WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange faces what could be his final court hearing in England over whether he should be extradited to the United States to face spying charges.

“Julian has been indicted for receiving, possessing and communicating information to the public of evidence of war crimes committed by the U.S. government,” his wife, Stella Assange, said. “Reporting a crime is never a crime.”

    You don’t know what you are talking about.

    How many languages do you speak? Which countries have you lived in and for how long?

    Can you name 5 bullet points about russian history in the 20th century?

    Provide one example of Russia’s positive contribution in the global sphere. Three example w.r.t. USA are Japan, Germany and South Korea.

      American government being fundamentally evil doesn’t mean Russian government isn’t even more* fundamentally evil (which it is)

        No, the US gov is not fundamentally evil.

        They definitely do bad things, but not every single action of the US is bad.

        Every action (every single one) done by the russians is evil.

          That is an overly simplistic view. Russian government has done good things, It funds healthcare for it’s citizens.

          Now don’t get me wrong Russian government is fundamentally evil. But governments are much too complex to only do good or evil things. Every single government has done both many good and evil things.

            I was referring to broader geopolitics. Specifically leadership by US in Germany, Japan and South Korea are strong success stories. Can you provide a similar example for russia?

            What do you know about the evolution of healthcare under putin in the last 25 years? Can you make a factual statement about the evolution of russian healthcare without searching? Or is this a sophomoric attempt at rhetoric?
