No, Sweden has first dibs.

(If they want him still)

Then the UK for bail jumping.

Then he's off to Australia.

After that... who know?

1) US could extradite. Going back to Manning's Article 32 hearing... The US had made a claim that Assange assisted Manning during the theft. This never came up during the Court Martial, Manning plead guilty to those charges which actually shielded the evidence from coming up.

2) Australia could rescind Assange's passport. Meaning he can't legally leave the country. (Unless under arrest and extradited.

Or something else along those lines. Maybe the Russians invite him over for some tea?

I'm sure he's pissed Putin off.
