Those were the Sweden rape charges and that was actually 2010. He went to the embassy in 2012. The Trump admin charged him under the Espionage Act in 2018.
Couldn’t find it in English since lets be honest western media lies about what happens in South America, but here’s El Pais in Spanish about it.
Basically he was dismissed since he threatened to arrest Evo Morales who is the former president and a possible future canidate for the president. Morales is a very popular left wing leader who was forced out in 2019, but all western media will tell you is that he is corrupt while denying the legitimacy of the elections he won. Morales is also the first indigenous leader of Bolivia the only majority indigenous South American country I believe which has a lot to do with the opposition to him.
Bit of a double standard though, right? They don’t have to affirm Palestinian’s right to statehood. If not saying Israel is a legitimate state is anti-semitism, wouldn’t that make the same stance toward Palestine islamaphobia?
Modi better be careful lest he get the Imran Khan treatment from the US.
It can’t work for every country. The main reason it works for Israel is that they hide behind anti-semitism accusations. We need to normalize willingness to criticize people regardless of their race.
Assange thought it was win favor with Trump and maybe get him a pardon.
??? The emails were leaked before any charges were filed. The Trump admin filed the charges. Ultimately the Biden admin cut him a deal. Obama or other democrats didn’t seem to want to charge him.
Seeing as it was just patched together from other releases with Russian disinfo laced in between - it should have been removed a long time ago.
Could you show what specifically was fake?
Asked about those findings on Monday, Miller noted that Israel said there were no tanks in the area, and that the State Department couldn’t attest to any particularities because it is only conveying what Israel has said.
The Washington Post previously confirmed there were armed military vehicles in the vicinity, as did Al Jazeera’s analysis of satellite imagery.
Most expansive intelligence apparatus on the globe, but they just can’t figure out what’s going on in Gaza.
What Euro Med said was also based on the testimony of locals. Sounds like he said she said and since the IDF destroyed all the buildings in that area it’ll be tough to prove definitely.
There are holes in Israel’s story here.

Aljamal lived on the first floor of a multi-story building, according to Euro-Med. The IDF said the hostages were found on the third floor.

From this interview in the Atlantic, looks like the guy being interviewed thinks it’s probably not constitutional as written. Basically it could run afoul the first amendment and they’d have to write a more specific law to enforce it.
Hmm, I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks for the info.
This seems to imply that there aren’t already ICC warrants for Putin. There are…
Feels like Trump’s ties to the Saudis and Emeratis don’t get enough attention. The Russia stuff is definitely important as well but in these cases you have business dealing with actual state officials.
Edit: actually the other thing was with Oman not the UAE.

I agree with the article here that the increased spending has more to do with the Russian invasion. On the other hand Trump’s comments on NATO in 2016 were where we saw NATO sentiment explode as people saw supporting NATO as resisting Trump. It really was key to rehabilitating the image of NATO after Libya and Afghanistan.
This is El Pais America, separate from the outlet in Spain.
