Edward Snowden Must Fight for Russia in Ukraine if Asked, Under New Plan

[Guno צְבִי]

Edward Snowden, a whistleblower wanted by U.S. authorities for leaking highly classified National Security Agency (NSA) secrets in 2013, could be forced to fight for Russia or lose his citizenship should Moscow announce a full-scale mobilization of the population, under a new draft law submitted on Monday.

The draft legislation was submitted to the State Duma, the lower house of Russia's parliament, by Mikhail Matveev, a lawmaker with the country's Communist Party. It states that evasion of military service by a person who has been granted Russian citizenship could be considered grounds for its termination, state-run news agency Tass reported.

Snowden was granted Russian citizenship by President Vladimir Putin in September 2022. The former U.S. intelligence contractor fled to Moscow in 2013 to avoid espionage charges after leaking secret files that exposed extensive details of global surveillance operations carried out by his then-employer, the NSA. He was granted temporary asylum in Russia, which was extended until he was granted permanent residency in 2020.

As humorous as that entire situation would appear, how old is the apparently still draft eligible Snowden?

Isn't he fortyish?

The entire Snowden episode was a shit show anyway, no?

Who's the good guy between the NSA and a Putin lackey?

Think of it as a tour of the charming Ukranian countryside from the hatch of a dilapidated T-62 tank
