"Amended his requirements" aka "Oh shit, I didn't think you'd actually do it. I was only kidding!"
- korzun 9y ago> "Amended his requirements" aka "Oh shit, I didn't think you'd actually do it. I was only kidding!" ? He was never going to do it in the first place. Do you really think that a president would reverse a pardon if Julian Assange did not stand by his words?
- lightbyte 9y agoI think you misunderstood what I meant >He was never going to do it in the first place. That is what I was implying. Julian didn't think Obama would actually commute the sentence so said he'd turn himself in for free PR points.
- wernsey 9y agoNot to mention that it is the Swedes that want to talk to him. The US hasn't called for his extradition.
- atmosx 9y ago> The US hasn't called for his extradition. Maybe not. But I don't think he decided to spend 3-4 years in the Ecuadorian UK embassy because he's having fun there.
- cyborgx7 9y agoWe don't know if the US would call for his extradition and neither does he. I understand why he would try to play it safe. I still think he should be on trial for that alleged rape.
- BearGoesChirp 9y ago'Alleged rape' is a term loaded with propaganda for what he is accused of, especially taking into account what the witnesses have to say about the incidents.

- Pica_soO 9y agoGood thing he wasnt sentenced to embassy arrest for 15 years- that would be something we usually only do to murders.
- nannal 9y agoI thought he just liked the cat
