Snowden, and Greenwald by extension, are perfect examples of how being right about one thing doesn’t make someone right about everything. I also have serious problems with how Snowden chose to whistleblow, though the actual whistleblowing was necessary.
There were a lot of options for non-extradition before Russia. Even the route he took when he fled doesn’t make a ton of sense unless he’s selling the information to America’s security competitors. My guess is he genuinely believed in leaking the information and he got paid to do it by one or more foreign countries.

Snowden was a hero. Though, seeing him endorse RFK Jr. was a little questionable.

Definitely made a deal with the devil. I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same in his shoes though, and I’m as anti-Russia as they come.

I’m beyond fuzzy on the details. I’ll have to read a refresher honestly.
the pardon talk may have influenced him on that.
Yeah Snowden disclosed important information in a responsible way; I don’t question his intentions. Assange on the other hand…

That will be much more relevant in the coming days. Remember, autocrats give no fucks about even pretending to not be doing those things.
What about decepticons?
