I seem to remember Belgium extraditing someone for plotting to attack US soldiers on Belgian base.

When the US barks, Europe rolls over.

Belgium was recently fined for this by the EU. So I'm not sure Europe is the one that rolled over.

Yeah but if you're Assange, some kind of punishment like a silly little fine later on really doesn't matter if you end up kidnapped.

Belgium routinely gets convicted and fined for its incredibly poor treatment of prisoners. In fact, it's been convicted TWENTY TWO times for locking up mentally ill prisoners in regular (overcrowded) prisons without treatment.
