Did you sleep right through 2012?
ah ok yes, he worked for "russia today". What I mostly meant is that the russians didn't help him when the anglo-US-swedish govt started to persecute him. As a side note, around that time (starting ~2010? I dont exactly remember) the russians hired a bunch of western libertarians/pseudo libertarians who cared to criticize their own governments. To some degree it was a 'win win' situation, except for the fact that libertarians getting a subsidy of sorts from the russian govt doesn't really add up. still, regarding assange and manning, they did manage to correctly paint the US govt and lapdogs as completely insane, cold blood murderers, and got rewarded with jail/torture, as expected.
