Summary

Australia has approved the extradition of former U.S. Marine Daniel Duggan to the United States over allegations he illegally trained Chinese military pilots in 2010 and 2012.

Duggan, who renounced his U.S. citizenship and has been in an Australian prison since 2022, faces up to 60 years in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors allege he received $61,000 for the training.

Duggan denies the charges, and his family has criticized the Australian government for failing to protect him, expressing disappointment and weighing further options.

You didn’t read story. The alleged crimes happened while he was still a US citizen.

He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
