Maduro’s sheltering Snowden gives the MICFiC one more reason to back a coup against him – giving Snowden asylum is a solidarious act, but puts Venezuela at a bit more risk.

I had hoped that Iceland would grant Snowden citizenship, but have read recently that such an act is made less likely due to fear by some that it would negatively impact their economy (by pissing off their export customers).

It’s hard to make predictions, especially about the future.
