As a Canadian I’m glad Snowden isn’t in any jail. He’s a true American patriot.

[johnpablo]

Shouldn’t even be surprise the US is always watching and listening

[WilliamPriceKing]

Edward Snowden rendered a great service to America and the world as a whistleblower. He is a true hero, in every sense of the word.

I'm a fan of Snowden. Thank you for helping make America aware of the governments ill intentions on its people!! America needs a revolution!!

Stand by both Snowden & Assange.👏💪

If my country betrayed me like it betrayed Snowden, I'd join the enemy too. If nothing else, just as a poke in the eye to my former government. If your country vilifies you for doing the right thing, what do you have left besides spite?

This is really Cold War all over again.

Julian Asange languishing in a UK jail for exposing USA war crimes

[mikejohn]

Assange should have ran to Russia instead of UK that answer to America

[iliasorokin]

Imagine a world where u have nowhere to run for just a truth, good that independent countries like Russia exist

[karakol]

Is Snowden of mobilization age? He has military and technical experience. Seems like the perfect candidate to me!

[Rainstorm]

nothing strange about getting citizens from another country

[timtim]

He deserves to be compensated. This citizenship is good for his security.

[lexmedved]

out of the frying pan, into the fire...credibility GONE.

[sergeantmajorzero]

Does this mean he can be drafted and sent to Ukraine?

[sharongillesp]

So basically Snowden did what the USA, Europe, and China are doing now.

[falco]

Yay go Snowden, but now he’s gotta whistle blow for the Russian people…

[arcetus]
