That’s what happens when the US waits to cancel your passport until you are stuck in the transit hub of a Russian airport waiting for your next flight out of the country.
iIRC it took like 12 months until Russia granted Snowden asylum and he could leave the airport hub.
Which itself is based on the true story of Mehran Karimi Nasseri who lived in Terminal 1 of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, France, from 1988 to 2006.
It is uncommon, but passports being invalidated during travel does happen.
Belgium isn’t even mentioned on the Wikipedia page. And France is mentioned specifically from an interview in 2019 where Snowden said he had requested asylum in 2013, but it was denied under President Hollande. A second request later was received favorably by Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet under President Macron, but no other members of the French government expressed support. That’s not at all refusing help from either of them. In fact there are multiple sections in there about his asylum requests to dozens of countries.

Like that Tom Hanks movie! I think it’s called The Terminal

Wikipedia says this guy was mostly responsible for what happened to him. He allegedly lost his passport, and refused any help from France and Belgium.
No idea what the fuck you’re reading, because the Wikipedia page doesn’t seem to say any of that…

In fact, the Wikipedia page goes pretty in depth about his intended travel out of Hong Kong. The US revoked his passport, it wasn’t lost.
His plans upon leaving Hong Kong never had anything to do with US allies, it very specifically avoided them because of US leverage.
So where, on Wikipedia, are you reading the exact opposite of what the Wikipedia page says?
That’s a lot of words for someone with poor reading comprehension skills
Little aggressive, but in your defense, pronouns with limited context can be difficult sometimes.
Unless this is supposed to be a shit post, in which case, bravo.
