Snowden granted 3-yr residence permit reddit/r/worldnews/comments/2cveft/snowden_granted_3yr_residence_permit/ • I have a feeling that as long as the US pisses Russia off Snowden will have a place to call home. • Interestingly, Russia is a signatory of the full convention on the Status of Refugees. As far as I was aware, someone who had a genuine risk of persecution at home was required to be given permanent residency and protection by signatories. A 3 year residence permit is not this. • Australia has signed up to this convention too. Apparently it doesnt mean shit. Were treating refugees terribly. • If they havent landed then their not refugees yet! Its OK to sink the boat. • Dont let em reach the beach, lads! • Just setup a giant wall. • I was going to include a conditional statement; that the convention is hardly enforced by anything, even if ratified by domestic legislatures, and that powerful states with autonomous power can basically decide to do anything they want with displaced people, but I thought it might get a bit wordy. It came to mind to use Australia as an example. I mean, they used the same mercenaries that they invaded Bougainvillea with to guard desperate people fleeing wars in Papua New Guinea and acted surprised when someone ended up dead. Even the PNG government is scared of those guys. • Then he shall have a home for a long time. • Nope. Just wait until Obama sends his assassins • If Snowden gets assassinated there would be a real PR disaster • Isnt that perfect for everybody? Russia gets something to propagandize about (dutiful reference to RT being a shit news source here), and the US doesnt have to deal with a politicized trial. • Well, its perfect for Russia, but an embarrassment for US that doesnt show any signs of ending as Snowdens leaks continue to drip on Obamas head. • There is, as long as they want to send the message to other potential whistleblowers. • Snowden is U.S secret weapon to get into russia and steal intel and the plan worked like a charm, russia walk right into it. • Im sure he can soon return to the US. USA aint one to hold a grudge for too long /s • In a german article I just read it says that he has a job. Im really wondering what kind of job that is, but that is probably as confidential as his concrete whereabouts. Does anyone have information on that? ୧(﹒︠ᴗ﹒︡)୨ Have you discovered Facebook Page Vines On The Daily https://facebook/272561892949454 • 20+ OKcupid Visitors every day OKvisits (beta) It is free
