5. Russia's homophobic laws and jailing of Pussy Riot are not Snowden's fault.

Nor are they his crosses to bear.

6. He doesn't have much choice

He needs a safe harbor where he'll be protected, and his travel options are extremely limited.

Where he lands is more a matter of practicality than choosing a place that fits all of his ideals.

7. Im sure Snowden does not like Russia

But he doesnt have a choice at the moment. That's why he's filed for only temporary asylum for now until he figures out a way to get to South America.

8. Why did he go to Russia in first place

Why not he stay at Hong Kong?

9. Hong Kong was going to have to eventually extradite him

US has an extradition treaty with Hong Kong. We do not have one with Russia.

HK though gave him the head up while they stalled with the paperwork. That's when he took off and Putin let him land in Moscow.
