- veidr 5y agoI don't have enough context to know what he means. How did he call it wrong?
- hasty 5y agoHe spent a couple weeks saying that the Biden administration was predicting an invasion that wasn't going to happen as a way of distracting from other problems, e.g. https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1493641714363478016 https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1493641714363478016

- mikewarot 5y agoIt's a real shame to see an American Hero like him forced into Exile. I really hope someone has the decency to call off the dogs, and let him come home.
- xibalba 5y agoHe broke the law. He fled the country to avoid the rule of law. He sought refuge in a country run by a criminal syndicate that is presided over by a madman ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- dopp0 5y agomakes you wonder how bad a country has to be in order to force one to go to "another country run by a criminal syndicate" just to expose shit that should never happen. It's the spiderman triple meme all along.
- bozhark 5y agoAh, right, there's only one side of it.
- frankbreetz 5y agoHarriet Tubman was also a criminal and she is going to be on the 20 dollar bill soon. Sometimes the law is wrong.

I wish more people in his position (in the US, Russia, and everywhere else) would be as brave as he was. Nobody should just obey the law or follow orders. That's what made all the greatest atrocities in our history possible. Regardless, there is no 'rule of law' when the government sees you as its enemy.
