If China and Russia don't want him, going to Switzerland or Sweden might actually be a good idea
The first question is would they accept him to even come?

He'd be gambling, but if he can convince them that he is basically a political refugee they might let him stay.
If they do let him in, it would probably be a gamble worth taking. That leak yesterday about the NSA spying on EU nations wasn't by accident. There may be enough political upsetness somewhere in the EU for one of them to take him in.

If he went somewhere like Venezuela or Ecuador he'd be dead in a week.
Maybe, maybe not. Those wouldn't be high on my list of flee nations though.

even if switzerland or sweden accepted him id feel like we would send some kind of gov agents in to handle him.
same with any other country other than china and russia.
that is of course if they aren't using snowden as a distraction to get heat off the other scandals/ a reason to tighten the patriot act even more.

I think allowing him in would be in line with their politics. Whether or not they let him stay is a different story.
