(82,849 posts)I don't wish any harm to Snowden (or 'most anyone), and I'm glad he's all right, apparently. It's refreshing to read someone say "I called it wrong."

gratuitous
(82,849 posts)I can't fault him for shutting up and letting others comment on the situation. I can't say that I'd give too much credence to anything he has to say, even if I agreed with him.

(12,633 posts)I guess he's quieted down a bit since he knows he's full of shit anyway. And big daddy Vlad won't let him get too far out of line or he'll just toss him back over here

(112,521 posts)I thought about Snowden last night and searched to see if he had any comments about the war and came up with nothing.

(25,710 posts)typed in his name and didn't know what else, decided on the word "idiot" and there is was: "Edward Snowden is a Fucking Idiot."
In 2016 he said policy is irrelevant, laws are "letters on a page," and "There may never be a safer election in which to vote for a third option." What a fucking idiot. Tried to watch the documentary "Citizenfour" but couldn't take looking at and hearing that fucking idiot for more than a few minutes. I can usually watch anything but even I have limits.

(3,635 posts)just like Musk (that brave defender of the Kremlin's 'free speech') whose concept of freedom lacks any context, ethics or morality.
Warpy
(111,383 posts)and Snowden knows if he says anything he's likely to be deported, right into the waiting arms of Interpol.
I don't expect him to say anything.
I wouldn't. I might do some monkey wrenching, but I'd be very quiet about it.

It was one of those surreal moments when light entertainment mugs history. Vladimir Putin crooned the song Blueberry Hill at a childrens charity benefit in St Petersburg in 2010, as a crowd of celebrities including Sharon Stone, Kevin Costner, Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Gérard Depardieu, Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci clapped along like they were in kindergarten. When the politician reeled off the opening line I found my thrill thoughts of the Georgian invasion or the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko didnt seem to be urgently popping into anyones head. Knowing what we know now, the spectacle plays more like Dr Evils rendition of Just the Two of Us but far less funny. In 2022, after Putins ruthless assault on Ukraine, the guests present that day must feel very naive, perhaps even ashamed but they are not the only western celebs who cosied up to Putin. In defence of this bunch, they had been booked to appear by Samuel Aroutiounian, a New Yorker who specialised in bringing Hollywood talent to Russia and later said that he had been unaware Putin would be appearing.
