Pickles Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 He's probably in a black car, with blacked-out windows, being driven by men in black suits and black sunglasses, to a black helicopter with blacked-out windows and registration, and thence to a black jet with no windows and no registration.

idun Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I think Snowden is a fool. And I think that the americans had their knickers in a twist about this for nothing. And the UK government, well, didn't we know that they could access what they want. Where is he? Who knows, he'll end up in some terrible place for the rest of his days, until they come and get him, because when it has all blown over, I'm sure that they will.Now I do believe in individuals fighting for rights. But it has to be something worthwhile and I just do not think that this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter if they hand him over or they come and get him???? I'm sure that there is a 'vengeance' department somewhere.And re the bullying Hong Kong. What madness is that. Hong Kong is China, and even if it hadn't been handed over in 1997, then I reckon that the chinese would not have put up with the USA bullying Hong Kong. I suppose word came down from Peking, 'get him out of here' and so he went.And I say Peking, the french still call it Pekin and they call just about everywhere by their 'former names'. No idea why the english speakers are supposed to 'change'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 He is either in the tansit lounge at Moscow airport (technically not to have entered Russia) or he is in a 'safe house' somewhere in Russia pumped full of drugs spilling all he knows to the Russians which I hink is more likely. I can see this will make an excellent film in a few years time. I wonder who will get to play him? Which ever one it is I bet he is not feeling so clever now.

idun Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 They have said now that he is 'in transit'. Wonder how long he will be there, they said he can leave when he wants. Is he more at risk by staying rather than leaving?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]I saw on the news that the county (who's name escapes me for the moment) to which he is seeking political asylum has given him a travel document (his passport has been revoked so he does not have one) but does not have any flights linking it directly with Russia. In simple terms he has to fly to his final destination via another country which is going to cause him a bit of a problem. Could he end up like that chap they made a film about stuck at the airport in Moscow for years on end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yes, The Terminal, with Tom Hanks, a film I didn't fancy but really enjoyed when I saw it. I thought that there were a few countries he could fly via and not have US involvement. Initially they had said, he would fly via Cuba to Ecuador. All this fuss, I wonder if he hasn't already moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 President Vladimir Putin has confirmed."He is a transit passenger in the transit zone and is still there now," he said, adding that the sooner he chose a destination, the better. He went on to give a brilliant one-liner about the situation.'It is like shearing a piglet, there is much squealing but in the end very little wool' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
