Efforts to extradite Wikileaks founder Julian Assange from the UK to the US have gone on for years. Here’s what’s been going on and what might happen in court this time.
Am not from the US, so I don’t care a bit about Pelosi. Assange itself made it apparent he’s on a russian payroll.
For one, when the Panama Papers came out, Assange was quick to critise it for badmouthing russians. To quote them:
#PanamaPapers Putin attack was produced by OCCRP which targets Russia & former USSR and was funded by USAID and Soros"
Hell, let’s take Assange’s words about why they never poke Russia?
In Russia, there are many vibrant publications, online blogs, and Kremlin critics such as Navalny are part of that spectrum. There are also newspapers like Novaya Gazeta, in which different parts of society in Moscow are permitted to critique each other and it is tolerated, generally, because it isn’t a big TV channel that might have a mass popular effect, its audience is educated people in Moscow. So my interpretation is that in Russia there are competitors to WikiLeaks, and no WikiLeaks staff speak Russian, so for a strong culture which has its own language, you have to be seen as a local player.
Him sucking up to Putin afterwards so he can say alive in Russia is irrelevant. If that is a crime then I suspect Tucker Carlson is going to jail soon.
Oh no, a russian asset going down.
Exposing American war-crimes and violations of the constitution. Also called “being a Russian Asset”.
Thanks Pelosi.

He’s either an asset or a willful idiot.
How is your wall of text relevant?
What Assange exposed were grave war crimes of America murdering Reuters journalists and denying it happened.
Here’s the video you should consider watching it and get educated

Likely the latter, I think that as somebody living in Russia.
Which country’s citizenship that Snowden guy accepted again?
I think all the “liberals” on Lemmy just love him.
What’s the difference between these two assets then? That one of them didn’t bite your team in internal politics?
That would mean using foreign assets against your countrymen, which wouldn’t be good?..
This is what bothered me. I’m all for sticking it to the government but he picked and chose who to hurt and he went after liberals.
And serial rapist, let’s not forget that
Innocent until proven guilty
So t worry I am sure it is like Hydra and there will be two to replace him.
