You can't really have it both ways. While I admire what Snowden did to expose abuses by the NSA, I also recognize that his credibility is severely tarnished by the physical location in which he currently resides.
Why must he be a saint? He did more than most will do their entire lives already.
Maybe if they would annotate who did which section. I bet Ritchie would never have done this.
Definitely related, he used the run up to the war to dunk on US agencies' predictions saying they were war mongering.
Not even two weeks before the war he tweeted: "There is nothing more grotesque than a media pushing for war."
Can you explain how US media pushed Putin to war in the run up to the war rather than just reporting very credible intel from US agencies? Which appears to be a crime in Snowden's eyes.

No but there's enough Ukrainians in my life who don't appreciate their country being invaded and subjected to genocide...
