- skwirl 13y agoI would not because I (and any reasonable person would) consider the odds of a change of the form of government itself in the United States to be so remote to not be worth mentioning. In the case of Venezuela, their constitution is only 13 years old, Nicaragua's is 26 years old, and Bolivia's is only 4 years old. The systems in these countries frequently change and are likely to do so again within Snowden's lifetime.
