the u. s. is also suffering from soaring inflation. many americans are blooming the biden administration for that with a 5th of respondents and a recent nationwide policy per leadership in the country. so the problem doesn't include democrats with some quitting the party and even switching sides, breaking it all done for us. ortiz kill of morphin. apparently, it's not only working families throughout america who are disappointed by the biden administration's handling of several crises. it's also members of biden's own democratic party, some like the former spokesperson for the washington dc. mayor, have decided to switch over to the republicans in hispanic and also black eyes. i should be democrat by default, but i'm going against their narrative and i feel like right now, everything is crumbling for the democrats biden is completely destroying the economy right now. and people can feel it in. so that's what's happening in washington, d. c. now, washington, d. c is a city that is pretty solidly in the democratic camp. democrats sometim

u. s. withdrawal and afghanistan may have been found out. he speaks to the family that took the boy in and joined the search for his parents. do it suddenly i saw this baby on the ground crying in pain. it was too hot and the baby was just wearing a shirt. so it was difficult for me to leave him there. ah, by the way, the weekends developments and the biggest store is covered here over the past 7 days. welcome to the weekly with me calling bright 1st for your tension. so the ukraine ran high this week with russia slamming a west for fueling, the escalation and voicing concern and nato's actions in the region. moscow says they could potentially lead to a large scale conflict. the escalation occurred, offer ukranian navy ship approach to rushing waters without authorization. on thursday evening. i moved the brush are regarded as a threat to the navigational safety of other vessels in the area. are you crying? denied all allegations and insisted the ship was an unarmed search and rescue vessel that never entered restricted waters all posed any

the other 2 grounds were the assurances that the u. s. would not subject julian to extreme isolation or put him in the florence, colorado maximum, secure superman prison. but they came with caveats which even the judges acknowledge. so that if julian did anything that was deemed by the c, i a to legitimate the use of sam, special administrative measures, which is just extremely installation and monitoring all contact with your attorneys, how he could then those sam's could be imposed on him and he could be held chris in florence, it was interesting this. yeah, we've only got 30 seconds. i want to so i want to pick up one of the you said about there, but his mental state, that's the whole key today. the judges said, well is mental state is not valid, but in the consideration. and that is why they've allowed it no literary 30 seconds . all the sun just low is going to find strong enough ground to appeal the decision really successfully or not using what she got on it. i think he's being railroaded into the embrace of the united states. i me

s. war crimes, basic civil liberties, and not to mention julian assange, the u. s. says astonishes on trial for endangering lives. pretty sure that the u. s. or the guys with the missiles and the wiki leeks guy had a website. well, we still gotta find out how he did it. was it square space to go deeper into the unprecedented case against assange? i'll talk to journalist mohammed l mossey mohammed l mozy is the founder and editor of the new site. the interregnum has by lines in the canary, jacobin the grey zone and the real news. then we'll go to corresponding anders lee with some mind blowing old news about how sweet an almost me to turn towards real socialist economic policy in the 1980s, but was stopped by a very popular musical group. first, here's my interview with mohammed o mossey. hello and welcome mohammed. it's so great to have you on to talk about this. so before we get into the charges, let's go through a short history of sanchez captivity. can you help us go through it? for 1st he was at the ecuadorian embassy, then he was at bell marsh prison, and now h

s. as they're no longer comfortable with the u. s. as a jurisdiction for chinese tech and the scrutiny that they will face. apparently the u. s. doesn't seem to want china to list here anyways. so seems like this is one point that both nations can agree upon. it's just a shame that you have all these companies that are just caught in the middle that want absolutely nothing to do with the politics of it all. absolutely not bad. i have one more thing i want to hit on here. it's been a tough year for chinese internet, billionaires. they've lost more than $93000000000.00 from their combined network since april. and i have about a minute left. what's the story there? yeah, i think the story of the 2 words used there. it's important internet billionaires is not all billionaires, it's those who have made their money. where in that internet space, because as christy just said, it comes right as china is cracking down on companies that are too big and spread out into too many different industries. and so if you are a part of dd or if you're ja

u. s. president pointed out what he called the threatening nature of russian troop movements near the ukrainian border and said severe sanctions were being drawn up. moscow insists it can move its troops wherever it wants on its own territory, while saying its nato that is making the dangerous move. the cremeans spokes person talk to r t about how nato's actions are being regarded in russia. you see jeanette intuitive, which is rhetoric is coming from the u. s. and e u leaders sounds pretty aggressive . we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning an aggressive invasion . at the same time, no one talks to kia, non warns kiev again, even thinking of a military intervention in the guns conflict with him on that issue. and you know, we need to need to take in an extremely aggressive position and they all say they don't accept any red line voter. second, they say that nato will do what everyone wants, that it will do it on whatever territory one day. i mean, florida, that all of t

and for the 1st time, put the u. s. in the backsliding category and the democracy summit guest list has also raised some questions with participants such as zambia pakistan and nigeria classified by the index as hybrid regimes, not democracies. participants, iraq and nisha were even declared as authoritarian, and the democratic republic of congo was nearly at the bottom of the list of the least democratic countries. i meanwhile, the us national security adviser says american policies are less and less guided by the revere to global institutions. of the un i m f and the world bank. he says the u. s. needs more flexibility. we have entered a phase, i believe in foreign policy and international relations where it's no longer the formal, you know, the united nation and the i, m f and the world bank and so forth. we now have more of a complex mix of structures. there is no power the united states isn't you know, establishing its authority. it's a guy, it's a nation on the decline right now. and the amount of trickery will ch

it looks like the u. s. after finally leaving afghanistan is, is, and after 20 years of occupation and 40 years of intervention. if we go back to the time that the u. s. was supplying the so called insurgence or g harness in, in afghanistan, 40 years. so the us has left there. it looks like the u. s. in the military. industrial complex is looking to to increase the conflict in ukraine and have ukranian blood and russian blood you know, as they don't care about that, it seems so put in recently stated that the west and nato have lied to russia many times and that he is now demanding legal security guarantees that's very important to him. do you think there will be forthcoming with those guarantees, or is it going to be business as usual? well it's, it's really hard to say it would be very much in the interest of the american people as well. as people all over the world to come to some kind of agreement. but we don't know right now there's so many factors that work. there's domestic politics in the united stat

he indeed has no obligation to the u. s. government, and yet they are seeking to apply the u. s. a spinach act against a journalist and publisher who is located outside of united states for actions he took outside of the united states, which would normally be covered under the 1st amendment. so it's yeah, very disconcerting for. yeah, but yeah, there's a number of unprecedented things going on here. you have that. it's a, a foreign journalist and you have the fact that they're targeting his, his publishing. so let's, let's talk about how independent reporters and news organizations should be really concerned about this. what should they be alarmed by? well, it's the extra territorial application of u. s. law. normally something people associated with imperialism, right? so for example, if a u. s. citizen, or anybody else killed somebody outside of your jurisdiction. normally you can't be tried rights for actions that have occurred externally thus in a separate legal jurisdiction. but yet, for some reason, with the espionage act, we're saying that he can be, i'm, and well imagine

the u. s. is openly sending arms to give washington revealed that 30 javelin anti tank missile systems were delivered to ukraine in october as part of a $60000000.00 military aid package. and if further, $200000000.00 are on the table as well. and with the ongoing military build up on russia's borders, the g 7 group of advanced economies has threatened russia with a severe response if it attacks ukraine. moscow though, denies any plans of invasion and interests, its nato that poses a threat to russia by expanding further east, closer to its borders. but the white house believes that only it has the right to draw the line. yes. oh. of course, the diplomacy is out and red lines of that to be crossed when the big bad wolf is planning a land grab ring a bell. a similar warning came in the spring when russian troops gathered for snap training exercises. and again, when military drills were conducted in crimea, and only recently moscow was supposedly the mastermind of a qu, in key of remember the cur

you know, a u. s. warship has now entered the black sea. we can see it through binoculars or the crosshairs of our defense system system alone or multiple missile systems just across the fence. it what it was with him look at where nato's military infrastructure is located, just a short distance from our borders in romania and poland. and to miss our defense systems have already been deployed and they can easily be converted into offensive missile systems that targets us. it only takes a matter of minutes to change the software. now, instinct tells me that a russian destroy was spotted steaming into new york harbor. it would be a flaming red line for washington, but believe it or not for us all, this is a pink line at best. the real issue is nato, or rather, nato's expansion and expanded it has from this humble state in 1990 to this empire in 2020. now back in the day, russia was promised, nater would grow not one inch eastward of berlin. wel, that's berlin. so no, it's not an inch, it's over a 1000 kilometers. and now it's knocking out rus

s. and the u. s. backed political actors at the time that created their crisis, and russia did not invade crimea or sylvester pool. they were there already, and there was a, there was a transition, crimea was reunited with russia and had been separated in 1954. so these nuances never get talked about. and so they think rushes in, violation of all these international laws. and that justifies nato expansion. so if we come to a forum, if we come to a negotiation table, these details should come out. will they though, is this what the u. s. wants do they want to have that conversation? i don't think they do. i don't think their allies do, they want to keep it in the realm of hyperbolic aggressive, to drive by comments and accusations. because there, you don't have to have, you know, you really don't have to abide by any international agreements or treaties. your just seem to be reacting to russian aggression. so i think this is a really important point. you know, george is a 2 document set out for pres

but the u. s. federal reserve is still hesitant to undertake serious measures like raising interest rates a tron curb. inflation has got to peter early in the year, or is he from the american shoot for economic research? peter is going well here tonight. think inflations of faith in us. hello there. thanks. a been live on the program. so moderate inflations generally regarded as a hope that helpful facts of the economy. but so what about these current figures? it's a step too far for ordinary people trying to pay their bills and that yes, thanks gregory. so there's a view that low level inflation is, is good to be economy. i'm not sure i subscribe to that, but certainly the kind of inflation we're seeing now is very pernicious and it breaks down as many aspects of the economy in many ways bite must accomplish town earlier in november. seems so steady to, to now, to says can be around for a while to come. and now we've got the highest inflation rates nearly for decades. where is it going to go it, i

and then u. s. i saw that in your case should force them in the less i will as soon as the weekly's of me with i'm follows you or henders different shops killer. he's he get i have, we're on. there were sort of, we feel the contra money out of my little bit of the with quickly understand. okay . understand that i've got you even there you're pulling on her la. mainly just the only response of the union. did julian assange encouraged chelsea manning to steal secret documents as the prosecution claims manning was pardoned by obama and is now a free woman. but just before the start of the trial, she is again summoned to appear before the grand jury asked if his hunch helped her leak secrets, she tells the judge, i'd rather starve myself to death and change my position on this case. as a result, she goes to prison again and has to pay heavy fines. but she does not give in the fascination of insect a villi either in the killing of rogers generally the killing of children. that is the real harm that shoul

s. and the u. k. government, both members of the 5 eyes intelligence alliance and clearly wiki leaks, join us on poses a grave threat to this, to complete dominance of the information space, a digitally and globally. so that's one of the main things i think that they're concerned about having him. basically free is something they want to avoid doing. and so this ruling today is, is basically gonna bring it if it goes to appeal to a low court where we're looking at or maybe another year. so the whole timeline of this, just this saga of the, of the case 3 years. and so this is really a game of attrition that's being played. i think by the british authorities and coordination with the u. s. of, there's definitely political overtones to this that, beyond a doubt now there's involvement of the intelligence agencies from the u. s. and may be more than that. that's also beyond debate now. so you have a completely political situation. so you have a political prisoner, effective in terms of the prosecution,

and lately the u. s. c, itself has said that it has detected more and more troops and armor ukrainian making their way towards the breakaway republics. vladimir putin in this vein has also spoken about the tragedy of civilian life. more than 2000000 civilians trapped in that conflict. so enduring this, endless bombardment than he himself has likened.

s. u. k. and canada to provide military support against the legit risk of a russian invasion is also warning of a potential migrant crisis. if war does actually break out. we spoke to political commentator, crisp ambry on why he thinks key f is becoming increasingly aggressive. ukraine is becoming more, more almost hysterical in demand if you like to join a. so i should be supplied with high tech weapons by america in the west. so it is becoming more warm cervical because it's going to the situation. it's not getting what it wants to weigh a membership. but there are growing voices in the way. you want to say why you could not be allowed to join nato despite the fact was, is very clear. this is a read why image russian will not want to be cross. good, simply, if your credit was to join nato, it will be over a 100 miles in some ways to 300 miles more school. something russia is going to do with bridge. the problem is given to mikhail gorbachev, need to know why. so why any members, any of the f

this is the start of a new u. s. campaign against russia malign behavior. the u. s. government claims the strategic culture foundation is in fact controlled by russia's foreign intelligence agency, the s p r. and that is also linked to the russian foreign ministry. the foundation that denies this and calls itself a research platform about your asian global affairs, but doesn't resolve, says a dangerous precedent has already been set. i think that the, that the at the s c f, the foundation hosts honest journalism. even though out i don't, don't agree with much of it. this is, this is serious work by serious journalists. and that as a supporter of a free speech in a free press, i believe that readers should have access to this kind of stuff. and, and yet the, the u. s. government is trying to close it down. and therefore, trying to stop information, which is usually at variance with official us policy, from reaching from reaching audiences, including audiences in the us, to stop journalists from writing for these kinds of websites as a new step. and i think that and

and spain threatened to cut off the extradition treaty with the u. s. that is when the u. s. felt pressure, they wanted to keep extra dining people from spain. and so it's only because this was imperiled and in danger of being cancelled that they then sent him back and it was expedited for drug trafficking and money laundering. and he told me, if they did that to him, if the united states did that to mendoza, what are they going to do to julian thought. this is a common practice. the united states violates its assurances, its diplomatic agreements, whether it's iran nuclear deal, whether it's, you know, a prison transfer assurances for a saundra window that they're going to violate the mark my words. this is going to happen. mendoza, certain of this, can i interviewed him for this? and he's seen dozens of people from spain, from columbia, from mexico, from all over the world who've been given assurances. and once they get to the us, it's violated these documents that i published. they weren't seen by the court yet . they weren't submitted in court. and i'm convinced that i

we condemn today's u. k. high court decision to allow the expedition of julian sans to the u. s. which will prove historic for all the wrong reasons. we fully believe that julian assigned has been targeted for his contributions to journalism. meantime, so from that classified documents have been laid by showing other u. s. appears to have broken diplomatic assurances and another extradition case. similar to that was chilling assange no faces this time. the guy's name is david mendoza. he says he only agreed to be expedited by madrid to america on condition he be allowed to serve any sentence in spain. he says that he even signed the documents with the american and spanish governments, assuring him of that condition. but the u. s. then went on to hold of in jail for almost 7 years before eventually returning him. and only after he taken legal action against america, we spoke 2 independent journalist, which had med, her stu, released the documents to the case. you know, they've told us that he can serve any potential sentence in his home country, australia. they said the exact same

and i think the u. s. was finally backing away from this idea that they now recognize they can't stop it from happening. well, ben, europe's obviously been in the grip of an energy crisis. how disruptive would sanctions on the pipeline be to ordinary europeans? do you think? why would the extremely serious consider the fact that that what congress was proposing to do was to place sanctions, not just on germany itself, but on any private company that helped to certify the actual pipeline itself. they wanted to sanction individuals and sanction companies that would be part of the certification process, which of course, is madness. the idea that you would punish these groups for certifying a pipeline that again, as you mentioned, europe in the midst of a terrible energy crisis right now, watching the cost of energy continue to stop skyrocket and of course winter is now upon us. and so in europe specifically, they have a desperate need to get as much energy as quickly as possible to bring that price down, nor

s. and e. u leaders sounds pretty aggressive. we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning an aggressive invasion at the same time, no one talks to care of non warns care of against even thinking of a military intervention in the done yet elegance, conflict, museums, toneta, and your mouth. now we see that nato is taking an extremely aggressive position burst. they all say they don't accept any red lines. second, they say that nato will do whatever it wants. 3rd, it will do it on whatever territory it wants forth. all of this is aimed to deter russia. we do not like that. we will do everything to ensure our own interests. are what ukraine in the west accuse, rusher of farming the south proclaim republics in the east ukraine. the u. s. is openly sending arms to care. washington revealed the 30 javelin anti tank missiles . systems were delivered to ukraine in october, as part of a $60000000.00 military aid package and further $200000000.00 could be on the table as well. now, one of russia's long and unchanging calls i

as new reports indicate u. s. federal agencies, including the military, have purchased china, made video surveillance equipment banned from youth in the federal government. now, according to purchasing records, seen by tech crunch and video surveillance news site i p v m. the agency called elective li, spend thousands of dollars on purchasing video surveillance equipment manufactured by laura x. a wholly owned subsidiary of di was technology. now you probably never heard of this company, but it is one of several from china that were banned from selling to the u. s. federal government under 2019 different spending law over the years. fears that the technology could help the chinese government conduct. so for more on this let's bring in, boom, that's fun. and christy i to discuss ban. let me start with you. we break down for us. what this report found, what government agencies were buying this equipment? yes, pretty interesting as, as we've talked about for about 2 years now, right, there was been a huge concern abo

how and why the u. s. was seeing things that we were not seeing if i have to compare soundbites from before this info. and then at the nato meeting in riga, there was a big shift towards the u. s. version of things. the new wave of tension comes as us and russian presidents are set to talk by phone, as i mentioned, joe biden, looking in no mood to negotiate. yes. oh, of course, the diplomacy is out and red lines of that to be crossed when the big bad wolf is planning a land grab ring a bell. a similar warning came in the spring when russian troops gathered for snap training exercises. and again, when military drills were conducted in crimea, and only recently moscow was supposedly the mastermind of a qu, in key of remember the currency of no mean either because it didn't happen. in fact, none of the predictions came true, but this time apparently it's different. this time, it's the real deal, and to feed the fair, they're even drawing up the criminal battle plans the new year offensive. and for the umpteen

s. u. k. and canada to provide military support against the alleged risk of a russian invasion is also warning of a potential migrant crisis. if war does actually break out. we spoke to political commentator, crisp ambrey, on why he thinks kia is being, is becoming increasingly aggressive. ukraine is becoming more, more almost hysterical in demand, so they'd be allowed to join nato. and it should be supplied with high tech weapons by america in the west. so it's becoming more warm cervical because it's going to the situation and it's not getting what it was totally, something needs to membership. but there are growing voices in the way. you will say, why is you create not be allowed to join nato despite the fact was no peace is very clear. this is a read why image russia will know to be cross. good. if ukraine was to join nato, a little over a 100 miles in some ways to 300 miles from boston, something russia is going to do with accidents. reputation breaks the promise given to mikhail gorbache

while the u. s. has been pursuing assange after he revealed classified information on american military activities during was in afghanistan and iraq. ah, with me, while russia's foreign ministry has slammed the court verdict highlighting that it coincides with the end of the summit, the democracy hosted by the united states. this shameful verity can a political case against a journalistic and public figure is another manifestation of the cannibalistic world view of the anglo saxon tandem. the west marks international human rights day and the end of the summit for democracy with dignity. now i also spoke with your political analyst, patrick kenny sin. he says that the west us think it's rhetoric on democracy and freedom of speech only applies to other countries. the. they like talking about journalism early like talking about media freedom or they like to impose it on various other developing week countries. target nations. nations singled out for regime change, but when it comes to actually living u

the u. s. has been pursuing us on after he revealed classified information on american military activities during war's in denison and iraq. the with the right to me, the doctor. but i think you're very good medical the me in a major publications like the guardian in london, the new york times. they're spiegel, they all published this material, in fact one awards for it. julian, in fact, was leaked the material and did what any publisher would do, which is to put it out. he's never been charged with publishing material. it is false. are incorrect. there's a pretty amazing track record. but yes, it's very myopic on the part of us media outlets, not to understand that if julian is extradited, which is unfortunately looking more and more likely. this will set a legal precedent that any journalist who has in their possession classified material or any publisher that publishes classified material can be held in criminal contempt. it changes the game completely and eviscerate any investigation into t

s. operating their u. s. president's loud your own strikes. it makes them appear in the words of the u . s. media as quote presidential. so in other words, when you as president are acting in a heavy handed manner against p, mainly people of color in foreign countries, they look good in the media. the u. s. attacks, countries that can't fight back small in the countries. let's take a swing around the globe to look at some other stories making headline, some harrowing video. at least one person has been killed and dozens injured. after a volcano erupted on the indonesian island of java on saturday, media report to say villages in the vicinity of the blast became covered in debris and thick smoke obscured the sun, leaving them in the darkness. several 100 people have reportedly been moved to shelters as well. thousands of protesters in paris demonstrated against code restrictions on saturday, riot gear, cloud, police tailed in march and mass with anti government sentiment rising. amid the introduction of health passes and mandatory masks in all

this is the start of a new u. s. campaign against russia malign behavior. the u. s. government claims the strategic culture foundation is controlled by russia's foreign intelligence agency, the s t v. and that is also linked to the russian foreign ministry. the foundation denies this, and course itself. a research platform on your asian global affairs. we've contacted the s c f to get a further response to the claims and we're also waiting to hear back from us treasury and we'll let you know when we get an answer from them. daniel is, meanwhile, says a dangerous precedent has been said. i think of the that the at the s c f, the foundation hosts honest journalism. even though out i don't, don't agree with much of it. this is, this is serious work by serious. ready journalists, and that is a supporter of a free speech and a free press. i believe that readers should have access to this kind of stuff. and, and yet the, the u. s. government is trying to close it down and therefore trying to stop information, which is usually at variance with official us policy, from re

with a shot it over, and then u. s. i saw that in your case should force them in the less, i mean, as soon as the weekly said me with, i'm close your hand this if a shot killer, he's, he get a yep, we're on the, we're starting with your the money out of my little to with commercial unit. okay. understand you got, i got you even there, you're pulling on her la. mainly just the only response of the union. did julian assange encourage chelsea manning to steal secret documents as the prosecution claims manning was pardoned by obama, and is now a free woman. but just before the start of the trial, she's again summoned to appear before the grand jury asked if his hunch helped her leak secrets, she tells the judge, i'd rather starve myself to death and change my position on this case. as a result, she goes to prison again and has to pay heavy fines. but she does not give in the fascination of insect a video of the killing of rogers, generally the killing of children. that is the real harm that should be discussed in court. and

s. a. u. s borders know they came to our going to love in italy you there was a natal guarantee in 1990. so what became of that, they fooled us. we've seen 5 waves of nato expansion and keep demanding some guarantees from us. you must give us the guarantee it is on as a hearing, and you must do it immediately. right now, instead of talking about here for decades, he also spoke about the other thing that russia has been charged with a suspected of manipulating. that is the guy gas market in, in europe. he says, well, what we're hearing from various outlets is basis and senseless. germany, for example, is buying gas at $57.00 times below market price. we're and then they're using that gas to perhaps celadon, to poland, which is paying an entirely different price because it insisted on trading with russia at market prices. now, the gases or the above $2000.00, while e, these ruinous ruined for both you citizens who have seen their household built for electricity go up for $500.00. the said, ruino

as we all hit in the u. s. and when you asked about where people comply, couple of other issues, of course, as we met christmas party the, the revelation that last year there was a lot of reveling going on on chris white before christmas. 10 downing street, they had a party while the whole of the country was locked down. so people's grandmothers, an elderly parents passing away when they didn't get to see that people weren't able to see their families at christmas. that's negative for the tory party. and then this just come out in the last couple of days, the guardian released photographs of boys, johnson and his wife and a garden party serving cheese and wine over the summer. and i think it was may off to the lock downs. so to answer your question directly, the british public doesn't like you poxy, but they're seeing the queen being sensible and this is necessary. what it looks like going to happen. they're not going to counsel christmas nor boxing day, which is a day after christmas, very important to the u.

the u. s. does not care about civilian deaths, they are merely collateral damage in its foreign policy. aims to achieve hedge ammonia in the middle east. and in fact, the entire world death toll so far has been not 95000, but closer 260-0000. basically, us drone strikes and foreign countries are flagrantly illegal. they, they are ex extra legal assassinations that take place in countries where the government does not approve of the u. s. operating their u. s. president's loud jerome strikes. it makes them appear in the words of the u. s. media as quote presidential. so in other words, when u. s. presidents are acting in a heavy handed manner against p, mainly people of color in foreign countries, they look good in the media. us attacks, countries that can't fight back small in the countries still ahead in the program. nothing to see here. the u. k. government saves transparency laws need not apply to a new, ultra high spending scientific research agency. leading people to question wants a tryin

he indeed has no obligation to the u. s. government, and yet they are seeking to apply the u. s. a spinach act against a journalist and publisher who is located outside of the united states for actions he took outside of the united states, which would normally be covered under the 1st amendment. so it's yeah, very disconcerting for, but i think, yeah, there's a number of unprecedented things going on here. you have that. it's a, a foreign journalist and you have the fact that they're targeting his, his publishing. so let's, let's talk about how independent reporters and news organizations should be really concerned about this. what should they be alarmed by most the extra territorial application of u. s. law. normally something people associated with imperialism, right? so for example, if a u. s. citizen, or anybody else killed somebody outside of your jurisdiction. normally you can't be tried rights for actions that have occurred externally thus in a separate legal jurisdiction. but yet, for some reason, with the espionage act, we're saying that he can be, i'm, and well imagine

but the u. s. held him in jail for almost 7 years before eventually returning him. and that was only after he took legal action against america. journalist rich of med, hearst, revealed the case papers and told us more you know, they've told the sounds that he can serve any potential sentence in his home country, australia. they said the exact same thing to mendoza, they told him just just let him come to the us and he can serve any sentence given back in spain. in mendoza's case, the united states signed a contract, an explicit contract with mendoza, and with spain saying that he must be returned to spain. he can not be given a life sentence, he kind of tried for concert structuring. they violated this, the u. s. kept him for 6 years and 9 months. the only reason mendoza was allowed to go back to spain is because he sued spain twice in the spanish supreme court. and he won. and spain threatened to cut off the extradition treaty with the us. that is when the u. s. felt pressure, they wanted to keep
