Reminder that Assange isn't a US citizen. Imagine if americans were being extradited to China for espionage or even fucking copyright charges like Kim Dotcom.
EVERYONE has broken a another country's laws at some point. Hell, posting here would put us on at least a dozen countries hitlist.
B-but muh merca'?
You don't have to be a citizen to be charged with crimes if you did the crime within the jurisdiction of the United States.
The question is how in the world he committed a crime in US jurisdiction.
Indeed. It's a total sham with the US abusing its economic dominance to make ludicrous demands of its allies.
Of course, the media, both in the US and, to an extent, even in the allies it abuses, will be silent on this.
China will overtake the US economy in 8 years. What will abused allies think then? Who will be their more important trading partner then?
