    France did speak out against the USA publicly after the news broke, so that was one option, yes. TBH Snowden had no reason to believe Russia or China would keep him after he already outlived his usefulness, unless perhaps they still think he’s useful even now.

      LOL no it fucking wasn’t an option, France and the EU have an extradition treaty with the US and would absolutely have turned him over.

      Talk is cheap, especially when you know you wont have to back up your words with actions.
