- capote 10y agoI wouldn't have been in his situation in Hong Kong because, while I see his actions as positive overall, I do not think they're worth having to run off to a place like Russia (which does what I'm trying to fix on a much larger scale) to escape jail. Preventing irony in this situation is important, because all the good he is doing is sending a message. If that message is ironic, it's not a very productive message—in comparison to the surveillance activity of Russia, the NSA surveillance looks like less of a big deal (and, in my opinion, is less of a big deal).
- sawthat 10y agoCuba is also not very free in this regard.
- dalke 10y agobbcbasic was incomplete. He was bound for Ecuador, which had offered asylum. His planned to go through Moscow then Havana, but Cuba was not his final destination. He was unable to carry out his plan because the US canceled his passport when he was in Moscow.
