What next for Edward Snowden?
Almost everyone knows today about the discontent that the White house has against Moscow regarding the former American computer specialist who worked for the CIA and the NSA and leaked many "top secret" information. President Vladimir Putin from Russia decided to give one year of political asylum to Snowden with one condition of not to publish more information that could harm the United States and the Russo relationship, while the Obama administration is trying to bring him back to the US to stand trial. Obama and Putin were supposed to have a meeting to discuss Russia's decision to grant asylum to a "lawbreaker" but it was canceled. This clearly shows that this two leaders still have an uneasy relationship which doesn't allow to work on resetting diplomatic ties in both sides. Is now Snowden the most wanted man on earth? or is it just another US fugitive? As this case happens, it leaves many questions unanswered. This case could provoke a new "cold war" between the US and Russia because of the leak of secret information.
