The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has pushed back at the Australian government’s complaints that the pursuit of Assange had dragged on too long, with the top diplomat declaring that the WikiLeaks founder is alleged to have “risked very serious harm to our national security”.
Uh, does anyone want to remind these guys about who they elected as their previous president? They should do a bit of introspection if they want to address “national security threats”.
They’re apparently still sore about this:
Some or all of the Podesta emails were subsequently obtained by WikiLeaks, which published over 20,000 pages of emails, allegedly from Podesta, in October and November 2016.
Edit: Also, Trump won the presidency despite not winning the popular vote because of this.
This bollocks has gone on for to long. Let him go.
To paraphrase the Joker, this isn’t about justice, it’s about sending a message.
If Julian was Chinese or Russian, acting in the same way on behalf of his country, the US would be doing nothing right now.
But because he’s a citizen of an ally (vassal), he’s going to be hounded forever, anywhere, until the US shows just how tough they are on “traitors”.America: We fight in your wars. We spy on your citizens for you. We bought your bloody submarines. Can we have our problematic fuckwit back now?
