Putin gets to show Snowden off and show what America does. Snowden doesn’t have to say a word. His very existence is enough.
Yep he has nothing to offer Putin.
@@angelaconner3131 his very presence is the greatest tool .
🔥🔥🔥
@@Eyesofmars2040 true
Beautifully put!!
One motivation of Putin that nobody's mentioning is what a middle finger to the US it is to keep Snowden alive and well. And the fact that he can successfully keep Snowden safe is a flex of Russian power to stand up to the US. The reason the US is so adamant to get Snowden is not because he continues to pose any actual threat to the government. Punishing Snowden would be entirely symbolic, just like giving him asylum is entirely symbolic.
How so? Snowden was a low level peon, working for a contractor to the US government. It's not like he led the NSA or anything more than a lemonade stand.
Well said
BINGO!
Putin doesnt care about America or giving them the finger, hes a top G
absolutely .. it was time the democrats got a taste of their own bullshit .. Putin was and is despised by the elites .. this was a protective fuck you .. and despite what many believe Putin is actually interested in running his country not raping the world
Edward Snowden and Julian Assange are true heroes, they rock
@@illdrumatik391Wow could you get any more delusional 😂
I wish Assange went to Russia too...he'd be safe ♡ Russia is at war with US anyway..nothing to lose
Julian Assange was an idiot, he was a pawn who's ego was used against him creating subversion in the west
Well, yes and no. On October 26, 2023 the CIA did almost succeed in assassinating my brother. Putin has been protecting Oleg Tsarev since 2014.
It’s simple. The Russians knew Snowden’s story itself does more damage to the US. So by keeping him protected it keeps the story alive which ultimately can help their cause which is to help the decline of trust people have in the US on a global scale.
the Russians do not have to do anything to make people lose trust in the US - the US admin with the various lies and coverups now being exposed about the vax, ivermectin etc. has shown it true colors.
Wouldn't say it's simple but I hear what you're saying.
already done...
They just let him live there because he is a human being like many others...
@@Btrutaltruthengage your brain little man.
Putin was asked once in a Russian forum: "Why do you protect Edward Snowden"? Putin answered: "I want to protect democracy". I thought the answer was brilliant.
Putin is a badass
Exactly. Snowden is a perfect example of the U.S. government's hypocrisy always calling out the totalitarianism of other countries while crushing its own dissidents.
Lol okay yall commie lovers.
Having snowdon is like having the key to Fort knox. You just dont through that away.
Well said 👏
Exposing a crime cannot be treated as worse than the crime being exposed.
That's how America works now.
Well said codyvandal 2860!
It can and it is. We are ruled by criminals.
But he told our secrets. He must be punished. I can’t stand our govt sometimes. If what he did was so bad, why hasn’t any trouble come from it
We need to organize guys!! Our ancestors would be ashamed of how we are cowardly sitting by
Seeing what these peaceful, gentle and kind leaders are doing with Julian Assange it might not be such a bad idea what Eduard Snowden did.
God Bless Edward Snowden , he is a true patriot and we thank him for his courage. I hope he is safe.
he a traitor and a looser
Snowden is a very unique American. He was protecting Americans. Not many people love their country like Snowden. God bless him and protect him.
Our wonderful hero..., please pray for him to be safe!!!! He deserves your prayer please!!!
Amen
You think he still considers himself an American?
@@sunnyokoro
If you listen to his former interviews, he says that he does.
Probably not now
Snowden never betrayed his country, so he broke no trust. He was dedicated to protecting the US constitution from all enemies, foreign or domestic (our government).
Snowden didn't betray the United States
The United States government betrayed America
Lot of Boomers disagree...
@@yharnamiyhill787it was boomers whom got all of us in this "pickle" as boomers say, so they can F emselves

As an American I trust both Putin and Snowden
I'm glad we sanctioned Russia because the whole world now knows who is the smartest and most strategic president in this vast world
yeah remember when nato said they wouldn't go passed Germany ? America will be on the bad side this time around
*I dont know Snowden. I know enough about Putin to trust him based on conditions.*
Russia has created far less women and children d-tolls in 2 plus year of war opposed to Israel(US FUNDED) in 3 plus months..."are we the baddies?"@@thetruthchannel349
Hahahaha as a Canadian me too hahahaha😂😂❤❤
The moral of the Snowden story is that the enemy is within.
Amazing how our gov wants to jail Snowden for doing the right thing.
If they wanted him in jail, he’d be in jail…
Not amazing if you knew who actually runs our gov.
You're an NPC. Snowden sold out national security secrets to foreign enemy countries for his own self gain. He didnt JUST expose surveillance culture. Actually educate yourself instead of worshipping a national traitor off of incomplete information you got from social media
@@tylergooden2183The entire reason that he is still in Russia is because the moment he stepped foot outside of Russian soil, he would be apprehended by Interpol or US authorities and thrown in a US prison after being tortured. What are you even talking about dude? Did you listen to a word that Glenn said in this video?
So confidently wrong, you're a certified 🤡🤡🤡
You and the Government have very different idea's of "doing the right thing".
Snowden is a hero. We should have statues of him in DC. It’s disgusting that he hasn’t been able to come home with a medal around his neck.
Correct. A collection of fascist terrorist organizations cannot abide a genuine patriot; he exposes the fact that they are not said patriots, and are instead fascist terrorists. That is why they want him gone.
The USA is an evil empire.The good citizens should be BRAVE and demand to live FREE from Big brother and what is FORCED on them.
NOW is the time for the US to shine .
Snowden will have his day of glory. Hold the line patriots. The time is coming.
You're an NPC. Snowden sold out national security secrets to foreign enemy countries for his own self gain. He didnt JUST expose surveillance culture. Actually educate yourself instead of worshipping a national traitor off of incomplete information you got from social media
Snowden is modern day Benedict Arnold.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” simple as that.
Congratulations to Glenn Greenwald for taking a tour through the McCarthy and paranoia playground Greenwald was very skillful in making his points and allowing us to take the full tour
Glen is spot on with this. Putin was able to give the U.S. the biggest middle finger the U.S. has ever received in the country's history.
More Or Less !!!
It’s not a middle finger to Americans. It’s to the globalists.
Put an knows more then your average American.
I'm glad he's protecting him the leaders we have in the US are horrible!
@@hippie2348 i am with you
I don't know about that. I think the invasion of Iraq was the biggest middle finger to USA in my memory. So much death and destruction, so much money wasted to accomplish those evils, careless admissions it was all based on lies, and none of those responsible are punished for it... That's something Putin could never achieve.
Snowden is a symbol. He is like a Holy Grail, simply having him around, without revealign any information, gives both huge boost to country image. Simply denying him to US, shows that Russia is not a US puppet and is not afraid of it.
sjent.........THANK YOU!!!!!!! Why cant the interviewer understand that????????? By protecting snowden, Puttin can show the russian people that the usa government is corrupt and the russian government is the good guys. The propaganda that Puttin gets from protecting snowden is limitless.
Putin does not need anything from Snowden but he does show the world that Babylon America is run by Roman Catholic Nazi scum and their lovers.
Spot on!
He’s one of the people to really drop the bomb on the government and how they say one thing but do another and with. 100% full proof of the government’s doings
Aleluja
I’m sure Edward is watching this and we will get a true perspective on this from this hero at some stage.
Putin is not what the west makes him out to be,at least he can string two sentences together and Putin is ultra professional at his job, I respect both of these men and they should be enshrined in history for their efforts
Putin is hated by the same elites that turned America into a fiscal train wreck beyond repair, not because he has been bad for Russia... quite the opposite.
He is hated, to the point of figures like Biden openly talking about affecting regime change in Russia to "rescue" the Russian population from him, precisely because he took the Russian nation off its knees... he brought economic and political stability to Russia.
And he achieved this modest success in a sustainable manner... it wasn't financed by debt. Russia's national debt is extremely low compared to most Western nations.
If you believe Putin is an alternative then you believe that bears are an alternative to wolves. They are both predators. Whether US or Russian elites, both prey on their own people.
Putin is exactly what he is made out to be. A murderer and an authoritarian. So what he can string two sentences together if they're both lies. If Putin is enshrined in history it should be as one of the worst human beings to ever exist
Exactly. No leader is perfect, nor is any human being. Being a leader is not even comprehendible, it is such a challenge to take on. Your priority as the leader of your country is the survival of your people.
The biggest takeaway for me from this is that people in the west will never be able to understand that we simply approach things differently...Glen got to peer into it a bit,Scott Ritter is trying very hard to understand it and is getting a decent understanding of it, but the bottom line is, the number of attempts to convey a message via words to a person that doesnt live our culture will never suffice...you either come and experience it and then u understand how we do things and why we do them or you...keep having this approach that Patrick has and u have ur reasons for it,but to us it always has looked like and will continue to look like projection...you are taking what you have in your culture,what you expect of your people and your government,and you keep projecting it onto everyone else.
The thing that bothers me here is that people are either so open minded that their brains fall out,or they arent open minded nearly enough to grasp that some things are done differently in other parts of the world. You need more gray areas in your life.
Real blood here from the east sub Sahara equatorial region from TANZANIA I UNDERSTAND YOU 💪 I HOPE TODAY IS HAPPY BIRTHDAY OF OUR IRON MAN HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM
They don't understand that a lot of people outside US are not drive only by personal gain/money. Or not at all by it.
I agree, zero tolerance for other cultures. All must do what US says or Europe says.
I'm a Chicano from Los Angeles ( Mexican born in former Mexican states aka the South West ). This comment of yours is something that individuals like me mention when talking to others who are like minded. It's like people are so open minded out here about anything that " liberated them " ( which is really code for degeneracy and not being held accountable for your actions or judged by them ) but they somehow can't believe that there is still people that exist out there who have principles and abide by them for moral and ethical reasons.
Also, this Patrick guy is good when talking about making money and business but he also lives in Los Angeles. One of the most corrupt cities in the country on just about any level you can think of. Including government ! This also true about many citizens here although there is exceptions ( like anywhere else ). However, unfortunately the exceptions do not make up the majority within the population and therefore people in Los Angeles are very deceptive by nature without even knowing it.
As I said, I'm a Chicano 🇲🇽. Just look at the history of Los Angeles and what it has done to it's citizens and dive into the zoot suit riots between Chicanos and the US Marines here in LA. This should further let you know what you suspect or already know. Like many do 😏😒.
Regards to you 🤝
I will come experience it when I'm on the run from D.C.. Although I think I understand the invasion of ukraine to get nato of the border. Watching many documentaries on operation Barbarossa.
Its unfortunate that nobody took Snowden seriously and we are where we are now. He told us years ago what ass happening and now look at our country.
After 911, Congress passed the Homeland Security Act which gave the government unlimited rights to spy on people. This wasnt some secret that Snowden revealed, it was passed by Congress and everyone knew it, or at least should have known it!
our deep state is so fucked right now.
Bless Snowden and God please keep him safe!!!
The other guy too...Wikileak.
Who do you know that didn't take Snowden seriously, and what were their information sources?
Edward Snowden a true American Patriot and hero.
Edward Snowden one of the kind!
Just comparing Snowden with Assange treatment says it all!
They want to punish him for the truth. But they reward others for lieing. "Politicians"
Lying
I knew what the 1st reply would be before I looked🤪
ricky^ omg 🫵the man 👍
Snowden is a true Patriot, putting his life on the line to expose everything. Without him, we’d probably still be in the dark
Most people are still in the dark…. & the illegitimate government is still corrupt like hell
tell us you're a simp without telling us you're a simp. Snowden is a moron. Look up his real life scenario when he pissed it away and you will see for yourself. A high school graduate, living in Hawaii, making over $100k per year and he tossed it away. That's moronic, not patriotic.
He is? He betrayed his country and gave info and techniques to Russia! Am I missing something?
The problem is... Even after exposing everything, the government still does it and people can't do anything about it.
Four comments and none of them show up? I wonder why
Patrick really doesn't get how much other people hate the American Government out here, even within America itself. Sometimes an enemy of my enemy is a friend.
The truth is out there! Thank God for truthful people!

I think Snowden has shown himself to be honest and have integrity.
For betraying his country and exposing state secrets? ffs, I bet you think Stalin was an angel.
More integrity in his little finger than any dem in power or office right now....has in their whole body...😢
Glen Greenwald was very patient and straightforward under some pressure from PBD. Well done Glen and Snowden
Glenn had the best arguments, gotta give that to him and also brave af. Those Pulitzers didn't came for free.
I don't know of one human that dislikes Edward Snowden.
Only people that dislike him are gov't officials.
I know guys with legacy jobs at Lockheed Martin - with plush pension plans - that hate Snowden. But of course the gov’t is basically incentivizing them to be mindless drones.
Wrong!
Everyone that uses logic dislikes him, as he is a Clown, sent over by his boss Brennan to stir up Millitary inteligence. Did you ask your self how come he didn't publish a single method of gov overreach that happens in CIA only in NSA? That should give you the 1st hint
So government officials aren't human?
I don't like him and I'm not a government official
When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.
This is where Pat’s business side overshadows the fact that a statement can be.bigger than some trade off. Russia treating the most wanted man in America like a king is a priceless slap. If the roles were reversed, the US would totally protect a Russian whistleblower who was the most wanted man in Russia.
True but America wouldn’t be so transparent about it… America wouldn’t be parading him like that
Snowden is a true hero of freedom
People like Patrick find it difficult to believe that there are individuals out there who will not accept bribes to sell their soul like Snowden,
It's not that it's difficult to believe, it's just that most of the time it is probably not. People with good character and integrity are hard to find, so a good amount of skepticism is not that bad. I would rather be wrong in not trusting someone who hindsight turned out to be a good guy, than to regret trusting someone later on because they turned out to be a bad one.
Its difficult to believe because he never that guy
People like you find it difficult to believe that Russia is a dictatorship that will do anything to procure information about their adversary, which includes torture, assassinations and other inhumane activities.
Patrick sometime believe usa government propaganda machine
@@fisheyes9744That was well said. I wish I had said it first. I agree with you completely. When push comes to shove, only the paranoid survive.

I just loved the film and how he stuck it into the heart of the NSA... And continues to twist while Putin smiles at the West!
“Trust your enemy more then your ally”. That’s a good lesson men.
Much Respect To Mr. Edward Snowden. Love From Calif.
Snowden is a hero. Why doesn’t the government admit the truth of what they do to us in America. I’m a veteran and love my country I just know a lot of what the government is involved in including child trafficking
If they admitted the truth, they couldn't recruit cannonfodder like you to do their warcrimes. Duh.
If you think the government is collectively involved in child trafficking as official policy idk what to tell you 😂 of course there's sick individuals inside the government like every other facet of society
The deepest and most fked up conspiracy regarding child trafficking, after watching the full footage of bohemian Grove and George Bush said with his own lips in an interview when asked about The Skull and Bones society "its so secret we can't talk about it". Yes I'm talking about the infamous conspiracy, blood sucking satanic elites. These satanic worshiping fks takes children and wants us to think it's for pedo reasons (not only that), but it's mainly for occult status by drinking adrenochrome that temporarily keeps you young looking or sacrifices to LEGIT actual fucking entities (like the burned child you can see in the bohemian Grove footage). I'm not fkn joking and this is not a fkn comment to make shts and giggles. I'm actually being fkn serious and I have seen some pretty fkn weird sht during my days out in the streets.
You know the man so I would think you're probably right 85 90% right because people aren't always who they say they are but this man Snowden he sure is a good man
I enjoy watching your PODCAST, they very informative. Keep up the good work.
Love Glenn. He stood up to MSNBC beautifully. Tks for having him on
Greenwald!! YES! One of the best reporters on the planet. Thanks for having him on.
He's loquacious but fantastic
Thank you for these Talks.
I think Putin provided asylum to Snowden because he wanted to show the world, that despite deals being offered by other countries, especially from a powerful country like the USA, He would do the right thing and provide protection to a random individual, which in turn would lead to respect and appreciation from people from the entire world. I think Putin would consider sending him back to the US if he was offered something really great and big that would be more beneficial than the prestige of providing Snowden protection, I don't think the deal was good enough to incentivize him to give Snowed to the US. Moreover, it could also be worth noting that He knew what Snowden would face going back to the US, so maybe humanity also played a role here. The possibility of something else being on the table that we don't know is not excluded.
Dont think there was anything the US could have offered and was willing to offer to Putin that would be worth more than keeping Snowden safe
Oh there are plenty just not worth it for US@@justhair17
No, guys.
Not Putin, but Snowden choses his destiny.
@@justhair17i must agree because all the deals they have made so far that we know about US didn’t keep up the end of their bargain so He wouldn’t trust them again… even the war in Ukraine, peace talks and Russia pulling out after two months and then comes Boris Johnson, don’t sign allow your ppl to died in a unnecessary war and now we are two years in…
Greenwald is one of the best journalists of our time. Thank you PBD for bringing him on
Not even close to the best. Highly compromised too.
@@Derideo Who is better? How is he compromised?
I wonder why you Americans are so blind... Glenn is not what you guys say at all. Do you actually think you know the guy? He is married to a Brazilian communist congressman who literally spat in president Bolsonaro's face. Bolsonaro is very well spoken by Trump and he is considered the Brazilian Trump by us Brazilians. And when Glenn came to Brazil, he went on a cruzade against conservatives, using every nasty rethoric in the leftist book to attack good people who really cares about our country and defend criminals like Lula. WAKE UP or you just deserve another Biden!
@@Derideothank you!!
@@fredgarvinMP He is best buds with the snowclown. That alone is enough to ignore everything he says. He paints rosy images of clowns in trouble, like Lula in Brazil. Greenwald was described by Rachel Maddow during his period writing for Salon as "the American left’s most fearless political commentator." I could go on but he's not worth my time.
Once I hear Pat take a deep breath and say “huh okay”, I know a random ass analogy is coming that makes you think what the fuck does that have to do with this lol.
Exactly 😂😂😂
no matter how many times Glenn explains, pat just doesnt get it!
The guy doesn't know how to listen.

Thank you for this discussion. Snowden is demonstrably (if you can see/discern) authentically telling truth.

What a life he has led in journalism. Just watched Michael Brooks praising him. Teaches me I should never jump to conclusions or let "the crowd" sway me.
Love all you do on PBD. And, it's pretty simple, Patrick: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." It's no more complicated than that. God Bless Snowden.
And Julian Assange!
Glenn is a hero. Snowden is a hero. Comparing the situation to baseball cards and restaurants, I think is simplistic. People who operate from paranoia operate from a different frequency than those who operate from heroism. 🙏
Well said. There are people vastly different than yourself and trying to emphaty with them from your own perspective is useless.
Glenn is a liar and a fraud.
Spot. I so didn't get the comparison with baseball cards and restaurants. Like he's trying so hard to justify his flawed stance on Snowden that's based upon what he himself would do.
I totally agree but I'm confused as to why you are surprised as this Patrick guy appears to be denser than a black hole.
I've just started watching him admittedly but he makes Joe Rogan look like Wolfgang Pauli.
They have to put in the mout tona salt, but dosnot help what is life in Russi😂😂😂.. Americans try, but not easy😊😊
I appreciate you all reminding folks of Snowden's sacrifice.
Thanks PBD
Glenn Greenwald carries his balls around in a wheelbarrow. He is the best journalist the world has ever known and Edward Snowden is a true American patriot and a hero.
Lol well said.
Pat needs to learn when to let things go. He keeps thinking about how he would respond. Pat, you're not Putin. You gotta chill!
PBD stands for pretty brain dead. He's just another right wing grifter.

why are there lockers with keys in them in the background?
Snowden had access to so much information, and instead of just dumping everything out on the internet, he did instead in the most possibly responsible way. None of what he did says "you can't trust me".
Snowden is a G for exposing how e veil is USA government !! Еspecially for honest hard working Americans!! Greetings from a Russia
Thank you from America
Snowden is a legit Hero.
Bravo, Glenn Greenwald !
While in the service the government will have you believe Snowden was a traitor, but in reality he was a patriot for allowing the people to know. Remember the government is to be of the consent of the people, not the other way around. Any deviation of this is unconstitional
A person like Snowden doing things not just for personal gain just does not exist in PBD's world, so he cannot wrap his head around what Glenn is telling him.
A slimy cretin B.S. artist who made a lot of money with a multi-level marketing insurance business (scammer) can't understand a guy who sacrificed his job and freedom to inform us about our constitutional rights being violated by our government. No surprise to me.
BINGO!
Well Pat has surrounded himself with greedy business owners looking for every dollar they can milk. Not saying that's a bad thing. It's just a business thing. People like Snowden exist outside of the business world.
Exactly 💯
Yep 100% - reason we in this pickle lol
The Snowden story reminds me of something trump said…”they’re not coming for me, they’re coming for you, I’m just in their way.” I hope that anyone who thinks Snowden is a hero and she be allowed to come home and be free also realize what’s going on with trump. Just sayin…
You're an NPC. Snowden sold out national security secrets to foreign enemy countries for his own self gain. He didnt JUST expose surveillance culture. Actually educate yourself instead of worshipping a national traitor off of incomplete information you got from social media
Most of us do....then there are the brainwashed ones...liberalism is a MENTAL DISORDER😢

Snowden also proved that their is no such thing as whistleblower protection when it comes to crimes against sovereign citizens by the government. 19:58
😂
Based on watching PBD for a long time i think he is soo entrenched in his believe in capitalism and competition that it is almost impossible for him to completely believe that maybe Snowden's ultimate believe and end goal is to expose disingenuousness and corruption regardless of the consequences.
my respect for PBD is minimal - the guy has made some money in investments. As to political acumen he cannot hold a candle to Glen Greenwald
@@ktermalkut8332 yeah, never trust someone with insurance companies. i might be wrong, but that's what the god i believe in told me, never trust sellers of interest, (banks-insurance)
Great point!
No disrespect but he's Iranian and he's from Los Angeles. One of the most corrupt cities in the country if not tied first with New York.
Money hungry people are always suspicious of others even over minimal things. I'm from Los Angeles. Been around a number of groups of people. And I know people like PBD when I see them for who they are.
His point was why would Russia and Snowden trust each other so much. What do Snowden and Russia gain from each other?

Apple has since removed the film Snowden from its library. Gone even though I purchased it. I have two phones. One hasn’t been connected to the net and it remains downloaded there.

@@scottkessel952 If you said dissapointed i would agree, but if you can't believe it, then that's being willfully ignorant.
@@XHALE303 very true. Well put
Russia did not need to use him, just him alive and the threat of releasing more secrets is a better play than using him to help Russia have a better survellance state.
Exactly, just like Tara Reid.
I wonder what is in them deposit boxes behind them with the signatures on?
Even before Putin became famous, he was known for being very methodical, orderly to the point of being seen as boring and dull. Everything had to be done according to the law, he never took any bribes, he was very predictable, and this quality of Putin attracted Yeltsin. So, with Snowden, the explanation was that there was no exchange treaty between Russia and the USA. Russia proposed it many times but the US always declined, which was understandable - who would flee to Russia? Putin wanted a treaty, a signed document for future deals but he did not get it. America resorted to intimidation and pressure as always, but this time could not bully the other side into submission.
It also does not help that the US made this negotiation public, they even sent a plane to Moscow to pick up Snowden and had to land it at the last minute somewhere in the Baltic countries. The fact that the US cancelled Snowden's passport while he was waiting for his connecting plane in Russia, making it impossible for him to board any international plane, does not inspire much confidence in CIA intelligence or give one a thought that it was all done by design.
PBD you choose the most unconnected analogies to make a point. Telling an analogy of a 22yo girl with a 40 yo playboy made me lose brain cells
I hate it man. It’s all the time lol
Yeah, his qualities lie in other areas than Philosophy that's for sure.
It's ok we can explain to him even by that analogy.
The doughter is homless becuz u kicked out of the house and she decided to marry that playboy
"Snowden is a traitor"
Tell us you're a fed without telling us you're a fed 😂😂
Also tell us you like a big brother government without telling us you like a big brother government.
Not to the American people.

No, Snowden is a Naive Childish Snake.
No one likes to be constrained, including in what they say, free speech was intended for peace and some try to make it anything but.
Some say they want equality, but constantly think their words have more power.
Everyone's answers hide in the opposite point of view and so does empathy, forgiveness and peace.
There is, indeed, such a moral Russian code as shielding those who turn to you for protection. It's not political. It's very Russian a thing because the Orthodox Christianity had a huge impact on Russian mentality: "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." The Russian FSB absolutely could try to ask if Snowden would cooperate, but it also abolutely would accept "no" based on principles.
The whole Snowden ordeal came up at the time Russia had been undertaking huge efforts to improve relationships with the US. While Snowden was sill living in the Moscow airport and the US was pressuring Russia, Putin went to Turkey for a visit and , at some pont, held, together with Erdogan, a press-conference. Some journalist asked if Russia would arrest Snowden and/or extridite him to the US. Putin looked frustrated, unhappy, but answered in his usual reserved way: Snowden had breached no Russian law, so no, he would not be arrested. Neither he would be extradited as Russia did not extridite the individuals wanted on political reasons. Besides, he added, Russia and the US had no extradition agreement.
