Generally speaking, when it comes to Ed Snowden these days, the Heir isn't so inclined to come after the guy himself as much as his progressive apologists. But now that Ed Snowden's been granted citizenship in a country adversarial to the U.S., and because the progressives claim to be against said country in its assault against Ukraine, the Heir sees this as an opportunity for the progressives to throw Ed Snowden under the bus once and for all. He demands nothing short of that, and he won't accept the progressives saying something to the effect of we want the Ed Snowden from 2013, not the Ed Snowden from 2022. The Heir says you should forsake both. If you don't, the Heir will be reminded that he himself is not progressive at all, but what he calls Tropically Conservative. We should probably also bring back that banner of solidarity now that Putin claims to now own eastern Ukraine. We should have the banner say that eastern Ukraine and Crimea are -Ukrainian-, period. We, too, see the 'referendum' as a sham, but it's not a true referendum. It's just soldiers forcing people to sign what they don't mean under duress, so the Heir's wondering if Zelensky's weak in not invalidating said 'referendum' as the rightful President of Ukraine. The Heir's hoping for more, because this is just a mental trick that everyone's falling for, including those who see the campaign as a sham. The Heir thinks we should call it what it is, a mental military campaign. Undo Putin's hypnosis.
