I can't help but laugh at the thought of the US warning anyone now. Just can't.

Obama should threaten to send Carlos Danger after him.

[Revolting cat!]

Don't laugh!

It won't be too long before we are going over the wall to gain freedom, in Russia. How the heck did we get like this?

I fully expect Pooty Poot to lose lots of sleep over receiving such a strongly worded letter from some junior state dept. supernumerary. /s

Nice RE-SET ya got going there...!

I guess Putin’s big F-U today wasn’t clear enough for the morons now running our country.

[Bullish]

What difference, at this point could it possibly make?

Putin only needs to point out that the USA offers the same right of asylum. Per Wikipedia:

The United States honors the right of asylum of individuals as specified by international and federal law. [...] Asylum eligibility has three basic requirements. First, an asylum applicant must establish that he or she fears persecution.[2] Second, the applicant must prove that he or she would be persecuted on account of one of five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, and social group. Third, an applicant must establish that the government is either involved in the persecution, or unable to control the conduct of private actors.

Snowden:

1. Fears persecution, and that has been already proven;
2. Is persecuted for his political opinion. Technically what he did is a crime, but many political refugees are charged with some crime by their governments - it's always illegal to oppose the dictator.
3. The US government is directly involved.

This is in accordance with UN agreements on human rights. Perhaps if the USA and Russia had a mutual agreement on extradition then things would be different. But then Russia would ask for extradition of many characters, shady or not.

Oh dear, Obama threatens to no longer shine Putin’s shoes.

Stand your ground, Russia.... stand your ground.

Oooooooo! I think Russia may be put on double secret probation by FUBO! In every way imaginable, FUBO is Putin’s bitch! Sad to say, but true nonetheless.

[dagogo redux]

What in Sam Hill is a “diplomatic crisis”?

[Conservative4Ever]

Ooooooo....US warns Russian. I’m sure Russia is quivering with fear!!! NOT!!!

[hosepipe]

I almost envision Putin saying come over here and read this!..
Pour a couple of glasses of vodka and laugh like being tickled..

Russia wants Eddie Snowden.

Or at least the famous red-headed Russian spy Anna Chapman does ...

Anna Chapman

Her daddy was high up in the KGB.
