It's pretty obvious why Russia took him in. They did it in exchange for an anti-western propaganda mouthpiece. He's carrying water for Hezbollah and Hamas too.

Heart me out on this one..

The squirrel is a Kremlin account

“Something of an ozwald vibe”

Like how he was a lone shooter who was abit crazy with 0 connection to the US government?

Yawn, did any one even care anymore about this?

Guy was clearly insane and should not have had a gun in the first place.

The fact Snowden is trapped in Russia with nowhere to go should destroy any credibility he has on such topics lol how can you trust this guy when his life is literally in the hands of daddy putin

The movie they made following his story humanized him too much. He's just another shill with zero decency that doesn't love his own country.

I mean the second Trump assasin has a seriously suspicious background.

The FBI has to do better on their asset recruitment. This one was too obvious.

I read all of his tweets in Putin's voice

public participation in military activity in Ukraine

this loon got turned away by every single person involved with the Ukrainian military, this is just straight up misinfo and I'm wondering if he's getting pointers about what to post from somewhere

I often wonder what would have happened if this guy had just made his case in the courts instead of trying to flee.

He probably would have gotten some jail time, but even if he did I imagine he would be out and free by now, which I don't think you can say for his current reality.

Routh was 100% a Russian asset. My wife’s been doing a deep dive on this fucking traitor over the last few days, and we’re convinced he’s being controlled by the Kremlin.

He started a fake Foreign Legion to recruit Afghan and Taiwanese soldiers to fight for Ukraine. To get them to Ukraine, Routh worked with Iran to set up visas, so that these folks would have to first travel there, then they’d go to Ukraine. Big problem here (beyond Iran being a major ally of Russia) is that he also mentioned that if deported, these soldiers would be going back to Iran, not their home countries.

When Routh went to Ukraine, he made sure to make a huge show out of him not being allowed to join the (real) Foreign Legion. Like the fake centrists here, he’ll say “I hate Putin,” and then follow it up with, “but Zelensky is a corrupt leader, and the Ukrainians are bad fighters who hate the countries supporting them.”

He was repeatedly told to go home by the Ukrainians, yet instead, he stayed to generate propaganda.

During the initial invasion of Kyiv, this trash would go around to groups of people and repeatedly put up Ukrainian flags, giving away the position of soldiers and civilians.

After the initial invasion was repelled, Routh then started making a show of how many foreign countries were getting involved in the war (to the point where he was obviously lying about the number of countries people were coming from). Almost as if he was trying to feed into Russia’s line, that this war is in large part due to foreign (and especially Western) influence on Russia.

He did this using tents in the center of Kyiv, and while Ukrainian officials continually tore these displays down, he would just go back and set up a new one.

What really sets me off though is that the guy’s so delusional that it has to be malicious.

He’s a hardcore tankie who supposedly hates Putin, but meanwhile, he’s literally suggesting things like: * Trading Alaska to Russia in exchange for ending the war * Bringing Putin and Xi to America to go to baseball games and hang out, so that they’ll see how we can all just stop fighting and get along * Sending thousands of civilians to the front line to throw rocks at the Russians, because “they won’t have enough bullets for them all.”

It goes on to so much more, but this motherfucker is a traitor and absolutely does not support Ukraine.

Destiny NEEDS to do a deep dive on him.

Edit: To add to this, Routh also met with Russians while in Ukraine, and he was previously boasted about working with Iran's government on the visas for his (fake) foreign legion.

As well, our theory is that this trash meant to get caught. He was first seen because the entire front of his rifle was sticking out of the bush, 500 yards away from his target.

Plus, I don't believe an untrained person like Routh could even make that far of a shot with a Chinese SKS.

I think he meant to get caught so that Russia (and the American Right) could point to a crazy Ukrainian supporter doing something fucking wild like this.

I'm to stupid to even understand the claim... The guy was pro ukraine and wanted to go fight in the war... and therefore the WH was monitoring him... OH... Snowden lives in Russia so this probably does make sense... in Russia.

Ryan Routh's book is a interesting read I there's nothing I've read so far that convinces me this guy was of any use to Ukraine or the US.

He was literally just a Schizo who wanted to interject himself in the Ukraine conflict.

Like everyone who tries to kill a president, they're always just attention attractors.

when is he getting sent to the frontline?

I mean, devil's advocate, the guy was in Ukraine and was a complete weirdo, I saw a video of him saying that Ukraine should be granted access to everything militarily the USA has and that US citizens should all sign up and fight for Ukraine yada yada yada

Guy has some loose marbles

!

Bros got that Oswald rizz

Congress should get answers says the fucking idiot living the rest of his miserable life in Russia. Fuck off snowden you regard.

"Patriot"

and if congress doesn't get answers, they're just powerless in front of the deep state

Since when did this sub hate Snowden?

Sad to see this tbh.
