    Assange, whose freedom is widely seen as a test of Australia’s leverage with the Biden administration, was discussed in annual bilateral meetings Brisbane, Australia, last week between Blinken and Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong.

    Is it though?

    Any sovereign nation will just ignore this type of pressure just on principle.

    I dislike Assange immensely, I also despise the way whistle-blowers are hunted down, but the USA has a massive hard on for this guy so they’re not just gonna give up.
