Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor who leaked information about U.S. surveillance programs, swore an oath of allegiance to Russia and has collected his Russian passport, his lawyer told state media on Friday.

first in The Washington Post and the Guardian newspaper in 2013, caused international shock waves and were among the most consequential intelligence breaches in U.S. history.He disclosed the existence of the NSA’s collection of millions of Americans’ phone records, a program later found by a federal appeals court to be unlawful and subsequently shuttered. The disclosures also damaged the intelligence community’s relationship with the American tech industry.

Snowden swore his oath and received his passport as Moscow continued its war on Ukraine, now in its 10th month. His lawyer, Kucherena,when Snowden was granted citizenship that he would not be subject to the partial military mobilization that Putin had decreed days before, since only men with previous military experience were being called up. However, it has been widely reported that many Russians without such experience have been summoned for duty in recent months.

The White House and State Department have not publicly commented on Snowden’s oath-taking and did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.fired at least 85 missiles on at least six major cities in Ukraine on November 15 , in one of the most widespread attacks of the war so far. The strikes came just hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking by video link, presented a 10-point peace plan to G-20 leaders at a summit in Indonesia. As in previous Russian missile attacks, critical civilian infrastructure appeared to be primary targets. Parts of several cities that were hit were left without electrical power on Tuesday afternoon.

Snowden is a Russian spy!

The Washington Post, eh?

Well... What else was Snowden supposed to do? Anybody thinking here? The US revoked Snowden's passport so he needed to get another one. Since only the US gov can issue US passports he had to do the only thing he could - get a passport of the cntry where the US grounded him

JuliaDavisNews See you at the front Snowden

Now tell us why. What did the US do which led to this happening. The news is much more interesting if you report all of it.

Seems like he didn't have much choice

So how long before Snowden is carrying a rifle in Ukraine?

Snowden and Assange are heroes

Excellent, then he can be drafted and sent to Ukraine?

Atenssion for ETHIOPIA there is amurder ruler in ethiopia right there is race cleaning call amhara under jenocider

Wo what ? He somehow rejected FACIST mindset and start work for common people. Talk the same tone when Dubai based Radicals help in plane crush of Washington twin towers . You hypocrite lumpen has completely give them freedom

Snowden defected to the free world.

Snowden exposing crimes was brave. Sadly russia is where he ended up. A man with no passport until he became a citizen of russia. USA should pardon him.

He can be drafted now.

He swore an oath to our government but that didn't stop him

Like he had a choice. This is on the US and UK.

Now it’s official - traitor. He swears allegiance to a country because he was mad that the US might have invaded someone’s privacy. Yeah, that makes sense. Traitor!

A passport to go where? if he leaves Russia he's gonna get arrested and extradited back to the US. just another fool playing talking about something THAT WAS ALREADY public knowledge. There aren't enough terrorist in the world to warrant the Utah Datacenter.

So Snowden exposes illegal domestic spying by the NSA, and he is charged with espionage.

Oh good! Now conscript his ass!

Well, that government DOESN'T want to kill him.

We knew he was a traitor. What the new information?

So now he can finally travel back home to prove he's innocent. Courageous man...

Now he can go in myanmar and ethiopia💪💪💪

Is he being mobilised by russia to be sent to the front lines to:

Well, it was either that or face John Brown's fate.

His demise will be soon!

He cant leave so why get a passport?

anneapplebaum Does this mean he will be conscripted to fight in the war?

😂🤣😂🤣. Enjoy life among the orcs in Mordor 😂🤣😂

Traitor.

It's a good act by Russia given the EU wouldn't help him! He is a hero and the massive surveillance - which many IT workers claimed existed but without success and with the US as the leader in violation of fundamental rights - Snowden confirmed with his documentation!

MaxBoot Anyone who becomes the citizen of another country swears allegiance to that country. But rather than say, 'Snwdn became a Russian citizen' they add a little spin.

We should ask for him back with Griner.

Loser Snowden

You mean, Edward Snowden, traitor who gave state secrets to Russia, right?

G7 countries just adopted a $60/barrel oil cap on Russian energy. An exceptionally hostile move, it sends a message to Putin that his career as 'our energy Czar' is over and he needs to take his business to other parts of the world.

Off to the front than. Good luck. Or check out Emil Czeczko.

Well it’s not like he can just fly home…….

Wow who could have seen this coming 🙄

So he can be mobilized!!

That's great.. Now he needs to revealed the dirty jobs done by Usa to 🌎...

You mean forced to since his native country wants to exile and erase him for telling his countrymen the truth about our liberties being infringed… our fore fathers would have already watered the tree of liberty again

When Russia falls, he will face justice.

he wants probably live a normal life again, good for him.

No one is surprised

When will he be invited to speak at CPAC?

Can you blame him? Have you not seen what the US is trying to do to Julian Assange?

What a crazy choice he has : becoming citizen of the Mordor or being in jail for life in the US

He needs a country to protect him, I doubt even Russia can

Immigrants literally do the same thing in America when they get their citizenship.

The alternative was probably extradition.

JuliaDavisNews I wonder what will happen if he starts leaking information from his new nazi host?

What a useless passport to receive. Poor bastard. What a terrible predicament and life. If there was any one place not to exile and swear allegiance, it would have to be 🇷🇺. I wonder if he’s acquired a taste for vodka. A 🇷🇺staple!

when will he be mobilised?

Oh look at what is going on with our brave guy Women Life Freedom IranRevolution

And this is also why ggreenwald has gone full on wacko and fascist lover too.

Scum. Still owes me a fiver.

It seems someone was right about his character!

Who cares he's on the wrong side of history.

Traitor , Russia is welcome to him !

Oh funnnnn!!! Will he be frontline fodder? 'Here's a weapon, now go!! Get out there and fight!!' Fuxxx sake. 🤪

LouisWitter What a tosser he turned out to be.

The truth comes out, he was/is a Russian spy, I hope his failure as a spy causes the Russians to send him to the Gulag or Ukraine.

This guy used free speech to point out that something ia wrong, and instead of thanking him, he is considered a spy and a traitor in the eyes of the US. It doesn't get more hypocritical than that, really.

Edward Snowden is a criminal, a traitor. He must never step out of the terrorist state of Russia's borders. Let him live there, outside here we haven't, won't and will never forgive him

And that says it all really. Snowden’s value as a Russian spy has been massively exceeded by his value as a Russian propaganda asset once exposed.

There’s no better place for him to do some real whistleblowing or anti-war protests.

Back to base.

LouisWitter Pauvre Snowden qui a été contraint de se réfugier en Russie pour nous avoir averti des menaces qui pesaient sur nous! On lui reproche cela maintenant, mais quel choix a-t-il?

LadyRed_6 you cheat your country, they ask for a passport to another country, what are the chances that you cheat that country too?

Since he has russian passport now, they can mobilize him and send dying to Ukraine.

Congratulations to Edward Snowden.

For all of America's many faults, a preference for Russia is still incomprehensible.

He doesn't know where he's gone

Now Snowden has the freedom he wanted. Wish him luck in his peace-loving, law-abiding new homeland.

A real scoundrel A real scoundrel

As soon as Edward snowden travels out of Russia he is a goner.

Is he now eligible for conscription?

I bet they mobilize him!

JuliaDavisNews Like he's going abroad anytime soon 😂🤡

Snowden is in good company!

Maybe he could vouch for Britney Griner 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Supposing that, Putin appoint him as a Russian representative to the United Nations. What will happen ?

I believe this is what Americans would call treachery.

He doesn't have much choice, US would brick him for life and Russia, well the irony here is it's more a surveillance country than the US... Oh well!

US, EU and Canada have transformed into a dictatorships, crushing human rights, following the technocratic, transhumanist, digital ID agenda of WEF. Biden is a puppet with memory impairment, Trudeau is a fascist dictator. Fight or flight response ✈️

traitor. even more now. wondering when they will draft him to be sent to Ukraine.

Setting an example for Trump.

US citizens are so indoctrinated to believe they have the freedom than other countries forgetting to believe that Julian assange, snowden and Chelsea Manning are castigated for the same freedom. We know others are killed before they see light of the day

Honk honk 🤡🤡🤡🤡

He's going to the frontlines then ? 🤡

Some people have a very twisted idea of what being a hero means. Snowden is a traitor and a wanker. Was he ever acting with America's best interest in mind? I don't think so. He sold classified information to 🇷🇺 One day he shall face justice in 🇺🇲

Who could blame him? In any sane world this man would have schools named after him and cities would compete for the chance to throw parades in his honor.

Nazi paid byputin

Snowden is now controlled and compromised by Russia. He certainly won’t be whistleblowing against Russia anytime soon… as he has no where to go. Such a sad life

Beware, you’re government is spying on all of you Destroy him Traitor Russian spy We live is strange times

TRAITOR.

JuliaDavisNews He had no other choice. He sacrificed his life in the US to reveal a scandal, and we should all feel ashamed about not forcing our governments to protect him, in countries supposed to be democratic…

JuliaDavisNews 'not a traitor'

International 🤡

That‘s great, now he can be drafted into the Russian army and sent to do his thing in the UkraineWar

elonmusk gets his when

This man’s a traitor and supports a fascist leader putin . Not long ago such would be shot for it

I don't blame Snowden, America is one huge scam

Snowden is doing what he must to survive. What a sad catch 22: despite popular opinion in the US and appreciation for what Snowden revealed, our govt cannot ever allow security breaches to go unpunished. I wish Snowden a life with some peace in it wherever he can find it.

Mobilised to Ukraine the day after 😂😂

Leaked? Come on. Snowden conveyed classified information to an unauthorized party, disclosed communications intelligence information, and stole government property.

but he’s totally not a traitor!

Good riddance....have fun with Vlad bending you over. Hope you've got comfortable knee pads 👍

he died a hero in ukraine

Whether for or against Snowden, most commenters are missing the thread: Did he have any choice?

Dude is major disgrace to the US and people calling him a hero. And he just swore and oath to Russia...... frickin Russia.

He’s gonna end up falling from a balcony…

Well, he was a traitor to the U.S., Russia might want to be careful about his oath to them

They can keep the traitor

Great job.

living long enough to see himself become a villain.

anneapplebaum Crappy consolation prize for not takig Kyïv.

Enough with this mccarthyistic nonsense, you corporate sellouts

Great, he’s eligible for the draft now, right?

Tragic. He could have faced the consequences of his action and fought for his cause within the framework of a democracy, as we know it, but instead chose to swear allegiance to a fascist, terrorist state, a declared enemy of his people, which is bound to fail…

Shocker

Snowden was always a traitor. Why so many failed to see that, I don't understand.

FuckingTerrorist

10DowningStreet RishiManchanda SuellaBraverman give him a British passport. The man’s a hero.

Is he going to keep tweeting US NatSec advice? Traitor

We knew he was a commie when he fled to Hong Kong, telling us: '..I didn't show them anything...' Tell us WashPo, why are you lefties so hot to convict Julian Assange, but happy to give Snowden a pass? (oh, the movie! the emotional hook of course!)

Poor guy…

Is he going to be drafted to Ukraine now?

Be careful Edward, russia kils their personal in the moment they are not useful any more

One way trip to Mariupol, to make sure he understands is one of the baddies and then zip him to the front lines.

Yuk!

One more fighter for Putin to head to Ukrain

A Democrat doing Democrat things

Touring soon in Bahkmut!

Well of course he did, either go back to America and go to prison or take the Russia citizenship offer and be a free man. He’s still a hero in my eyes

Enjoy your new country.

YOUR GONNA GET WHAT YOU DESERVE YOU TRAITOR !!!

A lot of people ended up eating crow on this one.

He should be charged as a spy and put to deathimo

He now qualifies for the draft. They could use his Intel expertise in Ukraine.

Time to get mobilised, comrade!

I wonder when Edward is heading to the front line?

Welcome to Third Reich! Maybe he would be mobilized soon and fight in Ukraine... U.S. can be not ideal but contemporary fascist Russia with war, torture and violence is still worse..

💩

jenga_ca His next stop will be the Ukrainian front lines !

Traitor. Now and forever

Good riddance! Russia can have him.

You mean conscript 'CannonMeat1776' aka Snowden?

I don't really care, do you?

Snowden is a traitor, yes nsa was spying on americans, Snowden gave up secrets of how we spied on every one. No country new how we were spying on them, American had the world in their palm, seeing and tracking anything we wanted from any country. This traitor gave it up, why

It is a shame that US did not give amnesty to this man. He acted out of patriotism. I believe that Obama knew better than to dishonor him. But he became a political hot potato. What a shame that Russia was the only place which would take him.

occupytheport Beats US pension

AndreRo51498847 Edward Snowden, un ancien sous-traitant de l'Agence de sécurité nationale qui a divulgué des informations sur les programmes de surveillance américains, a prêté serment d'allégeance à la Russie et a récupéré son passeport russe, a déclaré vendredi son avocat aux médias d'État.

That Edward Snowden is a despicable traitor & fan of corrupt murderous Putin. A pitiful lowlife.

Traitor ForeignAgent

will he be putin's covfefe boy? or will the draft pull him and his visa to the front? anyhow...

May they send him to the front lines of the war against Ukraine and may his head be blow off in under an hour.

He's being punished worse than a US jail - a lifetime sentence in shtthole Russia.

Conscript

Edward Snowden is dead to me now.

So he’s eligible for mobilization.

Sure! Does he had any other choices?! Just serving lifetime in the US right?! For revealing the truth. In contrary to this, a Russian life and passport is not a bad choice. He is just a private citizen now. Russians not equal with Putin.

Another gop showing his true colors

Well, shouldn't he be off to the front then?!

A spectacularly successful FSB operation. BTW, Moscow is quite cold in the winter. On an unrelated topic, has Donald Trump been arrested yet?

Snowden is 'anti-authoritarian' but ends up taking an oath and swearing allegiance to an authoritarian state? LOL, snowden are you going to expose the Russians? because if you don't then it says a lot about you bro. Snowden Russia

Not the country I’d choose, but if that’s how he avoids retaliation, so be it.

any other breaking news ?

Well WHO else would give the A Hole a passport? No one

Fucking coward and traitor!!!!

Traitor

johncusack This was in the cards long ago.

Oh….(droning voice) this is soooo surprising…oh, oh…

jenga_ca Traitor!

Snowden I believe to be an American hero.

JuliaDavisNews He’s getting mobilized. That’s why he was granted citizenship.

He can now be mobilized.

Traitor all along!

Maybe he will join the front in donbas soon

28delayslater So brave red blooded American. Much respect! 🙌

he is a russian spy

He would make a good mobit.

Continues and will always be a Traitor

TRAITOR

Everyone is hating on Snowden for swearing allegiance to Russia but let’s look realistically. 1. The US canceled his passport so he was stuck in Russia 2. The only way to leave a country is with a passport 3. In order to get another passport he has to become a citizen somewhere.

Il a pas le choix. Poupée russe ou pas, il n'avait pas le choix.

I wonder if Snowden will release Russia's security secrets? 🤔

yeah, serves him right!

Putin could use Snowden on the front lines in Ukraine fighting for his adopted Mother Russia.

He was obviously a Russian spy and foreign asset, unless he is a double agent spying inside Russia for USA.

Its funny to see all those „maga“ patriots defending snowden. He went to China first when he left the US , then to Russia. Its no coincidence . He gave them intel and was first and foremost , a foreign asset. Since he‘s now a Russian citizen , he can join the mobiks in UKR.

Snowden, Enjoy the country that has 25% of homes without indoor toilets!

He disclosed a massive surveillance program by the US government of its own citizens and world leaders. That's all you need to know.

anneapplebaum If true, his US citizenship must be revoked.

I continue to value his original surveillance disclosures, but if he gets out of Russia, homeboy better be able to prove the Russians tortured him or fabricated this.

Snowden, I must say, this unexpected sir! 🤣

Traitor edwardsnowden

A traitor then. A traitor now. He is on a list and will never get off until he draws his last treasonous breath.

Hope he likes beets and ill-fitting pants.

He knows Russia is much worse than the US but Russia isn't the one seeking his imprisonment.

Of course he did, Snowden worked for Putin all along!

Bye

When’s he going to the front?

Send him to the front line.

So sad!

Despicable what a vermin

Russians don't respect Traitors, either.

Next he will be drafted to fight in Ukraine.

Can you say Traitor?

Il a prêté allégeance à la Russie 😏

Looks like our spy is in place.

We should of gave him amnesty and welcomed him back as the hero he is!

coreypein So?

Next up: mobilization

Now i know why ggreenwald defends russia at all cost, they are all pawns of that system

Grateful he revealed USG crimes.

Time to go to Bakhmut then!

Enjoy your life in Communist Russia

Democrats love this traitor

President George W Bush set up the surveillance program in 2001 after 911. A Republican program that apparently went to far. Snows provide the program to Russia. He sold out his country & it is that action that is known as a Traitor & he should be imprisoned.

When does he ship out for Ukraine?

Really, not much of a reveal. Tell him not to stand still, or he’ll get mobilized.

People who know the truth on the matter approve of his actions. Those sucking establishment juice criticize him.

And NOW he is officially a Traitor. Should be charged with espionage. True colors have come out.

“Leaked information about U.S. surveillance programs…” You mean blew the whistle on ILLEGAL surveillance!?!

Oaths don't mean shit. Look at trump. That ended well

Congratulations Snowden for your oath of allegiance to Putin’s regime and your new passport! Will you now join Russian army and commit war crimes in Ukraine?

Good they deserve a good traitor.

He’s laughable at this point. Anything he was concerned about here is 100x worse there, but swear your allegiance lil guy.

No surprise there.

Now he’s official a traitor 🤷🏻‍♂️

Poor boy

I wonder when he's going to start working on collecting information on the atrocities committed by the Russian government...I won't hold my breath.

Not surprising but also true that it's US prison for life or declaring Russian loyalty. I think that's an understandable choice for most people.

JuliaDavisNews I hope he gets mobilized and send ove to the frontline.

When do they send him to the front lines?

The only people who support Edward Snowden are white supremacists who supported the war in Iraq.

jenga_ca Passport to nowhere 🤔

Can't wait to see him in that 'advanced' ruzzian uniform. XD

Gross.

Can't wait till he gets his mobilization notice

jamiegangel I look forward to him serving in Ukraine

Is he going to expose Russian secrets too?

Will he be drafted by the Russian army?

He was always the one under NSA investigation and he fled when he knew he was about to get hammered. Russia and China wernt going to risk their relationship with the US over an analyst with 2nd orn3rd hand knowledge of the program. He was the creator of the program.

OK, in this case. He has NO OPTION !!!

AvA4Bleue 🖕🤬🖕

Right on time for the second mobilization.

Who, aside from unserious gullible westerners, is surprised by this in the slightest?

Ships cabin boy on the Titanic.

If Russians come to the US and earn US citizenship, you don't vilify them, do you?

Or are you not allowed

He should be sent to frontline to fight for motherland

Do you cover hunter Biden

So did hunter

Have fun there…..cold as HELL 🥶

MaxBoot GD traitor.

How many people have 'fallen from windows' or had a premature 'heart attack' or been poisoned because of people like Snowden? Why would anyone defend his actions?

Now he has to join Russian military 😂Great timing!

28delayslater Obviously under duress 🤷‍♂️

exileoftza Perfect timing for the upcoming mobilization. mobilzeSnowden

JuliaDavisNews there he can enjoy free speech, transparence and so on

People think he is a traitor even if he gave his whole safe life for Americans and Europeans and got kind of a prisoner of russia. Whistleblowing is important and if the state does crimes but hunts you through the world for leaking it, then maybe there is something wrong

Traitor. That guy can go to Hell and anyone else that sympathizes with Russia.

JuliaDavisNews Traitor 😡

Who?

Wow...

Going to a nation which attack its neighbor, and jails anybody for any kind of news that doesn’t agree with Putin

Too bad he wasn’t locked in US prison. Hopefully Julian Assange will be 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Will he be mobilized to fight in Ukraine?

Unfollow Block

Russia has been better to him than his own country. Anyone with principles is an enemy to United States of Corporate America and a danger to their gravy train. I have more respect & admiration for Snowden & Assange than any of those crooks in Washington.

I have always regarded this guy as a traitor and a coward. He confirms it with this act, especially while Russia is murdering children and raping Ukrainian civilians. To the dustbin of history!

US could and should have pardoned him. He did nothing wrong in exposing the spying on law abiding citizens.

He was a hero. Now he’s a traitor.

Then {redacted} to him!!!!!

Why do the Podesta brothers art collection oddly look like the Balenciaga Pedo Ad campaign? Why hasn't the Epstein client list been released? C'mon WP... Silence is Complicity...

Putin is considering making him a general on the western front

He did this in 2012

beebsthegreat imagina ele é draftado pra lutar na ucrania

Minervasbard What took them so long?

I have always approved of what he's done, as I think it was in our interest to know what he revealed. But this? Why not Switzerland, or Germany? Or almost any other country? Russia? Putin? What the hell, Snowdon?

JayKayNor Off to the front!

I’m sure it’s awesome there in Russia with no spying on its citizens at all.

Wanted for being a traitor

Edward Snowden supports Putin killing Ukrainian kids

davetroy ggreenwald now it’s your turn Glen

But it was all about 'Freedom of Speech.' Fucking traitor.

yashar Interesting indeed...

It is not a fact that he is still alive at all. Russians don't like to mess with used, unnecessary material. And the fact that the lawyer says something for him - that's it. The KGB/FSB loves all kinds of shows..

Man flees to and swears oath to country that is guilty of all the stuff he complains about.

TimInHonolulu So LOUISEMENSCH_PI was right .

I'm sure trump approves it as well? After all, anything for mother Russia!

JaneLytv Can't blame the guy, but . . .

elieguckert Bon pour le service en Ukraine...

Russian draftee. See you soon n Ukraine. USA will be glad to accept you as a gift.

Double moralist with the lowest level since people remember!

Raskee Federaskee

And he'll die a lonely death there, like Kim Philby and the others.

What about his American girlfriend?

But is he still a US citizen? Lee Harvey Oswald got his US passport back and returned to the US.

lol

Snowden has become the cautionary tale for Americans who become convinced by the likes of the Guardian, the Intercept, Glenn Greenwalds and Assanges to become 'American dissidents in Russia.' There ain't no such thing.

Wanted to personally wish Snowden a pleasant stay in Philby’s old apartment …alas.

He say he will keep his US citizenship and raise his kids in Amerikan values. After 10 years in exile without a future to come home without lifetime sentence its not strange to prioritize your family!

The Washington Post is what happens to 'journalism' after the state kidnaps and prosecutes Julian Assange. FreeSpeech FreeAssange

All the republicans calling this dude a traitor yet supporting every last politician who supports Putin…

Amazon founder & CIA contractor Jeff Bezos bought for $250 million, a sum representing less than half the value of his CIA contract alone ($600M) and about 1/800th of his current wealth (~$200B). The Washington Post is a plutocrat's toy train set. Ignore it.

😱

You spelled 'traitor' wrong.

We the American people swear an oath that traitors will regret the day they ever tried to fuck us!

The American government is, according to, criminal and fascist. bravo Mr. Snowden, bravo Russia

He needs a ground level apartment now..

so he is a full Russian citizen now. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Edward.

As bad as I hate Russia right now, I don't blame Snowden. It's either that or come back to a shitstorm in the US where he will be whisked off to a supermax faster than instant coffee. Whistleblowers serve an important function in keeping a free society free.

Hope he gets mobilized...and stuck in Bakhmut area.

SoftyGMB A traitor is always a traitor. Mr Snowden is a traitor!

Good for him! Hopefully, he will never be touched by our sinister and terrorist intelligence apparatus.

Was he a mole all along?

Well again, he aware allegence to the US 😂. I would say his word don’t mean nothing.

Whatever your thoughts on the circumstances, this is disgusting.

If this is true, then now the attitude towards him as towards Russians - everything that he says should be understood exactly the opposite. Well, I'll have to remove Signal.

JuliaDavisNews snowden WHO? The citation in history books, nothing more. Not even worth mentioning him by name. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

He was always a complete scumbag. No surprise there.

They can keep the traitor.

We have our local Snowden roaming freely spewing lies and Seditious Speech. Stole hundreds of Secret Documents. Who knows whom they were sold to and still has his US passport and running for President. What Snowden did was wrong. Trump's deeds beat him 10:1.

How was this achieved...?

Wake up Ed, time for mobilization

America abandoned him not the other way around.

Will he be drafted?

He really didn't have much choice as he was denied asylum or residency elsewhere without being extradited to US.

I hope they conscript him.

The traitors always reveal themselves.

…are we just going to forget the hyperventilating hero worship by a particular breed of tech industry adjacents from that era then?

🤢🤮🤮🤮

….so is he getting drafted or just a publicly pawn?

does he get a uniform and if so what does the SharePoint medal look like

that will get Snowden a TuckerCarlson interview and high-5 from Fox's favorite Putin fanboy in designer loafers

apmastrangelo At least now we are certain of his true colors. Any bets on how long until Putin sends him to fight on the front lines in Ukraine?

Is that the picture of a happy camper? That face will not launch a 1000 ships. Apologies to Christopher Marlowe.

yashar Good fvcking riddance.

yashar When's he getting mobilized.

Who cares!

EWErickson Way to pick a winner, Edward.

JuliaDavisNews When does he go to the frontline?

Pick up Donnie’s while you’re there

JuliaDavisNews Time for vatnik Snowden to report to his Wagner battalion in Donetsk in time for the 'big push'

He is a whistle blower protected by the whistle blower act; he is also smart enough to know that he would commit suicide if he stayed here.

see you in Ukraine

I'm done taking him seriously now.

He was a Russian mole from the start,or

Wata bish.

Because the Soviets don't spy on their citizens... Snowden should have gone to Switzerland...they have a healthy distrust of their government there

Sworn allegiance at basically gun point, isn't allegiance. If you were told to say something you were against, and the consequence of not doing so was death or being sent to war which is a basic guarantee of death...you would say anything.

Oof.

Washington post shows it’s colours. Now list top US politicians who have made a similar oath to Israel. Lol

good. being an American is stupid anyways.

YOU MEAN WAS A WHISTLEBLOWER. Oh wait doesn't fit the narrative the CIA gave to you to publish huh?

Under coercion, no doubt. He's said repeatedly he would like to return home, but our government basically would jail him immediately. So, yeah.

Send his ass to the front-line then. Let him meet some Ukrainians.

Hail Snowden!

Well…yeah..he’s been their loyal guy for a long time.

He exposed horrific lies, tracking and spying by our own government on its citizens and he got arrested for it.... How is Russia any worse than the US? Especially in his eyes?

Now his treason is complete.

He betrayed us

Gee.. a true traitor move

I hope he is drafted

Scum. 🤮
