some people will form entire hypothetical arguments like "what if" even when no facts are available for them to use as supporting evidence.

it's okay to not respond to them.

He was the guy who leaked the video of American soldiers murdering civilians, right?

That was Manning, who was rewarded with years in solitary confinement, perhaps the reason why Snowden opted to flee the country.

I forgot what Snowden did then. A lot of people leaked a lot of stuff. Hard to keep track.

His leaks have revolved around government surveillance, particularly of American citizens, including wholesale collection of their telecommunications data for mining purposes.

Both Snowden and Manning's actions were courageous, and the American people shat on them

Americans are more likely to hug the nuts of crooked politicians (So long as they have their preferred letter next to their name) than have praise for patriots acting in their best interests

irony. he exposes american injustices and war crimes then flees to a country well known for more extreme cases of both.

It is the long con. Deep cover double agent.

That's right, I remember now. Cheers.

Time is a funny thing. There is always too much of it, except when you need it the most. Then there is never enough.

probably because he was super willing to show the "corruption" of the left but literally cowered like a scared puppy when it came to the right, despite outward stating that he had dirt on the right as well

he was a complete pussy. afraid to take the heat? don't make yourself a big name. hes just another russian puppet like trump at this point.

he's complicated. on the surface what he did was "for the people". however he almost got some US soldiers and agents killed by letting out their secrets. also, it is not a good look that he fled to Russia, of all places.


The only reason he got stuck in Russia is because Secretary of State Madame Hillary canceled his passport while he was in Russia. Snowden is an American patriot and hero.

I think you are thinking of Assange.

Assange leaked plenty of Bush-era material. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up developing a partisan streak as a result of the Obama administration pulling all kinds of strings in an attempt to extradite him for it.
