I would say a guy with the security clearance that Snowden had should not "run" to ANY country, I don't care what he thinks his justification to do so was. That was nefarious crap.
As for Russia, it ain't about the Russian people. It is about the fact they run their own state with their own interests, which only sometimes comport with ours. Same thing with China, same thing with any other country. Snowden had no business being in either of those countries, especially under the conditions he went to them.
Like you probably have, I've met nice individuals the world over. But what Snowden became a servant of in Russia is not an individual -- it is their collective called the State. Big difference.
Cheers
