Not gonna lie, if I was Snowden I would regret throwing my life away for this country of idiots.

He's for sure living better on that Putin stipend than his ClA/NSA paycheck lol

if the Russians actually trust him on any high level like that I think it would be stupid as hell

I don't think he's trusted in any meaningful way. It's just good good to have him around for propaganda purposes, i assume

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

yeah.. he still made the right choice ultimately

His conscience is probably cleaner, but no way is he making more money or living more comfortably than a national security contractor with a decade or more experience.

You are way overestimating how much your shitty government pays its own employees

He was probably making 90-140k with good benefits and a pension? His healthcare insurance deductible was probably still 5-10k lol

That money in USA before he cashes his pension is a pretty average life in other developed countries because of how shittier everything is here

It wouldn't take much money for Russia to beat that standard of living

Source: Max pay for stem roles at nsa is 180k since 2023. In his day, it was probably closer to 150k http://federalnewsnetwork.com/pay/2023/08/pentagon-approves-higher-cyber-pay-for-nsa-other-defense-intelligence-agencies/?readmore=1
