Я тоже наблюдал, как на это реагировал Путин.
Путин работал в спец службах.
И это воспринял иначе.
Путин воспринял, что Эдварда Сноудена пытаются забросить в Россию в качестве шпиона, как наживку для того, чтобы Путин попытался его завербовать.
И что он может ложную информацию давать.
Ну и работники спец служб не любят предателей, любых.
Но Путин стал действовать не стандартно.
Он категорически запретил пытаться Сноудена вербовать и вести на эту тему разговоры.
А то, чем Сноуден занимается, нашей стране вторично.
К нему отправил известного у нас юриста для связи и решения вопросов.
Предоставил ему убежище, как борцу за гуманитарные проблемы.
Трамп говорил об Эдварде Сноудене, но выдать его невозможно из-за личной репутации Путина, а сам Эдвард Сноуден желает вернуться в США, когда с него снимут обвинения.
Так, что это к нему вопросы.
Иногда о нем есть инфо, но редко.
It is understandable that defectors would not be trusted. Sometimes, they have valuable information but obviously, everything must be taken with a large grain of salt. I have also heard Putin speak about this and of course, he denies that Snowden has shared anything. Let me just say this: If I were leaving my country and I had secret information I wanted to share, I would expect to be "debriefed" by the special services in exchange for the favor of asylum. This is true for defections between any two nations, this is universal.
I remember the story of the chess player Bobby Fischer and how the United States wanted to lock him up for playing a game of chess in Yugoslavia. The President refused to pardon him. Ironically, many were urging him to participate in the chess competition for reasons of patriotism. Right after the United States finished gloating about the Fischer chess
, they put an arrest warrant out for him. Even the Soviets would not have punished someone for bringing glory to the country during a brief visit to play a game of chess.
Back in 1992, we had riots in the city of Los Angeles based upon negro outrage at the acquittal of corrupt police who beat a man named Rodney King to within an inch of his life for no reason. The only reason the crime was noticed was because someone staying in a hotel which overlooked a rural stretch of freeway happened to be testing a camcorder and pointing his camcorder toward the highway because he noticed the police activity. The police were consequently charged but acquitted despite video evidence.
There was a great deal of mayhem because of the resultant riots including $1 Billion in property damage and dozens killed. The Los Angeles Police Department abandoned the city and shop owners were left to protect their businesses themselves. A man named Reginald Denny was beaten and suffered permanent brain damage when two angry negroes broke into his tractor trailer when he was stopped at a red light. The entire incident happened to be captured by an orbiting news helicopter and was seen by families across the country watching the news in their living rooms, entirely uncensored, in real-time. A passer-by disrupted the attack and rendered aid, saving Denny's life. A great deal of outrage surrounding the Denny incident cemented in the minds of many that the negro cannot be trusted. Police departments began carrying semi-automatic weapons after the 1992 L.A. Riots.
Fast-forward to 2020 and we had more riots, this time in multiple cities. We still don't have a damage estimate for these riots because they refuse to release the information, but it must have been far more than $1 Billion. These riots saw three different "Reginald Denny"-type incidents. The difference this time? The rioters who beat the truck drivers claimed, after beating the truck drivers, that the truck driver attempted to "run them over with their truck." The police believed them and charged the badly beaten drivers with crimes. One driver spent the next year and a half fighting attempted murder charges despite being the victim of a crime.
Here's a secret: Donald Trump had a number of secret Twitter accounts, one of which was under the name "ffe3301" where he posed as a comparatively low-ranking member of our intelligence community. On this Twitter account, he suggested that he would not federalize the National Guard to stop the riots of 2020 because he hoped that the Democrat governors of the individual states would be blamed. This backfired as he was showing weakness and lost credibility with his base. Trump is not politically shrewd.
When Twitter (back when Jack Dorsey ran it) decided to ban Trump from Twitter, they also banned the secret accounts. The media never reported about the secret accounts but Twitter would have known about them because they banned them. When the Al-Baghadi raid was going on and Baghdadi was trapped in the tunnel, it was reported that he "blew himself and his wives up" in the tunnels. The truth was that Army Rangers used concussive charges to collapse the tunnel with him inside. The ffe3301 account made an allusion to "the walls caving in" at the same moment the raid was going on, a raid which was not reported on television for many more hours.
