I'll give you some absurd and ridiculous details.

When the WL backend for collateral murder was hosted at bahnhof in Sweden, moving it to .CH was among other reasons done because of certainly the US, and specifically & allegedly homeland security having launched a DDOS attack so strong it could have kicked Sweden offline.

When US agents started their smearing campaign against Assange in Sweden, they accidentally added smear to wikipedia that did not happen yet.

In Brussels, WL volunteers where threatened by US agents with silenced pistols in a parking lot.

Various so called "influencers", mostly academics and activistic people where payed to spread the false US narrative regarding everything related to Assange.

Again - going from there to drone strikes (against an embassy in an allied country with a sophisticated air defense system) is absurd.
Indeed it is. Let me quote Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State, /again/. "Can't we just drone this guy". Context: Being confronted with Assange his existence by her staff.
Which was (possibly objectionable) humor, but light-years from any sort of actual intent.

I live in Belgium, but never heard about this, when did this happen, do you have any references?

Citation?

I can't quote it but i can tell you my two independant sources namely Birgitta Jonsdottir ( former Icelandic MP, and one of the people who noticed it ) and Amelia Andersdotter ( former Swedish member of the european parliament, and my ex partner ). Both are highly accessible so you can get your first hand confirmation yourself.
I am trying to understand "...they accidentally added smear to wikipedia that did not happen yet."

The way I understand it they added something to wikipedia before it happened? How did they know it would happen?

On wikipedia articles you can view the history of pages, it would be interesting to locate the exact edit...
