The NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden was allowed to leave the airport in Moscow, and was granted asylum to stay in the country for a year. With that status, he cannot be extradicted to America to face trial.
He may be happy about that, but he'll also soon find out that August is not exactly a typical weather month for Moscow. Snowden's from North Carolina. Just wait until he experiences a Russian December, followed by a Russian January, and a Russian February, and a Russian March.
The bad news for him is that he'll freeze his butt off. The good news is that his one year of asylum will feel like twenty.
