So how are they going to get Julian Assange out of England?

103. Which country would you predict he jump to?

Venezuela? Hugo is near death, and that country is wracked with unrest, violence and shortages. Bolivia? They may not love us, but they rely on us economically in a rather substantial way. Argentina? We're getting along with them MUCH better these days. Same with Chile. Lots of gov-to-gov cooperative efforts. Uraguay? Paraguay? Columbia? Peru? Suriname? Naaah. Too much gov-to-gov cooperation there as well. Brazil? I don't think they'd want him--they are doing very well and don't need his drama one whit, plus, da Silva and Obama seem to get along on a personal level. French Guiana is part of France, so fuggedabout them. That leaves Guyana...and there are a bunch of people there who want that place to become a commonwealth of the US, like PR..so I don't see that working, either.

He could take a straight flight out of SA entirely... to Cuba--but I doubt he'd like that much, either.

I think you are overestimating Assange's ability to find a welcome anywhere other than Ecuador at this point in time--unless he's going to North Korea, perhaps.

In any event, the first hurdle he has to overcome is getting out of Knightsbridge. That, in itself, is a monumental challenge.
