Who's just gone public. Yeah. That's right. But yes, you're right. But again, it's this idea that he's filtering.

It does raise the question of what he thought would happen, I think. Because in my view is that he probably thought once these articles came out- that he would be able to go someplace like, I think he even mentioned this as a possibility, like Iceland. Even at this point, I don't think that in his mind, China or Russia are the preferred sort of destinations. Yeah, I think that's true.

I think he believed, again, in this kind of image of him as, hey, I'm the hero in this story, and it's self-evident that what I'm doing is right. I think he believed that someplace more

Now, is that interview the first time that one of his leaks was connected to the US just straight up spying on a foreign adversary. Because that is another piece of this that is obviously not sat well with most Americans, I think, since is that he's revealing here in this interview in China, which by the way, I think

in the context of all of these massive articles coming out in The Guardian the week prior, was sort of ignored, is that he's actually revealing something about just the US spying on a foreign adversary. This had nothing to do with domestic collection. Mass surveillance.

I guess as he goes, he's got to balance the threat of maybe immediate extradition, right? If you go to some place like Iceland and it goes south, you just maybe get sent home much more quickly, straight away. Whereas Hong Kong, you've got a bit more... There's maybe a little bit more political leeway. And so maybe he's got to balance this kind of intermediate kind of airlock, right? Where he's...

He's potentially going to use the leaks and how that sort of gets filtered publicly to build enough credibility to get a place that he considers sort of open to internet freedom or privacy to then accept him. And obviously, it doesn't pan out that way at all.
