In the operational expanse

The 38-day stay of the American defector Edward Snowden in the transit zone of Sheremetyevo Airport ended as it should have ended: the actual refuge in Russia , moving to a certain mysterious apartment under the close observation of employees of the most humane department in the modern world; In a word, the great reverer received a reliable roof and can count on the position of "VKontak" programmer .

I don’t know who could assume that by getting Snowden - or organizing his flight from Hong Kong precisely to Moscow - the Kremlin would refuse such a pleasant opportunity to whip the hated Americans - much stronger and more unpleasant than in connection with the law on orphans and other madness, recently replicated in the legislative and information space. But the way this sneaks happened, perhaps, hit the Kremlin stronger than the White House.

The Russian leadership constantly wanted to prove that it is in a certain legal space and will act in the situation with Snowden in strict accordance with the law. Although the first day of the American’s stay in the transit zone is no different from the 38th and if there was a desire to take the former special agent to Moscow, it would be possible to do this right away, and not to chop the tail that remains of Russian-American mutual understanding, by a piece, every time smiling in embarrassment and breathing into the pipe of the spouse staged behind the adultery: Do not worry There is so much, hut!

As a result, over these 38 days, all the main characters of this story - Putin with his desire to warn Snowden against anti -American activity, assigned to the American lawyer Kucheren, himself "who was going along the corridor of the" transit zone of the defector - turned into heroes of jokes and ridicule. There was no trace of the drama of the story with a shoot from Hong Kong. Especially when it became clear that nothing extraordinary Snowden - as, however, before him Assange and his comrades were not told to the world. That we are dealing with ordinary "useful idiots", amazing that the special services do not grow roses, and diplomats in private conversations are not very courteously expressed at politicians or businessmen: what a horror!

At the same time, the exposure of American adversaries Snowden rushed between the two countries in which there is no one to limit the all -power of the special services - China and Russia - without even trying to think about the real possibilities that the special services have in his own country and in the rescue countries. However, there is nothing new in this either.
