Which means Assange knew it was a double bind when he said what he said. They never tried to extradite him, even if it was implied. This now means that everyone expects the US to extradite him, which is what they were trying to avoid to begin with by extraditing him to Sweden. And, if they do extradite him, the US will have to come up with a reason why they didn't to begin with.
Brilliant move and interesting timing. This chess match is just getting going.
- notahacker 10y agoWhy would the US show the slightest inclination to change to its longstanding policy of not showing any interest in extraditing Assange based on a tweet?
- kordless 10y agoThat is an unanswerable question, given the current lack of data.
- plugger 10y agoWhat happens if the US accepts his offer, extradites him to the US, and then immediately extradites him to Sweden at their request? It would effectively blow up his continual insistence that the Swedish extradition is nothing more than a smokescreen to get him to the US.
