But Barry’s claiming Russia helped Snowden spy. If they granted him political asylum it would appear as if these spy allegations might be true. So it would be more foolish to grant him asylum while these charges are on file, but to return Snowden to the US would also appear as an admission of guilt too. So it’s best for him to remain in the transit section of the airport, perhaps for the rest of his life.
That’s silly. Obama “claiming” something is ridiculous as a standard of the seriousness with which it must be handled. As for living forever in an airport, the Russians are currently big on common sense. Like no new mosques building in Moscow, a ban on homosexual propaganda, no adoptions to countries that allow gays to adopt.
They would have no problem whatsoever granting asylum for humanitarian reasons, and then allowing Snowden to release more info on how the NSA (US Military) is spying domestically like the Stasi. As for the accusation that they are behind the “spy” allegations. Snowden has been revealing that WE are the targets of the snooping.
He’ll stay there and find a nice woman, and start writing is my guess. This might get fun.
