    It really is a shame how spineless european politicians are, to not give Edward Snowden protection in europe. I bet a whole bunch of politicians are happy that he faded out of the collective mind, so they don’t have defend their indefensible standpoint of not giving Snowden amnesty.

    It also sucks that there is no recourse against politicians that are clearly biased in their decisionmaking.

      If he had citizenship in a EU country he would be safe. EU countries don’t extradite EU citizens to the US. It would be a whole can of political worms to not extradite a US citizen to the US.

        His flight to the USA for extradition would be safe. Julian Assange is also just lucky that he won’t be extradited. Especially as you shouldn’t forget 5/9/14 eyes, for example. But Snowden wouldn’t be 1 day safe in europe
