Not sure what you're suggesting, but if you're wondering why Snowden doesn't leak details on Russia regarding the Ukraine situation, I think the answer is really simple, Snowden leaked on NSA because he worked at NSA, thus he was in capacity to leak what he leaked, but as he certainly doesn't work for FSB he certainly doesn't have access to what you're asking for. What it would require though is a russian working for FSB, maybe inspired by Snowden, he might even safely ask for asylum to US after such a leak.


That would put the US in a fantastically difficult position - they can't be anti-Snowdon but pro someone doing it to another government.


Torturing prisoners, invading iraq on false pretense, sending drones/soldiers into pakistan, spying on allies... I think the US wouldn't have problems handling that situation, that's peanuts.


Of course you can, if what is revealed is considered more "whistleblower"-worthy (say, secret plan to kill babies).

All whistleblowing is not the same.
