First Assange and now Snowden. One wonders when Ecuador's capacity to act in this role would run out.
- cdash 13y agoWhy should it run out?
- samstave 13y agoIt would run out when they 'harbor' someone for whom the USG would have no qualms violating the Ecuadoran sovereignty to eliminate.
- malandrew 13y agoThat would seriously harm US relations with Mercosul and other Latin American countries. The US already has a poor track record in Latin America. Invading Ecuadorian sovereignty would basically turn Latin America into yet another region with strong Anti-American attitudes like the Middle East. I'm sure Europe would also heavily condemn such an action.
- brown9-2 13y agoHis safety in Ecuador seems highly dependent on the attitudes of the current ruling party/president. What happens if a more US-friendly group takes hold of power?
- general_failure 13y agoThat could happen with any country. Since we are arguing this way - Maybe the next US president has good will towards Snowden and he will come back home as a patriot.
