He did the wrong thing for the right reasons and hasn’t made many right choices since.

He really ought never have been a hero.

[prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works]

Russia killing him is probably the only thing worse than them having him in the eyes of the USA.

Only we get to persecute/prosecute our own, its a mindset most sovereign nations have fwiw.

Was this written by AI? The headline word salad contains all the buzzwords.

Whistleblows on poor performance is actually insane lol

[alphane_moon@lemmy.world]

No, he had a choice to keep quiet, but instead he chose to support russian genocidal imperialism. That makes him a bad person.

He is a PR win for russia, they are not going to harm him as that would undermine their interests.

[alphane_moon@lemmy.world]

Treating him as a saint; because he revealed the NSA stuff, all his subsequent actions are justified and he should not be subject to criticism.

This is an extremely common view in some part of the English speaking internet.

I reject this approach. As far as I am concerned, I hope him and his family get to experience what they the wish upon Ukrainians in the occupied territories (getting sent to to a torture camp for speaking Ukrainian).

So now we care what Edward Snowden says about vram? We need him to tell us that it should be 24 gigs?

[800xl@lemmy.world]

Yeah, I thought the same thing too at the time and that's why I wrote it off. But the problem is that knowing how Putin is and what he does, what makes you think that he would let Snowden stay there in Russia without demanding any of that information as payment?

And if Snowden was so hard up for places to go that he had to go to Russia to escape extradition to the US what position would he be in to even say no if Russia demanded it?

Think about it. If someone came to the US to escape persecution in Russia for whistleblowing, you can damn well believe the US gov't would demand info. They brought all those Nazi rocket scientists over to work rather than sending them to prison because of the knowledge they posssesed. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Edward Snowdon reads a spec sheet

[800xl@lemmy.world]

Is that the reply you meant to write? Why don't you try again, but think first.

Snowden goes to Russia and there's no way Putin is letting him stay there without demanding that information.

If the shoe is on the other foot, the US would do the exact same. They brought Nazi rocket scientists over after WW2 and had them continue their work rether than putting them in jail to rot.

What is even this ?

[poddus@discuss.tchncs.de]

That headline is so stupid that I refuse to read the article

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

Were you there? Were you privy to the circumstances? It could very well be the case that he was threatened. We don't know, I just think it's super sus that he started spewing pro-Russia nonsense only after his importance uncovering US govt documents was waning.

I think it's highly likely he was pressured to make those statements.

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

all his subsequent actions are justified

You're putting words in my mouth. I'm saying his actions are understandable. He has no chance of returning to the US, his only real chance at a somewhat normal life is playing into Russia's hand.

Whether someone thinks those actions are justified is an opinion. I'm merely stating the most likely explanation for his actions.

As far as I'm concerned, his usefulness to Americans concerned about government spying ended as soon as he exposed internal NSA docs. Everything else is merely him trying to survive. Make of that what you will.
