Putin now has someone he feels he can manipulate as the leader of the free world.
NATO countries formerly feeling some measure of safety from Russian aggression are shitting their pants.
Snowden will become a bargaining chip in a heartbeat if it advances Putin’s agenda. While I thought they would harbor him and prop him up in Russia as hero for airing the dirty laundry I could totally see him becoming a pawn. Putin hands over Snowden to make Trump look like he gets deals done and in return Trump agrees to something that makes Putin even more dangerous.
Trump hasn’t even been sworn in and he managed to crash the world economy overnight. Imagine what he could do with 4 years.
Oh well, life goes on… for some.
