Substack started so well... It was looking like the new Medium (after medium totally enshittified). But the discovery was never very good there, and now this. Nope. Not going to blog there.
I wonder if Snowden still supports them.
probably since snowden thinks putin is amazing
Does he really? I think it's more like he got stuck there on his way to Ecuador and now he has no alternative but to "like" Putin :P
After all his plan was never to stay in Russia.
i mean "Edward Snowden gets Russian passport after swearing oath of allegiance. Whistleblower is ‘happy and thankful to the Russian Federation’ for his citizenship, lawyer says"
I know.. But the point is, he's stuck there.
He had 2 choices:
- Play ball and swear his oath and suck up a little to the godfather and live happily ever after
- Kick up a stink against Putin and find himself falling out of a closed window (or, best case, being deported and spending his days in a max security prison).
It's not really like "free will" applies here :)
Whatever the lawyer said is just the minimum required decorum IMO. Just politics. The oath is probably simply required to get the passport.
Putin got to get one-over on the US and Snowden got to stay out of prison (well, in reality a really huge prison but still...). It's a marriage of convenience.
