		JAlexoid on Jan 4, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: USA vs. Julian Assange Judgment CIA literally funded drug cartels. Obama literally authorized a drone strike on a "suspected terrorist US citizen" in Yemen. While the rape accusation was retracted. There's no equivalence of a proven fact vs accusation. Assange is unquestionably on a moral high ground here.

This is a straight-up lie. The accusations were never retracted. The women have maintained their allegations ever since.

and Not even going to respond to your whataboutism here, just lazy argumentation.
