Do you really believe the court system works to determine innocence? Do you believe he would be guaranteed a fair trial? Do you think Manning got a fair trial?

Do you really believe the court system works to determine innocence? Do you believe he would be guaranteed a fair trial? Do you think Manning got a fair trial?
Do you believe that by taking refuge in Russia he's "propping up" their government? How?
Do you believe that giving up a 6-figure salary and life to expose violations of the US constitution is an act of a coward?
Are these opinions harbored by real people, or is this a troll?
- Grue3 13y agoI believe he'd get a more fair trial than Navalny and Khodorkovsky did. This one is pretty much obvious. It is a massive PR win for Putin, looking at uninformed online comments such as yours. I believe he's paid much more by Russian intelligence services for all the secrets he has "exported". The last question doesn't even deserve a response. If you're this closeminded, you shouldn't argue on the Internet at all.
- Peaker 13y agoHow is Russia not giving fair trials relevant? You suggested he throw himself at the american system, which we both know won't give him a fair trial but will torture him and throw him to jail for the rest of his life whether he's guilty by law or not. And yet you suggest this should be his course of action. You realize this is ridiculous right? Everyone understands Snowden is hiding in Russia to avoid torture by the US. Everyone also knows Russia does worse than NSA things. There is no contradiction, and trying top highlight a contradiction smells of dishonesty. You believe he's paid but you have zero evidence for it. Russia gains virtually nothing from it, Snowden can't live a normal life for the rest of his life. Would you be content with the NSA continuing illegal oversight and building a total surveillance society?
