You mean "had" to? Effectively he did and he got it.

He's out now. Biden's goal achieved. I'm not accusing Assange - he's a man that needed saving his life. He probably realized that the so called freedom-loving democratic western public didn't care a fuck about what he was fighting for. So his giving middle finger to the west as a whole I do not condemn at all. In fact, he should have done it much earlier. The sheeple are not worth the effort.

russian_bot, I am sure you will agree with me that Assange is one of the noblest of human beings who exposed the war crimes of empire and their torture chambers, at great risk to himself. We have to honour him with our hearts and minds.

His 'crime ' was ripping away the mask and leaving the so called civilised west naked and its barbarism revealed in all its gory. Maybe you are right that the "...so called freedom-loving democratic western public didn't care a fuck about what he was fighting for...". But more important is what Assange's selfless action revealed to the people of the Global South.

May Assange's courage never be forgotten. Inspire more human beings to emulate him.

I will leave you to unravel why I used 'has' instead of 'had'.
