Thanks for the update. I didn’t know he had children, but I guess life moves on. I still think it is absolutely shameful that Europe wasn’t and isn’t able to allow Snowden to live in Europe.
The Europeans bucking the US would require them to not be vassals. But right now we see Germany trying to placate Trump and while France does a lot of saber rattling, they also aren’t going specifically against the US. Only Spain is currently defying the US, but only insofar that they don’t allow the US to conduct its war of choice with Iran from spanish soil. They are not opposing the US on anything that isn’t as clear cut morally. That’s a lot of words for saying yes, unfortunately, Europe, and Germany above all, is too cowardly to defend what is right against the US. The only opposition allowed against the US is bureaucratic opposition. And even that is failing.

They’re vassals to the empire. He wouldn’t be safe there anyway
