I mean Trump requested a top secret list of CIA assets in Russia. Had a “private” meeting with Putin kicking everyone out of the room. A month later 80% of those assets were dead…
It’s good you wrote here then, because you are wrong. Snowden wasn’t being specific in what he grabbed, but he closely worked with Glenn Greenwald and The Guardian to publicize what he grabbed. There is a whole Wikipedia article of the release, which makes only one mention of irresponsible disclosure putting an agent at risk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowden_disclosures . Also Snowden himself was demanding agents not be exposed.
He was though… He was in hong long, got kicked out from us pressure, fled to costa Rica or smth with a stop in russia, but the us got his foreign passport invalidated so russia kept him there.
Passport revocation means nothing in this case. He left Hong Kong after his passport was revoked because China didn’t want him. He couldn’t leave Russia because Putin wanted him.
Or maybe the government who punishes people for breaking the law shouldn’t break the damn law and put those peoples lives in danger themselves doing so.
If what I read at the time is accurate Snowden was not at all selective in what he grabbed and some people probably died because of him.

and allowed troops to be slaughtered by russia too.

Now, who most likely got a lot of agents killed is the leaker in chief, Trump himself.
Yeah, anyone whose career ends up with a Rumble show is problematic.
Does seem like something snapped in Glen Greenwald. Once a good investigative journalist. Now a conspiracy freak.
They made a movie about him too. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4044364
Thanks, I will check these links out. Based on the comments I was getting I figured I must be way off base on this one.
He was specific in what he released. He released a list of compromised Chinese systems in order to try to gain asylum in Hong Kong, which is the first place he went to. China kicked him out of the country, so he had to change plans.

How do you read into that article that he handed a list of compromised systems to chinese authorities?

How would be you be selective if you have time constraints and the NSA is on your butt anytime?
Think about it. He could have been selective at home where he had plenty of time. And he was never really caught, was he?
He was though… He was in hong long, got kicked out from us pressure, fled to costa Rica or smth with a stop in russia, but the us got his foreign passport invalidated so russia kept him there.

I just gave the story from his Autobiography

Ah the good old regime’s ‘he put brave US operatives in danger’
