He got lucky. South America isn't safe for him either. Look what happened to Assange. The Ecuadorian government changed and they kicked him out of the embassy soon after that. He wasted all those years there for nothing.
- WeylandYutani 3y agoWell yeah superpowers can do whatever they want. To be fair to the US they don't push you out of a window. You get your day in court (although it may take several decades- see Guantanamo bay).
- ekianjo 3y agoWasted x years not being in prison?
- zirgs 3y agoHe basically imprisoned himself for all of those years. And what's worse - those years won't be subtracted from whatever sentence he's going to get. I don't understand what his long-term plan was.
- TremendousJudge 3y agoIf I had to choose between being stuck in an embassy and being in a US prison, I wouldn't think about it twice.
- zirgs 3y agoYeah, but without a proper exit plan - you're only delaying the inevitable. He has spent 7 years in the embassy and 4 years in an UK prison - and his trial hasn't even started yet. 11 years and counting - many murderers don't get that much.
