I haven't heard that strategy kicked around before.
I think Putin really mishandled this situation and blew an opportunity to increase his global credibility and strengthen US relations in order to one-up Obama and the US. (Re-read LC's "Putin is a bad-ass biker" thread this morning; made me laugh.)
Whether Snowden has anything more than he's already leaked, IDK. Whether he'd go to work for Russia to undermine the US, IDK. But, I really don't see how anyone can consider him a hero or a patriot. I think he's a dickshine.
It'll hurt Putin if Obama snubs him and cancels talks at the summit. I think that's probably what he'll do.
I may be alone here, but I think Snowden's a flash in the pan and not worthy of all the attention he's receiving. Guess we'll see.
