This guy done the world a service in my humble opinion

[david-bdtd]

freedom of speech would not be tolerated by US if it's against US interest ...
Asange, Snowden suffer the same fate ...

[jonaverage]

He exposed the US government breaking the law abusing US citizens. He should be given a medal!

[izzyboy]

"Face justice like every other American citizen...". There are are so many American citizens that hasn't faced any justice, but they should. A lot of them sat in the white house.

Congratulations to Mr. Snowden.
Most US citizens think of him as a hero.

[dcgirl]

Our government hates those that expose their corruption. Thank you Ed Snowden. Hope you will be safe in Russia.

[ouroborosbond]

Surely this man should be hailed as a hero for exposing the government?

[UniDeathRaven]

This guy fought for all of us. He sacrificed his own life so we could learn the atrocities governments all the world do to us.

there's a difference between whistleblowing and leaking secrets, but in US, either way will get you jailed for life.

Good for him, he is a living legend ❤

[WilliamPriceKing]

Snowden was the personification of the perfect whistleblower. He was a real hero in the true sense of the word.

[pakistanlostitstinylullahi]

He should’ve gotten “whistle blowers” protection in the U.S back then, but the Obama Administration hated “whistle blowers”. So much for transparency and accountability under the Obama Administration.

Thank you Russia for protecting Snowden's life

[rahulnaina]

We want Ursula democracy lectures, finland pm pole dance 😂😂😂

[beyourbest]

He should totally be part of the mobilisation…

2:26 To face justice for the freedom of speech that you claim to have, to face justice for the freedom of speech that got Julian Assange where he is today even as a journalists. Nothing is more crafty and cunning like Democracy and it's so called freedom of speech.

[Cchee]

I was wondering if he would be apart of the conscript

[mikebalkanski]

"To face Justice like any other American citizen!" !??? Wich of all the US- war criminals have ever faced justice!!??? Not a single one! Free Assange!!!!

[EliteLenny-Main]

I guess the world deserved more of Snowden. Sad that he's already behind Russian lines, but he's welcome anytime in my book for showing the truth about the communication metadata breach.

[Truthorfib]

A lot of people seems to say that Snowden is in danger or will be put in the frontlines. Perhaps assuming its safer and better to live in the West? Well, my answer to you is ask what about Assange? Where is he? So yeah judge Russia all you want but never forget what happened to Assange.
