How so?
I refer you to the children's story "Crying Wolf".
Do you remember it?
First of all the story is titled "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"
But, most importantly, the boy was "crying wolf" when there was no wolf.

(I see what you did there) There's a little difference, you wouldn't be the one getting pregnant. It's more like she lied about being HIV positive. That is, in fact, a crime.
She can get pregnant and use the courts to force you to pay child support for the next 18 years. I'd say it's no less serious.
You can make her pregnant.
If you don't want to risk it, use a condom.
Is it so hard?

That is a well known "business" in some places.

Fact: Assange ran from Swedish justice And that's for sure.
Fact: "Swedish justice" was more or less like Ecuador exchanging some multi billion IMF funding for giving him up -- the kind of made up stuff you stick to someone you want to shut up.
Assange ran and fought Swedish justice, there's proof of it, he did it, he said he did it.

Even if it was true, what's wrong with that? He would be sent to USA to respond of his alleged crimes in front of a public court of justice.
>He would be sent to USA to respond of his alleged crimes in front of a public court of justice. Haha, no. He'd be sent to a secret FISA Star Chamber. There's no way he'd be tried in public. And if the Swedish authorities wanted Assange to answer for alleged crimes in Sweden, all they had to do was publicly declare that they wouldn't extradite Assange to the US. That was the sole requirement he had made of the Swedis…
It's not a trade, he allegedly raped a girl, that's his problem.
If I was Assange I would want my name clear on rape allegations, I wuoldn't run away from it.

That's not a fact t all, that's you personal assumption, at best. Assange ran and fought Swedish justice, there's proof of it, he did it, he said he did it.
What I doubt is whether what he flew was "justice" and not the usual staged character assassination attempt, in a country caving in from diplomatic pressure (all too common to lesser states when pressured from superpowers).

That's laughable
Were you already born when Edward Snowden made his revelations? Or how about the Evo Morales grounding incident? [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evo_Morales_grounding_incident
Evo Morales incident is a complete different story.
Snowden was (is?) an american citizen, Assange is not.
Anyway, it is laughable to tjhink that European countries are in the pocket of USA, they are allied, alliance means be on the same side, sometimes even when it is wrong.
It doesn't mean that everything they order, other countries will do.
It's laughable to think that.

Yes, he run. He's no martyr. What I doubt is whether what he flew was "justice" and not the usual staged character assassination attempt, in a country caving in from diplomatic pressure (all too common to lesser states when pressured from superpowers).
You don't say “Sweden is the Saudi Arabia of feminism” or “I fell into a hornets’ nest of revolutionary feminism” if there's nothing wrong with you.
If there were doubts at first, now that both USA and Sweden are asking for extradiction, I'm even more convinced that Sweden wanted just to process him for what he allegedly did.

That's laughable
What about a case when NSA was wiretapping phone calls of member of German governments, including Angela Merkel [1]? US got away with this without any consequences and Germany said nothing. [1] https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/10...
They paid, in money, but they paid.
Hell, they even filmed an entire season of Homeland in Berlin soon after...

What did you think was going to happen? German bombers flying to New York?
