I see a few discussions about Assange from back in 2010. It is now 2022, and the US seems pretty certain to be able to get him deported here with the cooperation of the UK so that they can prosecute him under the Espionage act. Which is odd, because how can you prosecute a foreign national under a US law for information that they received from Americans. Why would an Australian citizen be subject to US law when he wasn't even living in the US? He didn't steal information or copy information, he just took what was given him and published it. Does anybody else see this as a gross injustice?

Your country wants to rule the world and yet won't intervene in Ukraine...

@dawnald Nobody wanted to stop Hitler at first, either.

I sympathize for Ukraine, but nobody wants to start WWIII

I see your point here, but it doesn't seem right that he published the information. No country wants their military secrets leaked.
