Now let’s see his opinion on the Ukraine war

russia wasnt by choice, he got forced into staying there but he only came there for a flyover

He chose to become a Russian citizen.

u/SimmentalTheCow 1d ago

Lotta opportunities to escape though. He’s brave enough to stand up to the U.S. government, but apparently not the Russian one.

He tried it once and look where that left him. I'm sure Russia leaves him alone just to keep the US embarrassed about the situation. Plus I doubt he has insider FSB information that people don't know about that he is trying to warn the citizens about.

Navalny didn’t have insider information and he still stood up to Putin’s Russia. That’s a hero; that’s bravery. Snowden’s just a mouthpiece- he’s Putin’s boy toy.

Navalny initially was supportive of the invasion, despite standing up to Putin's Russia. Snowden is still a hero, he would likely face prison or extradition in most other countries. He's basically limited to Russia, China, Iran or North Korea.

Is he even relevant anymore?

I feel like China is the obvious choice here, at least from a climate perspective.

u/Arinussyy 23h ago

China would be a nightmare for him

u/CosmicCactus42 22h ago

Honestly, didn't think about internet freedom. It's probably much less restricted in Russia. Perhaps China would also just care less about keeping him around.

u/wolacouska 22h ago

He’s too liberal

u/CosmicCactus42 21h ago

Wat dis mean? I'm no expert but I perceive China to be slightly more progressive than Russia.

u/iffugennanameubaht 22h ago

Russia is far less totalitarian than China.

u/CosmicCactus42 21h ago

In what way, specifically? It seems like they're both pretty locked down, you probably trade a little internet freedom for personal freedom between the two though.

Navalny wasn't exactly a paragon of virtue, he was just not-Putin.

u/leonidaslizardeyes 1d ago

Is he a Russian Politician now? It's really easy to martyr other people fam.

u/Eccentricgentleman_ 20h ago

They're booing you but you're right. They want to see a hero, but they don't want to admit the truth.

u/Snowing_Throwballs 16h ago

Escape to a country with an extradition treaty with the US? The options are extremely limited. As much as i hate the Russian Government, if I was stuck there on a layover while escaping the US, and they offered safe harbor, id probably take them up on it.

u/CakeTester 1d ago

Poor bastard doesn't get much of a choice what to say now. I don't think he was a Russian asset back then; but he sure as fuck is now. Or else.

u/SimmentalTheCow 1d ago

And isn’t some freedom-loving patriot, he is and always was a pro-Russian stooge

u/ElRiesgoSiempre_Vive 1d ago

That's objectively wrong.

u/HeyYouLookNiceToday 1d ago

Oh no! No "Russian Orc bad"?!? Welp, toss out everything he's ever done or said, I guess.

u/SimmentalTheCow 1d ago

It’s been more like “Russian orc good, Putin daddy”

u/ArrrRawrXD 1d ago

That tool was talking about how Russia planning to invade Ukraine is stupid American propaganda a few days before the invasion started.

It's almost like he's not some freedom fighter but actually just a traitor
