He was not a citizen and AFAIK, was not in US territory when the leaks were collected or published. Now, I could see if they pressured countries where he holds citizenship or was physically present to enforce their own laws, but I do not agree that the US should seek to prosecute him. I don't classify him as a journalist, since he doesn't seem to publish secrets from other countries such as #Russia or #China. It seems to be mostly #USA. So it _is_ plausible to consider #Wikileaks as a non-governmental foreign intelligence service, in which case, I think every government reserves the right to strike back. So, as you can see, I'm conflicted, with my primary view being that the USA should not be pursuing Assange, but rather the leakers who served as his sources. (As a federal employee, I'm not allowed to read anything that leaked, but from what I've seen others write, Manning was very careless about leaking, with some documents identifying undercover agents who had nothing to do with the crimes that were revealed. So this wasn't really whistleblowing, as the leaked materials covered a lot more than waste, fraud, abuse, and crime. The restrictions also make it difficult to form any kind of intelligent opinion.)

If you want to bring down a country, you don't first engage in economic relationships with it or make yourself dependent on it in crucial areas of #infrastructure and #energy. Assuming Putin to be a rational player – a murderous one, but still – he must have clearly seen that delivery of raw materials to the West was increasing, not decreasing Russia's security. Not even a NATO membership of Ukraine and Georgia could endanger Russia given the scale of Western dependency. Thus, the Greater Russia chimera with the corresponding conspiracy idea of the West wanting to "extinguish" Russia is the fantasy of a drama queen that cannot accept that Russia is a banal and mediocre state with little else to offer than raw materials and conflict. Putin needed to concoct interrelationships of historical, existential, and religous dimensions because he seemingly couldn't accept that after 20 years in power (various positions), his only achievement had been the creation of a mafia-state for his self-enrichment. But the country itself had become a failure, and so, irrespective of his riches, he himself. (Since 2007 I would argue.) And so he started it. A genocidal war on a sovereign neighbouring state, to ease his feelings of inferiority as man and head of state.
