- crankylinuxuser 7y agoI'm sure.. Because the IMF backed states didn't consider that, and put a time-delay for the request of ousting...
- onetimemanytime 7y agoNo relation at all might be the case but a "wink and a nod" exists and has existed. Break the agreement and IMF will bring hell upon you. So, it's quite possible that US and Ecuador planned this a few months apart to look unrelated. US diplomats aren't shy at all...
- Chris_Chambers 7y agoHis point about the timing still stands. Why would Ecuador assist in the arrest before getting what they want first?
- cheez 7y agoI have no idea how others on this site think that something that happened as long ago as March 2019 (the loan being approved) and Assange's arrest MORE THAN A WEEK LATER could be related at all. It's preposterous. It makes no logical sense. That a country which has not received money from the IMF for more than a decade receives money and a month later, one of the most notorious fugitives holed up in said country's embassy is arrested. I cannot fathom why anyone would think these two things that temporally happened MORE THAN A WEEK APART would be related AT ALL. Shameful.
