Well, this certainly makes some of us look a bit stupid after criticizing him for crying wolf a few days ago.
Where was that?

What you've heard is false. The investigation was dropped simply because there was no way to proceed with the investigation with him still hiding away in the embassy. The investigation will be reopened if he returns to Sweden before August 2020 when the statute of limitations expires for the minor rape allegation. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-39973864
No, they chose not to interview him at the embassy or via weblink, because had they done so, the case would have been closed. They rather keep it open.
> URGENT: Ecuador has illegally terminated Assange political asylum in violation of international law. He was arrested by the British police inside the Ecuadorian embassy minutes ago. Source: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/1116273826621480960 Holy moly, this will be interesting! EDIT: If you're interested, here's a video of him being escorted out of the embassy -- https://twitter.com/RitaPanahi/status/111628109…
What does Julian say in the video?
"UK must resist"
"Resist this attempt by the Trump administration"
and something else when he's in the van which I can't make out with people talking over it.

America could have just as easily extradited him from the UK as from Sweden.
More easily. The UK has extradited people to the US on questionable grounds before. I don't think Sweden has.
RIP. It's only a matter of time before he's extradited, and I would think the current US government would definitely push for the death penalty under the Espionage Act. I suppose it's little solace that he'll join a long list of illustrious names prosecuted under that infamous act. (Emma Goldman, Eugene Debs, Victor Berger, Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden)
It's not like that bunch is known for their loyalty, but even sheer self preservation would suggest that they not meddle with somebody who doubtlessly has ample receipts of their interactions.

Fumigate? Does he smoke or something?
There were stories that he wasn't a very good house guest. Didn't clean up after himself or his pet, wasn't very hygienic himself too. Don't know if they are true but wouldn't surprise me to be honest.
I think Wikileaks affiliated/sponsored from Russia 'cause Assange rejected documents about russian corruption: https://www.businessinsider.com/assange-turned-down-document... Anyway, "democracy dies in darkness", so every dirty shit must be highlighted sooner or later.
Assange refused to disclose info on Russia's aggression in Ukraine - FP

Do you guys remember when the airplane of president Morales, was forced down in Vienna when he was on a flight home? Breaking diplomatic immunity, hospitality etc. Just because CIA believed Assange was in that flight, that Morales would help him escape. EDIT: My mistake, that was for Snowden, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evo_Morales_grounding_incident
It was Snowden, and it was a terrible situation. The fact it landed in Vienna is even more ironic. Just another example of the US bullying other countries, and Americans get all pissy with the GDPR.
