he's entertaining offers. If people pay a million bucks for pics off Kanye&Kim's baby, what is his info worth???
Also, a see a date with a drone in his future.
Also, I have no opinion whether he's a jerk or a hero. I DO want to know what other shit we've been pulling - since we pay for it in blood, money, and future enemies. We can hack a life-support system in a hospital anywhere? Wow. We sure are the world leaders in figuring out how to kill people efficiently, huh?

(39,313 posts)They're biding their time because most countries know Snowden is a can of worms that could damage trade agreements.
I want them to resolve it so I can stop wondering what will happen!
Even if Ecuador agrees to take him he has to get there..

He's done.

(39,313 posts)Putin keeps floating asylum for him.. but he can't leave the airport.. how can they facilitate a US capture?
If that's in the works it might take time. Putin still wants to exploit this for anti-USA cred and against his enemies who want more civil rights, and who are on trial now..

(12,482 posts)while still kinda poking a finger in our eye, just a little publicly and also sucking all the info off those laptops- which is probably done by now. If I'm Putin I guess I could just keep doing nothing. Don't let him in but don't make him leave. His own resiliency will determine how long he can go in the transit area of the Moscow airport.
