"Assange is a Australian citizen. Their silence makes Australia a cuck nation?"
The High Court this week had one job: to decide whether Julian Assange should be granted a full appeal hearing or whether he should be immediately extradited to the US to face trial. Given two clear options they decided to do neither. Instead, with Assange approaching five years in Belmarsh high security prison, they decided to wait for even longer before making a final decision.
This latest delay is because the Court has asked the US government to supply ‘assurances’ that if Assange is put on trial in the US, he will be treated as if he were a US citizen, not a foreigner; that he will be guaranteed First Amendment freedom of speech protections; and that he will not face the death penalty. If the US fails to provide such assurances, then the judges will reconvene and grant a full appeal hearing. If its assurances satisfy the Court, then the extradition will proceed. All this will be argued through at yet another hearing on 20 May.

No. Australia is demanding his immediate release. See "Australia's parliament has passed a motion calling on the US and
UK to release Julian Assange, ahead of a crucial legal hearing." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-68302206

This is one of Trump's failings as well. He should have pardoned both Assange and Snowden.
