    Did he have many options with the USA and its allies determined to make him pay for exposing criminal state acts on an industrial scale?

    He spent more time trapped in an airport than Tom Hanks!

    Since then he has been trying to find the least worst way of living his life whilst looking over his shoulder.

    I'd say it was a no brainer. If you look at what Assange has been through and the way the USA have relentlessly pursued his extradition, I'd have probably done the same thing.

    Well I can't imagine that his internet access and movements aren't totally under surveillance at all times by Putin's regime.
    He spent more time in airports than even Easyjet customers.
