Huh? You think Julian Assange is Putin's buddy?
His editorial policy on the release of leaked information was, for lack of a better term, biased.
Editorial policy is a blatant excuse. Have you scrutinized Fox News, CNN, DW and RT editorial policies? Want them tortured to death too? Nah, that's just the USA state giving us a lesson to keep our heads down, nothing more, nothing less.
We want them all held responsible. That some aren't isn't a reason none should be. We have to start somewhere. We shouldn't stop there.
Use the right words, to "held him responsible" means to potentially murder him in the name of democracy. Add to this that the USA state is not going after all these people, nevertheless, they are crossing borders for Assange. They want to show him to the world as an example. Their efforts resemble those they took to get to Osama.
First. No realistically it doesn't. Second, they should. I never said they shouldn't. Specifically I said they should hold them all responsible. So I don't know what you're getting at. You're not even addressing what I said.
And who exactly do you expect to talk about the crimes the US commits? Their allies? Just because the information comes from a biased source doesn't change the fact that all of the information is accurate. Doesn't change the extrajudicial killings, illegal detentions, torture...
Like, I'll give you that he is biased. So what? Are you proud of the things he revealed the US is doing? We commit crimes and then hide behind "national security" when the only "security" being threatened is that of those on top commiting these henious acts and hoping to get away with it.
The source doesn't change the facts that were presented.
Just like you know billionaires' wealth will trickle down to you eventually? Both ideas came from the same source.
Right after they moved servers to Russia he started echoing Kremlin talking points. He's likely an asset at this point.
There are no servers in Russia lmao
As far as I can tell, you're right, I haven't seen anything about the wikileaks servers. Maybe Peaty was thinking about how Assange heavily implied he got documents from a murdered Democratic party employee when he really got them from a Russian intelligence agency.
