1. So now Snowden is responsible for the Russians

annexing Crimea?

WOW!

[former9thward]

3. He is also responsible for the Russians annexing the Georgian republics in 2008.

He was hard at work early on.... And the Hitler-Stalin Pact in 1939. Don't forget that!

[Rumold]

2. Yahoo Chat

the russians used to conduct all their high level planning on Yahoo Chat.

not so much anymore

[woo me with science]

4. Everyone naturally gets smarter (and more good-looking, too)

when Obama is president.

[Half-Century Man]

5. Do you mean the same intelligence system

That missed the warning signs and out right warnings of the attacks on 9-11
That got the whole weapons of mass destruction thing wrong
That argues for "signature strikes" on cell phones signatures without knowing who owns that phone
Who designates all casualties as enemy combatants, evidentially including wedding cakes

The one that has a thousand private contractors working for it (ran by companies we know are willing to start a war for personal profit). Companies who have the ownership of the data in their possession and cede the access to the US intelligence with out addressing the question of , Exclusive access or not exclusive?

6. Then we read that "US Thinks" Russia has that capability and didn't have it before

The article is based on an anonymous US source. but who cares! Let's pretend that we know when Russia acquired this capability, so that we can pretend Snowden is a spy for Russia.
