No shit, he said he was wrong after the full scale invasion began. It would be very strange for him to claim that “the invasion” is not happening after russia invaded.

Before that he was openly parroting russian narratives about how US intel was incorrect and how the invasion wasn’t happening.

Many times. Want me to say it again? “Russia should not invade Ukraine.”

The reason I don’t say it more is because it’s a non-statement: everybody agrees with it, even Russians. The only people who think slogans solve the problem are people who don’t understand the conflict.

Lying about russian attitudes. 85% (with adjustments for preference falsification) of russians support the annexation of Crimea; the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.

I want to see an end to the conflict in Ukraine, and frankly, I think all reasonable people share that position. The question nobody seems to want to contend with is whether amplifying official claims made without evidence are reducing hostilities, or are in fact provoking them.

TIME paints here a very different picture of the Ukraine crisis, reporting that it is a drive to censor and criminalize the domestic political opposition—a drive encouraged by the White House—that has brought some to believe war is the only option.

He even uses the russian term “Ukraine crisis” and blames Ukrainians for russian aggression (ironic considering how “open” politics are in russia).

He routinely promotes Glenn Greenwald (who said all Ukrainians are Nazis) and David Sachs, both of whom are openly supportive of russian genocidal imperialism.

I highly doubt you’ll change your opinion on Snowden. Generally speaking, it would be difficult for Snowden fanboys to admit that their hero isn’t the paragon of virtue that they claim he is.
