  Yeah sorry I got confused, busy trying to find a paper map and some pins, and a maybe load of little aeroplanes and CIA figurines and one of those poker-chip-shoving thingies. If you look at the above-linked twitter feed, he's talking about it being 5 minutes from now. Imminent basically.

Vietnam! The plot thickens! I doubt Vietnam is relevant here. This visit was announced a week ago: http://talkvietnam.com/2013/06/top-ecuador-diplomat-to-visit-vietnam/ http://talkvietnam.com/2013/06/top-ecuador-diplomat-to-visit... "Vietnam will be Patino’s second stopover during his Asian tour. Besides Vietnam, he will visit the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore."

  This speech is not addressed to Hanoi or to the National Liberation Front. It is not addressed to China or to Russia. Nor is it an attempt to overlook the ambiguity of the total situation and the need for a collective solution to the tragedy of Vietnam. Neither is it an attempt to make North Vietnam or the National Liberation Front paragons of virtue, nor to overlook the role they can play in a successful resolution of the problem. While they both may have justifiable reason to be suspicious of the good faith of the United States, life and history give eloquent testimony to the fact that conflicts are never resolved without trustful give and take on both sides.

He confirmed that Snowden is in Russia. Maybe he wants to get asylum first before he leaves for Ecuador.
