do you honesty believe that Putin would allow him to live as long as he has in Russia without some form of cooperation? I mean, the guy outlived the “thorn in Americans side” trope about five years ago.

No, I think the NSA are still embarrassed.

The only logical conclusion I can come to is that he’s selling strategic processes and how Americans think for his safety.

How many relevant strategic secrets do you think Snowden has after 11 years out of the game. Remember all his documents were passed to journalists. He retained none.

Tariff-a-Lago

Embargo-a-Lago

Cargo-a-Lago

Fiasco-a-Lago

Bravado-a-Lago

Avocado-a-Lago

His internal knowledge of the CIA and NSA gained as a contractor is an American liability.

That doesn’t necessarily make him a Russian Asset.

If your passport is cancelled and transport is blocked then you don’t get much choice over who shelters you.

Being an American liability doesn’t make you a Russian asset.
