Thread: Edward Snowden and his stay in Russia

My suggestion for Snowden before he goes "sight-seeing" would be to find a really good plastic surgeon.

I was more worried about Snowden learning too much about Russia. Even if he wouldn't give anymore secrets away, if somebody caught him they could interrogate him.
And yeah, I think he should get a new face and new ID and stuff. If somebody does catch him then they won't care what other Americans think. They will just put him in prison, torture him, and then have a show trial. If they don't kill him first.

Yeah, that's what our country does to control other countries. The best thing Russia could do is just find other countries to trade with. Don't give in to the dark side! That leads to McDonald's hamburgers!
