What's up with Snowden? I find it very hard to believe that Russia doesn't know where he is.
One leading theory was he was being saved as a bargaining chip. But don't you think he would have been traded for sanctions relief early on? Presumably his value to the US diminishes over time.
- lawnchair_larry 8y agoRussia knows where he is, but I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. They aren't interested in him. And that theory wasn't "leading".
- kome 8y agoSnowden has nothing to do with this. And he has some legal status in Russia, he is not hiding at all.
- stcredzero 8y agoSheltering, if you like. "Hiding out" can be used as a synonym for that. He's not hiding if everyone knows where he is, and he's streamed media events talking about where he is.

I think, Russia knows very well where he is. ;) But as big as he is, a trade over sanctions will not happen, he's still too small of a fish. Maybe they'll trade him with a few Russian spies over time, but then Russia would lose some sort of street cred in those circles.
