  How can you commit treason against a foreign country?
  - sofixa 2y ago
    From a another foreign country too. It's pretty similar to the US claiming jurisdiction over Ukrainians running torrent websites from Ukraine. Or over random Afghanis who share their first name (something extremely unique like Omar or Abdul or Mohamed) with a supposed terrorist, enough to kidnap to torture them.

    If it's a foreigner it's possible, but it's called espionage or conspiracy

  Any decent American patriot, anyone with any love for America and its people and its reputation, would want it to not be committing heinous war crimes. The people who committed treason are the ones who dragged us into multiple illegal wars based on fabricated evidence. Those war criminal fucks cost us trillions and trillions of dollars, and are responsible for milllions of deaths. Assange tried to prevent that, and has paid a terrible price for doing so.

    You're not wrong about the wars, but Assange didn't care about any of that, as their own chat logs prove. https://theintercept.com/2018/02/14/julian-assange-wikileaks-election-clinton-trump/ https://theintercept.com/2018/02/14/julian-assange-wikileaks...

      > Assange didn't care about any of that, as their own chat logs prove. You have a strange idea of what proof means. "Hillary has so much slime on her shirt it is now hard to make dirt stick.” Lol. Btw the author of your link, Micah Lee, has been lying to smear Assange for years [0, 1]. 0 - https://contraspin.co.nz/beingjulianassange/ https://contraspin.co.nz/beingjulianassange/ 1 - https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiLeaks/comments/7o96ot/micah_lee_refuses_to_delete_his_tweet_calling/ https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiLeaks/comments/7o96ot/micah_lee...
