After re-reading and a scolding, trying to learn, as requested.
Snowden's re-tweet 'truth to power' could be a white flag of surrender.
Possible Q and aligned patriots had been speaking truth to power throughout and before tables were turned.
Now, Q and related are The Power - and others must speak to them and must tell the truth.
If Snow was faced with same fate of Barlow (1 of 19, now 14 or maybe fewer?), then maybe he's been in RU as an asset of some type - kept there - proxy?. But, if he ceases to be an asset, then Snow is out in the cold? One way Snow could leave RU is if he folds. RU kept and protected him so they could play both sides until 20/20 achieved and RU convinced there is too much winning?
Q referenced some would cease to exist if harm comes to select individuals. We'll likely never know who those were that were harmed or threatened, but Q knows and there is retaliation or consequences.
Snow still in Russia - because?
Maybe Snow helped direct or had something to do with PEOC cyber-attack. After failure, Snow is putting up a white flag of surrender?
All above could be terribly wrong, but we are not trained analysts.
