US pathetic threat to Russia

As I am scanning my 16 screens for the next forex trade I come across a slightly outdated, but yet relevant new stories about our favorite fugitive; Edward Snowden. Yes, he is still stuck at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport in the transit zone which Russia regards as neutral territory. He has not been seen in public since June 23^rd, but he did have a meeting with human rights activists.

Hi lawyer Anatoly Kucherena stated that Snowden has applied for temporary asylum until the logistics of his future travel have been resolved. The US revoked his passport, but Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela have offered permanent asylum to Snowden. The problem is that none of the countries can be reached via direct flight and Snowden is afraid that the US will force allies to restrict a plane suspected of carrying Snowden from entering their airspace as was the case with the Presidential plane of Bolivia.

Another fear is that a plane suspected with Snowden on board will be diverted and forced to land at an ally air force base where he can be detained. Kucherena did not rule out that Snowden may apply for Russian citizenship in order to enjoy protection there and to be honest that seems to be his best option as it does not take much to apprehend Snowden or worse in the three Latin American countries which offered him refuge and without causing too much damage.

In Russia he would be safe and secure and could leave a free life. Plenty of Russians have offered him money and shelter, one woman offered to adopt him and another ex-Russian spy offered to marry him. There you go Snowden, being married to a very hot and sexy former Russian spy and enjoying life in a great country with her; take it or take it as it is a no brainer.

Should Snowden be granted a temporary asylum he would be free to work and travel across Russia for the next 12 months and Kucherena stated that Snowden applied for temporary asylum rather than political asylum as the process is much faster. Russian President Vladimir Putin, one of the smartest politicians of modern time, said that Snowden could remain in Russia if he would stop leaking confidential information which is damaging to the US.

The US wants Snowden to be returned and face espionage charges which the Department of State calls a fair and just trial. I am not sure too many are convinced and Snowden fears of torture and death are not too far-fetched.  He did what he did was right and exposed internal as well as external spy programs which the NSA installed and executed which invaded not only the privacy of its citizens, but also of its closest allies.

The US is desperate and now barks up the wrong tree while threatening that Russia would risk long-term problems with the US unless Russia does as the US begs and complies. This empty and moronic threat made me laugh as I am looking over the AUDNZD H1 chart and scan my next entry point. It is funny how the weak threatens the strong and thinks they can achieve something with their threat. I am sure every intelligent person in Russia finds the threat equally amusing.

Those who scratch their forehead right now and look like a complete motard wondering what motard stands for, here are a few pointers which may guide you to the amusement destination humans with an IQ above 75 frequently enjoy:

• Russia together with China are the new global super-powers and you can’t mess with this one-two punch which together with Brazil, India and South Africa form what is collectively known as BRICS. BRICS sticks together and forms a strong and powerful foundation with plenty of economic, financial and military power to take out any nation which threatens their borders. Furthermore India and South Africa are members of the Commonwealth of Nations and the head of the 54 independent countries is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II which will stick closer to her agenda than to support a former colony which rebelled against the British Empire.
• The US has been collapsing in all important areas; economy, finance, military. Allies have abandoned the US, but it appears some EU members, at least four, still nurture ties with the collapsing American empire and decided to assist the sinking ship. Eventually they will pay for their pathetic stupidity as no bad deed goes unpunished in the political space. Countries take note and the day will come when those countries need something at which point they will be politely bend over for an anal response.
• The US owes Russia billions of dollars and therefore is in no position to threaten or negotiate anything. Should Russia feel offended enough they will get BRICS to sell US Treasuries in the open market and stop financing the US basic needs which would result in total catastrophe and collapse of most basic services across the US which is what Washington is aware of and therefore all they can do it bitch about the situation; a barking dog does not bite and the US barks quite a bit and pisses on the wrong tree.

Where is Edward Snowden?

Alright, by now everyone knows who Edward Snowden is and for those who still scratch their head about his now infamous name: Where the hell have you been!? Edward Snowden is the 30 year young NSA whistle-blower who made the world aware of two top secret spy programs; one domestic and one foreign. His betrayal to the US intelligence community has not only angered top officials, it also initiated a barrage of events which soured diplomatic relations between the US and a host of countries such as China, Russia and Ecuador.

Edward Snowden’s revelations rank among the biggest security leaks in NSA history, and before this system administrator joined the ranks of the NSA as a contractor employed by Booz Allen Hamilton he was also a contractor for the CIA. He is a high school drop about and former US Army Special Forces recruit, but never completed training.

He has made the public aware of the interception of phone metadata, which is basically data about data and in this case the phone numbers as well as length of phone calls without the actual content, as well as well as two internet surveillance programs; PRISM out of the US and Tempora out of the UK which he knew about as the UK shares information with the NSA.

He is now a fugitive and charged under the Espionage Act. The charges against him include: theft of government property, unauthorized communication of national defense information and willful communication of classified intelligence with an unauthorized person. Eric Snowden made the global public aware of the surveillance programs in an interview with UK newspaper The Guardian this month.

Snowden conducted the interview from Hong Kong where he sought security from US officials. He remained there for a few weeks, but grew uneasy of his personal safety which led him to seek assistance from WikiLeaks and their expertise in this delicate matter. He especially sought out their legal assistance as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is being sought for extradition, but he found asylum and currently lives in the Ecuadorian embassy in London where he enjoys Ecuador’s protection.

So, where is Edward Snowden?

He boarded a plane in Hong Kong and flew to Russia where he is believed to currently be in a transit zone at an airport in Moscow. The US begged Russia to extradite him, but Russia has no extradition treaty with the US and Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Edward Snowden is free to go where he likes. President Putin also stated that Snowden as not entered Russia and that Russia has not contracted him. While Russia will not extradite him, President Putin said he hopes he will leave the country soon.

The US has accused China that Snowden was hired by Chinese intelligence officials in order to infiltrate the NSA through Booz Allen Hamilton which was dismissed by China as pathetic and diplomatic relations tanked. The US has acted in a childish way and does not need to wonder why global super powers have no intentions of cooperating or assisting the US in their issues. The bad seed the US sowed when others were less powerful come home and haunt the US.

Russia has no intentions to assist the US either, but is aware of the exact whereabouts of Edward Snowden. Since the US has decided to arm Syrian rebels and angered Russia with their interference in matters the US has neither right nor power it is only natural that President Putin declines US request in the highest political manners. The US is mad and once again displays its idiocy when it comes to foreign relations.

Edward Snowden is rumored to board a plane to Cuba from where he will be headed to Venezuela before finally arriving in Ecuador where he will seek asylum and his request will most likely be granted. The US revoked Snowden’s passport and Ecuador has issued refugee papers to Snowden in order to ease his travel issues. It is believed that Ecuadorian officials are currently working on finalizing his travel plans as Snowden awaits confirmation in the transit zone of a Moscow airport.

The US has now managed to piss of China and Russia with their accusations and as the US saying goes: ‘Don’t bite the hand that feeds you!’ the US will feel further fallout from their actions. The US has treated other countries like a piece of dirt when they were powerful and others weak; now the tide is turning and the US has a hard time realizing this.

Edward Snowden, thanks for providing great material for a post right here at Rogue Forex Trader. May your travel plans go as scheduled so that you arrive in Ecuador where you can live the rest of your life looking over your shoulder which is the sad reality. Thank you for making all of us aware of what is going on as you can rest assured you have been the cause for a deterioration in diplomatic relations between the US and the new super powers of this world while what may or may not happen in Ecuador has the potential to cause a political scandal.
