How disheartening for Snowden to do the right thing and be stranded in Russia.

Abhorrent behavior from our representatives, unforgivable.

He didn't do the right thing. He didn't even expose anything we didn't already know. He's a traitor and not even for a good cause.

If you think it's bait, it's because you're in an information silo and don't often come in contact with different opinions. This results in people bein ill-equipped to discuss issues with people who are considering factors you haven't so you have to pretend it's "just someone trolling me" to avoid thinking about another point of view.

For what it's worth, I agree with the above person. Snowden is a traitor, him now being a citizen of an adversary should be a clue. He now has to say whatever Putin wants him to say or he'll fall out of a window.

His plan A wasn't even to escape to Russia, the EU and USA blocked the Ecuadorian plane who was trying to rescue him.
