u. s. does have a card to play it. right. no one wants to be dragged into a wool. but the u. s. wants to make sure that the philippines is a strategic friend, a strategic assa, when it comes to military bases. so there's a way for both china and for the us to co exist within the philippines itself. and that's simply by doing what they're doing, keeping the status quote, is that something that the government is taking seriously b u. s. government? i think it's absolutely correct when you look at the fee is made by the secretary to parker and defense in last week when they were in washington for the $2.00 plus to meeting with us counterparts. they both stress time and time again that they was relations, economic relations with china, and a closer military lines with the americans. and they see that as key to the philippines independent farm, which is not the same as neutrality. but it means the philippines gets to make its own decision. it is not beholden to u. s. or teacher gave me and their american counterparts and time again, we get it. we, we agree we support that. the real

u. s. does it appear that the u. k. has sort of relinquished its sovereignty of jurisdiction due to decades old extradition treaties with the u. s, and that julian is a victim of that, among other things. well from the beginning for those of us who have followed the case closely. this has been judicial farce. there are all sorts of legal anomalies that should have invalidated this case. a long time ago we can begin with a fact that julian has not committed a crime. he didn't do anything different from what the new york times the guardian dare spiegel. and l p. s. did when they published the iraq war logs. remember, that's what he's being charged with under the espionage at 17 counts. so it's 170 years if he's convicted on all counts on another 5 years for hacking into a government computer, although he didn't hack into a government computer. chelsea manning who leaked the documents did not need to hack into the computer or chelsea manning had done all of the passwords security clearance to get into the computer to, to pa
