Putin's war[edit]

Now that Putin ordered all Americans out of Russia, will Snowden have to leave as well? 2001:56A:74D2:7D00:AD2F:AB0F:6DE1:4C06 (talk) 20:13, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly, given that it has not happened, no. Worth noting he had a different legal status with residency than most Americans in Russia. He has since become a dual citizen.

More seriously, I removed the sentence saying he could be conscripted, because the source didn't even state that. The source referenced an American political appointee speculating that. The same source then references a non-speculative source, the Russian government, that he would not as he lacks military experience. OR, but he is also above the conscription age in Russia, by 12 years. I don't like the war either, but don't frame the speculation of a US Department of State Spokesman's speculation (which is a form of propoganda, literally his job) as definitive when it is discounted within 30 seconds. Do better. 50.101.105.130 (talk) 16:10, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
