Not Pynchon. Goes out to a select couple--three. On the media.

Yes, I too admire Snowden. NEVER did i think him a Russian agent or
apologist, albeit some did, maybe this guy I quote, dunno...Snowden's
twitter feed, to take up Morris's unknownness, his public and considered
remarks, was almost entirely about
loss of privacy by government surveillance and actions, including one
positive one about another city close to me, Baltimore, which lost a
civil liberties case and had to pay big.

His last few tweets touched on the growing situation between Russia and
Ukraine including one where he posted a Russian warning about attacks BUT
this is the poignant one as he looked at what he heard:

https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1494818918086631425?s=20&t=FYB_Ywv91IAiG3y_Fhx6iw

He did not comment on this again nor since.

I am believing that he can not believe the country, its leader, where he
had to flee, not his first choice as a place to live as Morris sez, could
do what it has done.
I am projecting that world view of his, but who knows.
