You mean reasonably regard as adversaries based on what you hear on the TV spouting pro-american propaganda.

Who cares, honestly. Nobody's going to try and extract secrets from him. 1) he's clearly a true patriot 2) if he were to suddenly disappear in some "enemy" country, it would surely create huge public uproar. It's all public now. 3) As the comment above said it - the only ones that can fight the us are, mostly, its adversaries and truly independent countries.

Yep. Since I put that comment up, the news has suggested he's doing the right thing after all. China & Russia don't seem to have a better play here than letting him in and out fast enough to make it clear he didn't have to spill secrets to them in private conversation in return for aid -- thus preserving his credibility to generally embarrass US intelligence.
