Russia is also a hostile nation. To say otherwise would be ignorant. Just look at the news, be it Reuters or another outlet of your choice, as long as they aren't propaganda arms of China or Russia.

Who is China engaged with on War terms? Who are they attacking? Also seems to me, that the USA is engaged in more Hostility and on more fronts, than Russia, China, and every other Nation combined. To say "Otherwise" would be ignorant.

I read both Chinese and English. In Chinese (state controlled) media, American news is about 70% positive/neutral and 30% negative. However in American mainstream media, Chinese news is like 80% negative.

If someone is stirring a fight, it's definitely the west.

That's okay, once he's back, arrest him, try him, find him guilty of a capital offence and shoot him.

Thankfully that's not the way it works.

You sound like you would be happy living in an ISIS ruled regime. That's how they behave.

Under your kind of Justice, I suppose it would be OK for those who support Snowden to arrest and shoot folks who think like you first. But then you would be the first one screaming for your "Constitutional Rights," right?

Problem with that is he needs to be convicted to have a pardon. So, Edddie boy, come on back, get convicted and we'll see about a pardon.

Course it may not happen, pretty much can guarantee no pardon for a traitor.
Wrong. Every president has pardoned people who had not yet been convicted.

I would be shocked if Obama pardoned Snowden.

I highly doubt he will.

Snowden humiliated Obama, so why would Obama pardon him? I think Snowden will get a pardon someday, but it will be in like 30 or 40 years.

Snowden knew the consequences of his actions and has to live with them. He was unhappy in the "oppressive" United States and fled to the beacon of democracy that is Russia. Lol. If he really wants that pardon, he will kiss Obama's ass and apologize (and probably still will not get it.) Neither Hillary nor Trump will give him that pardon either lest they inspire others like Snowden to come forward.

I think Snowden has grown and regrets his earlier actions, TBH.

He should get a MEDAL. It should never be illegal to expose the corruption of the political class. If we wanted to punish people for treason, we have an entire political class that for the last 30 years has deserved the worst punishment possible for purposely sabotaging what once was a great nation.
