Isn't Snowden alive because the US decided not to kill him? Doesn't sound like killing him is that hard

[mhoad]

Nobody is coming to kill him. The scenario as a whole makes no sense when you think about it with even the most gentle level of scrutiny.

His only danger at this point is jail.

Yeah, even if you believe the usa is full on evil, extrajudicially murdering someone who was granted asylum in russia makes very little sense from a political perspective given america's position in the world.
