How about the U.S. free Julian Assange!

Is it at all possible that he was conducting espionage ?

[jeffreyokun]

For any American in the current circumstances is lunacy to still stay inside Russia. There is only one way that can go and this is it. They should have known better.

Better a Murdoch company employee than another company. Maybe Tucker Carlson can do an editorial on how Evan Gershkovich deserved it, since Tucker appears to be Russia's top propagandist.
