De Niro was opening another one of his part owned Nobu Japanese Restaurants for the megarich in Moscow.
He was being polite at the press conference, that's all.
Putin might like to add him to his collection of famous trophy westerners like Depardieu and Jones Jr., probably why the story's being spun by the Russian media, but De Niro's a thru and thru Obama supporting Democrat.

He should move out of the country, most definitely. Although most of the thru and thru Obama supporting Democrats and socialists are in Europe.

Not in the USA.

And he's an honorary citizen of Italy, I am sure there are many braindeadwashed there.

Hm... Snowden's citizenship has been cancelled by US authorities after he left Hong-Kong. So it seems that Snowden-like method of renunciation is much more preferred in terms of costs & paper work.

Snowden can't travel outside Russia, and even inside Russia, there is a constant threat of the CIA either abducting or harming him. His property in the United States has been frozen, and he is barred from meeting his family members. Do you want yourself in such a situation? And that too, for the rest of your life? I don't think so.

Translated, you mean there are some fat slobs of excuses for CIA type agents who would rather go after an easy target like Snowden than some actual bad guy terrorists that might very likely shoot back.

Yep, that sounds plausible. No, it's not exactly right. Yes, the agents could do better for their country.

Good for him, but is he trying to detract from his failed Hollywood career? Russia is as cold and miserable as New York.

Al Pacino is moving to China, by the way guize. Wink

I could think of worse places to live.

Saw a documentary last night called "Dreamcatcher" - about the life of a class of young black girls in Chicago that we aren't supposed to talk about. Disgraceful. And this in the richest nation on Earth. But give me 10 human beings with the same strength of character as Brenda Myers-Powell and the problems of one city could be overcome very quickly. Give me 1000 and.... who knows.

It's correct for normal countries. It's unfortunately, but your belief doesn't matter in case of United States. US has imperial complex and forces every its citizen to fill a declaration of incomings, including those which were received outside of their actual jurisdiction. He will be taxed for the foreign incomings or prosecuted for tax evasion otherwise.

It's very funny because even the "totalitarian" DPRK doesn't force its citizen to act in such way.

OMG! If that is the case, then all of the American expatriates (perhaps with the exception of the diplomatic and military personal) are getting taxed twice, which is extremely unfair. Also, the income tax rate in the US is quite high (can go up to 53% in certain states, such as California and New York). A lot more people should be renouncing their American citizenship in that case.

It's not so simple to renounce your US citizenship. You have to pay fixed renounce fee along with so-called "expatriation tax" which depends on amount of your incomings.

By the way, expatriation tax also applies to non-citizens, who were "granted" with residence permit. Yep, it's a nice scam scheme which treats individual as a kind of private property. Cheesy

I think that some nation could do fairly well by saying something like:

"You know what? The founders of the United States had some really good basic ideas about 'life, liberty, etc' and it served them well for a long time. Now that the U.S. has abandoned most of these ideas and is adopting a position as just another part of the totalitarian one-world govt, we are going to adopt some of these good ideas and try to make our nation move in the direction envisioned by giants like Thomas Jefferson."

I bet that a lot of capable people would make tracks to their doorstep if they were demonstrably serious about such a strategy. Russia with it's defensive capabilities and lack of significant carrying capacity issues would seem like the most promising of nations to try such a track. I'm not holding my breath though.

Corporations have been doing that too (tax inversion): Burger King is not a Canadian company. Medical device manufacturer Medtronic has moved it's HQ to Ireland for a much lower 12.5% tax than the US 35%. Apple has billions of profit overseas, and borrowed $30 billion in the US because they can deduct loan interest from profits and enjoy lower tax.

He probably found out about something and wants to leave.

Or he's not agreeing with the american goverment or maybe he's using this as a backup plan.

Just a few of my guesses here
