I’m certain Snowden will still get the royal treatment from Russia, but at the same time they could claim they are following legal procedures in regards to the asylum request. That way they can have their cake and eat it too. Meanwhile it makes Barry look like a global bully. Barry’s getting played big time.
F-L-E-X-I-B-I-L-T-Y-!
Putin today on it. He sounds like he couldn’t care less about how it appears.
“He dismissed American criticisms that Russia is helping Snowden as “ravings and rubbish,” according to Reuters, and told a news conference in Finland: “I myself would prefer not to deal with these issues. It’s like giving a baby pig a haircut: There’s a lot of squealing, but there’s little wool.”
Demonstrating Barry’s weakness and totalitarianism is all they want.
Suppose the Russians upped the ante by staging a fake drone strike on the airport...narrowly missing Snowden but causing much collateral damage...
A lot of people are already angry with Zero for the drone strikes. Russia could make him look even more childish and dangerous... hard to believe that’s possible though....

Then you don’t know Putin.
