Snowden was a huge propaganda asset for Russia.

He wouldn't release suspicious activity from Russia, but tried to blame the west in everything.

Ps. Look at the raw numbers + eg. GDP). Russia can't start a new cold war, the original cold war was one between equals.

Russia is only big in km2

Are you confusing Snowden and Assange?


Yes. You're right

Russia had benefits with both. They worked together ( Snowden and Assange).

But Snowden wasn't a Russian puppet like Assange.


Snowden didn't really have anything to release on Russia. All his stuff was about the US and other Five Eyes nations.

I think it was Assange that was basically a Russian stooge.


Yeah, you're right.
