Great for him that he live in a civilized part of the world right now.

The man is a hero and should be home with his family.

[Meandme]

You are a citizen of the best country in the world bro.

Who takes the MSM news seriously anymore? Patrick Lancaster and New Atlas and Snowden knows what really happening in the world

[chrissupport]

Cool.. and since he's under 65, is just in time to be drafted! MRGA!!

Man, Putin is really looking hard for people to draft.

[thebiblicalprophetbrando]

He was telling the truth. All is forgiven. Yeah he helped me and man kind. This guy confirmed some of the stuff pertaining to the prophecy.

[Darkness-bljf]

He turned to the dark side of the force.

[kayeerdmann]

I love Snowden. He is far from a traitor in my eyes.

[ozymandias]

[lassekvannli]

I guess he fits all the criterias for being mobilized?

[jaggarcia]

Oh wow.... He became a citizen just in time for the draft in Russia... "Congratulations Mr new citizen. Now go and fight for your new country..."

[sannefridolin]

Snowdon is a good man, the US is stupid to prosecute him. They should be thankful. I am

“ And here’s your new uniform, Mr. Snowden, now please fall in line. Your bus for Ukraine leaves in 1 hr.”

[majorseventh]
