>what seems to be more likely? I think that a simple supposition that Snowden intended to defect to Russia from the beginning explains everything that has happened. >I mean, you complain that he didn't outright challenge Putin in a live broadcast. He didn't have to participiate in this circus show at all. Nobody would bat an eye if he didn't appear there. It was his conscious decision to participiate in Putin's PR campaign. Also, you seem to be under an assumption that I'm an American citizen and I'm just mad about Snowden obviously betraying his home country. That's where you're wrong, because I'm actually a Russian citizen and want Snowden to gtfo for various reasons, some of which I already stated.
