Couple things. First, there is absolutely no proof that Snowden gave anything to the Russians or the Chinese. His material was all encrypted and there is no proof that any state actors obtained anything that he didn’t release publicly. Even if the information was taken from him as an end result, he certainly didn’t intend for that result. I cannot consider him a traitor in any circumstances. Second, why would you assume he is “drinking himself to death”? He lives in Russia with his wife and child. He has a good job and probably an extremely high quality of life.
>Even if the information was taken from him as an end result, he certainly didn’t intend for that result.
He willingly put himself under their total power with something valuable to give just by telling a string of characters.
Obviously he told them the password! Even great men wouldn’t be able to refuse it under torture and Snowden was always a weak shitwingler.
So, you’re saying the Chinese and Russians let him hang around because they were feeling generous.
