No, he had a choice to keep quiet, but instead he chose to support russian genocidal imperialism. That makes him a bad person.
He is a PR win for russia, they are not going to harm him as that would undermine their interests.
Were you there? Were you privy to the circumstances? It could very well be the case that he was threatened. We don't know, I just think it's super sus that he started spewing pro-Russia nonsense only after his importance uncovering US govt documents was waning.
I think it's highly likely he was pressured to make those statements.
What does me being or not being there have to do with anything?
He did have a choice to not support russian genocidal imperialism. He made a decision to support the russians even though they do terrible things (both in context of violent imperialism and spying on their own citizens).
The tone of his social media posts suggests that he rather enthusiastic about using his fame and social readership to promote an agenda. One that is explicitly aimed at harming those who oppose russian genocidal imperialism.
So when others give their opinions (clearly identified as such) you demand evidence, but when you do the same you provide none? You're either a troll or an idiot, which is kinda sad 'cos most of the english-speakers here were actually trying to be rational for a change.
KTHXBYE
Perfect example of the "Saint Snowden" syndrome. Denying reality to protect the innocence of your precious.
