It was a consulate, you genius, and he spent several days there. He must be a moron if he expected that would stay secret.
You do realize especially with his situation, he had to cover all legal aspects. Anyone would visit the consulate before traveling to Russia, and he would, too, even if he didn't plan to leave the international zone.
Staying Russia wasn't his plan, but it was definitely an option as he must've known that he might get trapped in any country he crossed.
- seppin 6y agoPeople are (still, amazingly) claiming he just happened to get stranded in Russia. Clearly this was either his backup plan for what most likely would happen, or his actual plan for what he knew would happen (with Russian intel advising him the whole way). Pretty far away from "do people not realize that his passport was taken and he got stuck in the Moscow airport?" Really far.
- class4behavior 6y agoPeople say that because that's the very likely truth. We know his passport got declared invalid. It's standard procedure. The timeline is also normal as the story was developing quickly once he revealed he was the source. There are a lot of claims that he gave the Chinese intel, so somehow, after they didn't give him any protection, he just immediately gambled on selling info to Russia?
- seppin 6y ago> It's standard procedure. If it's "standard procedure", then he would have fully expected to stay in (be stuck in) the first country he landed at once leaving HK. Like I said, it was planned.
- class4behavior 6y agoAh, yes, the trained master-mind Snowden. It was all a ploy to embarrass the US and hide the fact that Snowden actually collaborated with Russia, which the US for some reason would never even assert.
- seppin 6y agoThat's a weird bit of deflection you've resorted to.
