Calling him an "agent" is silly, but Snowden is living in Moscow at the pleasure of the Russian regime. It's hard to believe he's entirely free, or even substantially free, to do what he wants.
It's pretty clear he never wanted to end up there. The US definitely screwed up by leaving him few other options. He's not an agent of Moscow, but he's not a free man either.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoThis right here is what I believe. He isn't there out of choice, he is there out of a lack of options.
- slim 7y agoHe's probably as free as he could be. Certainly more free than in US. Russia is scoring against US by simply letting Snowden live free. Then even if it will be hard for you to believe, some countries grant asylum to asylum seekers, simply to comply with international treaties
- MiroF 7y agoI think Russia has a lot to gain by letting him live freely
