PS We notice that, whilst you were very righteous in publicly commenting on the US' wrongs, you've been very quite since your new country (since now you have citizenship) invaded Ukraine. What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Where's the moral grandstanding you had a decade ago. I guess it's not so easy to speak out when the government may actually kill you and not just prosecute you. What a cowardly, double-standard douchebag? 2A0A:EF40:255:A501:2AE3:B6AC:BC8E:1D2B (talk) 00:33, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Putin's war

Now that Putin ordered all Americans out of Russia, will Snowden have to leave as well? 2001:56A:74D2:7D00:AD2F:AB0F:6DE1:4C06 (talk) 20:13, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly, given that it has not happened, no. Worth noting he had a different legal status with residency than most Americans in Russia. He has since become a dual citizen.

More seriously, I removed the sentence saying he could be conscripted, because the source didn't even state that. The source referenced an American political appointee speculating that. The same source then references a non-speculative source, the Russian government, that he would not as he lacks military experience. OR, but he is also above the conscription age in Russia, by 12 years. I don't like the war either, but don't frame the speculation of a US Department of State Spokesman's speculation (which is a form of propoganda, literally his job) as definitive when it is discounted within 30 seconds. Do better. 50.101.105.130 (talk) 16:10, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
