    Cuba was right there, the US failed to kill Castro many many times, granted Snowden wouldn’t have had nearly the security as the leader of the country. But I somehow think the Cuban government would want to keep him safe to piss off the US, I guess he could be used there as a bargaining chip though so maybe I’m not the best spy

      The US government probably has little interest in assassinating Snowden, honestly. “We can kill people in other places” isn’t really much of an example maker anymore, nor news to anyone. Now, trading him back to give him a hefty prison sentence as an example to other domestic whistleblowers? That’s probably much more in the cards.
