What Do You Think? MY YOUTUBE REPLIES TO: ‘Delusional! Edward Snowden Believes Europe Might Grant Him Asylum, Save Him From US!’

I came across this video on YT.

I literally never post any comments under YT videos, but for the first time in years I was called to post one in response to someone else’s one-sided view, in order to clarify and tell the truth. I must say others started chiming in to support my comment and add their own, which is great. And I ended up replying to additional responses as well.

I also have to say that the vast majority of comments under that video are right on!

My comments are under this thread:

a2eoas 17 hours ago (edited): The report says that Snowden considers Russia the safest country for him to be in. So he is not delusional, although he still seems to be under the disturbing impression that Russia is somehow an inferior choice.

CHECK IT OUT!

Blufor 4014 15 hours ago (edited) It is, I’m British and lived in Russia for 2 years, the corruption and incompetence there is quite palpable and offputting. Of course you get that everywhere, but its quite less obvious in europe and america.

Lada Ray 12 hours ago @Blufor 4014 Well, the stabbings and government/MSM lies in the UK are lots more palpable and offputting, meantime Russia is getting more and more beautiful and comfortable to live by the day, and people are lovely. And you should try living in the US – talk about off… Hello from the US, btw.

Magic Mark 12 hours ago It is the inferior choice. Most Russian also want to leave. Millions have and millions more would if they had money and an opportunity.

indycoon 10 hours ago (edited) @Magic Mark Don’t lie. There was a poll about it. 88% prefer to stay in Russia. Moreover 83% said they want their children to live in Russia. In 2000 such answer was given by 51%, in 2015 it was 61%.

“It is, I’m British and lived in Russia for 2 years, the corruption and incompetence there is quite palpable and offputting.”

What kind of corruption were you able to witness? I doubt you were asked for a bribe.

“its just a poor place to live.”

Snowden lives in arguably best European capital. Here is what he has to say about Russia: https://youtu.be/EezWIxcinnw?t=239

“Its easy to fall for the rose tainted view of things but when you’ve lived in it…”

That’s what many Russians who lived or live in the West say about the West.

Lada Ray @Blufor 4014 Your picture is very warped and you really have no idea what you are talking about – two years in Russia without proper Russian really do not make you an expert. Over 28 years in Russia with native Russian make me one!

Your view is very one sided and this is not the truth. Russia is No.2 in IMMIGRATION after the US. I bet you don’t even know this. Recently 15,000 wealthy white farmer families from S. Africa immigrated to Russia – not to the UK, the language of which they speak. And where on this list is UK? Nowhere near the top.

Did you ever consider emigration out of UK or US – the true numbers are hidden. I personally know a lot of people who want to leave UK and US and never come back. IF you indeed were in Russia, I bet you only talked to the crowd who are not representative of Russia. Those few who prefer to talk to foreigners, tell them what they want to hear, such as ‘I want to leave Russia’, and then there are people who cannot see beyond the tip of their nose.

The vast majority of Russians are very proud of their country and it’s getting better by the day. IF the West did not engineer the collapse of the USSR and sucked all the resources out of it, then life of the people wouldn’t have been as bad in the ’90s-early 2000s. And Russia wouldn’t have to climb out of a major hole. Putin did the impossible. But the West, especially your native UK and US want Russia to disappear from the map. If not for current sanctions, Russia also would have been doing a lot better. That’s THE truth!

“Its easy to fall for the rose tainted view of things but when you’ve lived in it… —That’s what many Russians who lived or live in the West say about the West.”

BINGO! Exactly!

@Blufor only sees one side of the whole story and re. corruption – it appears he regurgitates the propaganda of the pro-west Russian neoliberals, like Navalny and Dozhd Tv. In reality, Russia is making major, major leaps in fighting corruption. So what he says is all BS. Not to mention how much damage his native UK and US have done to Russia, sucking all resources out for years, and Russia still manages to do very well – a rare gift. And Moscow IS one of the most beautiful cities I’ve been to, and I’ve been to over 30 countries. St Petersburg is even more beautiful, but there are many other great places, big and small. Newest infrastructure is amazing – UK or US couldn’t dream of it!

IN CONCLUSION:

I much prefer to build bridges, educate and lift mankind’s consciousness. But in our world there are plenty of those who yell loud and know very little, yet think they know everything. There is still a predominant Western stigma that somehow Russia is inferior – something absorbed by many with mother’s milk, and as the first commenter suggested, it’s very disturbing because nothing can be further from the truth! In such cases, sometimes it’s a good idea to weigh in!
