…you just reposted the quote I gave you implying he doesn’t support that war and wishes he could actually say it more bluntly. And the first link I mostly read and found nothing like what you wrote about it being a “psyop”.
Fleeing life in prison or execution in a hurry doesn’t determine one’s principles. I find that a weird claim.
I will look at the other links but so far this has been…disappointing.
Snowden essentially sacrificed his freedom to show that the US government is spying on its citizens. If anything were to imply principles, that would be it.
