Is that the same as speaking pro-Kremlin messages?

At the time he was fleeing the US and Russia thought they could stick it to the yanks. Believing Snowden is pro an even more authoritarian government means you have no idea what the guy stands for.

I think that accepting citizenship in a nation functions as an endorsement of a nation, yes. I think very few people would interpret it differently.

That's incredibly reductionist.
