Thread: Edward Snowden and his stay in Russia

IMHO he ought to say that Snowden's done the world a favour and is obviously welcome to stay and get some protection. I guess it says something about Russia and Putin that doesn't make me feel very enthusiastic.

American spy asks for asylum in Russia
It's so much a cliché that no wonder nobody wants to be a part of it
Thingerpointing is on the way
