The US embargo of Cuba has always been a travesty, and a rather arrogant and poorly intentioned move. It hurt the Cuban people, not it's horrific, multi billionaire, drug running leaders. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woof999 Posted Wednesday at 09:45 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:45 AM 20 hours ago, SoCal1990 said: Assange just walked a free man and they fought tooth and nail to get him for nearly a decade and failed. They also didn't get Snowden, who still lives a free man now and at the courtesy of one of the USA's greatest enemies. Assange has spent more than 10 years in some kind of pergatory. 7 years living in an embassy and then 5 years in jail. Snowden not quite as long but not far off. He was stuck in a Moscow airport for about a month and has lost everything he had in his previous life, likely never to regain it. You might say that the US didn't get their men, but they sure helped (with other nations involved too) feck their lives up for a significant period of time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey Posted Wednesday at 09:51 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:51 AM 3 hours ago, Purdey said: If it is true that Assange will plead guilty in an American court and will be sentenced to time served in the UK, then he didn't escape. Plus, I am not sure the Americans are trustworthy enough not to incarcerate him for another 20 years once he is on their soil. Just read he has been freed by the court after pleading guilty. Good for him, bad for journalism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we are all also communist, love Marxist ideology, are not patriotic, are anti-American because we are critical of Trump, worship celebrities, and many of us eat babies and drink their blood. Way to go. Keep up the harmony creation, and make America great again with hatred and division. Apart from eating babies and drinking their blood, you got my view of Dems spot on Mike.

No brainer isn't it? If only it were that simple. I suspect Trump got a bump in the polls when he suggested he may pardon Assange. Team Biden immediately decided to take that arrow out of Trump's quiver. I suspect he'd still be fighting extradition if it wasn't an election year. And I'm pretty sure he'll survive through election day, but I'm not too keen on his long term odds of dying from old age. I hope he has a solid steel deadman switch.

It's not a phrase to start with, so on that basis alone, I'd say it's hardly likely to be true. For instance, a Google search for that phrase brings up precisely zero results.

You might say that the US didn't get their men, but they sure helped (with other nations involved too) feck their lives up for a significant period of time. That is all true, but the US was still aiming for far more than that and didn't get it. Julian Assange had an appeal hearing scheduled for July 9-10, 2024. The hearing would have addressed the U.S. assurances regarding Assange’s freedom of expression protections under the First Amendment if he were to be extradited to the United States. The High Court in London had very recently granted Assange permission to appeal on the grounds that the U.S. has not adequately assured Assange that he would be protected under these rights. Therefore, reports indicate that Julian Assange’s release was simply expedited due to the forthcoming July court date where those First Amendment issues were expected to be aired out, addressed and challenged in a court of law. This court hearing in July was seen as a big potential challenge for the U.S. government, particularly regarding the implications for press freedom and the rights of journalists under the First Amendment and, thus the US didn't want that issue argued in a court of law in a high profile case like this. So it was a US government fear of bad optics that freed him. Thus, as a result, the U.S. quickly agreed to the plea deal that just led to Assange’s release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
