Problem is Assange’s interests and Moscow’s interests aligned very very closely in Wikileaks’ heyday, so he’s won zero friends. He’d be better off trying to flee to Russia, which of course is a very dark definition of “better” and almost certainly impossible.

I wouldn’t say they aligned, more like if you start unburying bodies, what you’ll find the most of are bodies buried by the West. Snowden is no communist and probably hates Russia right now, but you end up not having much alternatives.
