The Empty Seat
With his passport annulled, Snowden is doing a lot of traveling lately-- Hong Kong and then to Russia, and is awaiting word from Ecuador. He failed to board a flight to Cuba today and rumor has it that Russia might hand him over to us afterall. Julian Assange is living in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London after committing acts against the interests of the United States of America.
All amounts in U.S. dollars. Numbers are estimates, usually based on the closest year for which data are available.
All Grant Aid to Ecuador, All Programs, 2009-2014
2009--$64,348,540
2010--$60,541,684
2011--$35,003,155
2012--$35,690,155
2013--$35,690,155
2014--$25,849,155
TOTAL: $257,122,844
Hopefully Russia will turn him over to us and we won't have to consider Ecuador even contemplating accepting Edward Snowden. What's with Ecuador? Was it because we decreased our foreign aid?
