless and oblivious on this issue. It's really dangerous and scary when one nation dictates what others must do. To the point of controlling air space! OMG! That is major.

There's more to the story, too. I read on the radio about various politicians and Americans of influence interfering with other countries' asylum procedures and policies. That is, telling countries to 'back off' etc. These Americans also violated laws by insinuating he would have no due process and others suggested he is a traitor. Joe Biden asked Ecuador to decline Snowden's asylum request. To say this is unethical is an understatement. How do you say a country is sovereign when this is going on?

As usual our fellow American thinks that world turns around the USA And that everybody's duty is to stand up to it. Ignorance and self praise.

Who are you talking about? I notice you didn't respond to the points/arguments. See, that's one reason I decided to ignore your comments. But, I'll point out the reason.

Why would one need to stand up to the U.S. in the first place? =)
