He's going to love it in Russia! LOL!

Hawaii vs Russia.....Hmmmm!

I'm glad he's found himself a job and a new country. I'm sure that our negative  view of life in Russia has been skewed by the news media over the last 50 years. I suspect that he'll find a new life there and be very happy.
He's a hero IMO, and also in the opinions of a lot of other Americans. Probably not of too many people on this forum though.

I'm glad he did it... the traitors are the people that violated the constitution or allowed this to be done.

I've been to Vladivostok and it's the most depressing place I've ever seen. He's probably not going to be living in Vladivostok, but if other Russian cities are anything like it....well, it is pretty much the opposite of Hawaii in every way.

Happy is from the heart...a good man can be happy anywhere.

Well, I'll admit I'm not a good man, but I would not be happy in Vladivostok.

There are some fine looking women in Russia and he's got a job and is intelligent. He should have no problem getting happy. Even Lee Harvey Oswald found a cute wife in Russia.

If he leaks Russian secrets....he won't have any worries, ever again.

Well I think Russia may be over their Communism's going to rule the world drive...the USA as taken over in that effort.

Y'all should read this ...

It's a trip.

You can see that in the recent epic photo of Richard Stallman — the Saint Francis of Free Software, the kind of raw crank who preaches to birds and wanders the planet shoeless – shoulder-to-shoulder with an unshaven Assange, sporting his manly work shirt. The two of them, jointly holding up a little propaganda pic of Edward Snowden.

They have the beatific look of righteousness rewarded. Che Guevara in his starred beret had more self-doubt than these guys. They are thrilled with themselves.

People, you couldn’t trust any of these three guys to go down to the corner grocery for a pack of cigarettes. Stallman would bring you tiny peat-pots of baby tobacco plants, then tell you to grow your own. Assange would buy the cigarettes, but smoke them all himself while coding up something unworkable. And Ed would set fire to himself, to prove to an innocent mankind that tobacco is a monstrous and cancerous evil that must be exposed at all costs.

And yet the three of them together, they look just amazing. They are fantastic figures, like the promise of otherworldly aid from a superhero comic. They are visibly stronger than they’ve ever been before. They have the initiative in a world afflicted with comprehensive helplessness.

And there’s more coming. Lots, lots more.

It was reported that he misses his girlfriend.
At any rate, fine looks do not equal love or happiness.

Well it helps if the rest of the package is warm friendly and caring, that goes without saying. Anyway I wish him luck.

I was in Russia in 2005. Spent five days there and had a really great time.
Nice restaurants, a casino, beach resorts........Even got a waitress to make me a glass of sweet iced tea.

Let me guess....you weren't in Vladivostok, were you?
When I was there, some of the Brits on a tour swore that they saw a body floating in Vladivostok's harbor.

I believe at one time it was a closed city.  Where I used to work was very interested in it.  Neat to see the name again.

The Russian Pacific Fleet was stationed there and yes, you are right...the city was closed, I think up until the early 90s. I can imagine that your place of work back in the day was very, very interested in it!

Correct. Proof is that people live in Pensacola.

Before seagoat vomits a thousand words... by individual I mean any person willing to support at minimum themselves.
