I've been there numerous times (I remember the '60's Olympics, when the announcers typically said, 'how can our beautiful American women compete against those humongous & visibly 'manly' women of the SovierUnion'. Fucking CIA lied!!). I have no problem with Snowden.. he is a man of his convictions. But the funny thing is, why does he re- dip his toe into the political waters if he thinks he is to remain "healthily" unscathed. Ideally, he should flee the political lights & go do a DrZhivago into the tundra of Siberia. He is allowed safe passage as long as he is indispensable to V.Putin for their propaganda purposes. Kind of weird to see ex-pats/ malcontents/ whatnot citizens of dubious character flee to Russia, "the motherland of all things freedom". Political Russian people get the Putin 'kiss- of - death'. Now Snowden has joined StevenSeagle, a woman's man whether she wanted him of not. Stellar company. I am currently living in the Balkans (civil war in the '90s fame). I am thinking very few people here have a positive opinion of Russia.. they do not like communism, they do not like thugs (still, quite a few here. Mafia too). Most people are bi- lingual, have friends, relatives, know of the 'civilized' world, of which Russia is not considered part of here or in that matter, in civilized Europe.. anywhere with people that have a brain to reason well, or for that matter, sweet butter now enjoyed with their daily bread. I'd be hard pressed to enjoy living under the auspices of any which one... Putin, Lukashenko, Bolsonaro, Erdogan, anywhere Arabia.. fuck the backstabbing SaudiArabians. And now it seems as if XiJinping is tightening the China grip.. maybe good for benevolent & happy Chinese citizens, for all other nations/ people, no. And, let us not forget the Hitler loving dTrump.. the "stable genius". He redefined the meaning of the word "Asshole". But then again, BiBi is out of office, the Israeli hacking spyware is, put it nicely, highly disruptive anywhere & whenever in the world. Good people are killed with that software.. I'm thinking the worst for any journalist, citizens of good conscience, maybe just people on the street that look a little suspicious.. not usual- local. I carry with me a few "get- out- of- jail" Monopoly cards.. $20US. I'm still alive & well, free & happy. .
