This is what happens when you push an entire (sub?)continent to feel like they must flip you back for embarassing one of their own

I just wish to believe that this was not an accidental event but well thought out strategy by Wikileaks/Russia.

Two countries led by the some of the most leftist leaders != entire "(sub?)continent"

Judging by those who have not granted Snowden asylum, there are many more who support the U.S. than otherwise.

Not granting Snowden asylum does not mean those countries support the US. It means that the US has significant influence it can hold over them.

It also could mean that they don't care about the whole affair enough to get involved on either side.
