Re: USA
> However why did he break bail and refuse to answer the Swedish charges? They would not have extradited him to USA on a dubious charge
Well... here's the interesting point. Assange and his followers claimed that the Swedish charges were a pretext to get him back there so Sweden could then extradite him on, despite it actually being easier to extradite to the US from the UK.
So, if their claims were true, you'd expect that Assange's EAW would get re-instated and he'd get shipped to Sweden, only for the US to then ask for him.
Except, instead they've asked us directly - taking the easier route.
If you think about it, the whole "trumped up Swedish charges to get him to the US" is a conspiracy that involves the US deliberately making it harder for them to lay hands on Assange, in order to lay hands on him.
It was always bollocks. But in the ensuing time, he's helped a hardline administration get into power and they do want him
