this entire thing is beyond insane now.
so we tried to threaten ecuador by saying we will pull their priviledge of buying products from us if they let snowden in/don't hand him over.
ecuador just replied:
Ecuador's government gave the Obama administration a defiant response in the face of warnings not to grant asylum to NSA leaker Edward Snowden, sending the message that it does not need U.S. aid and assistance.
According to Reuters, Ecuador said Thursday it was waiving favorable trade rights under a trade agreement with the U.S. In a dig at Washington, officials there also offered the U.S. $23 million in aid for "education about human rights."
The moves were a signal that Ecuador was not considering its own U.S. benefits in weighing Snowden's asylum request.
at the same time obama is in africa saying we aren't scrambling jets for snowden.
face palm.
