Is that why they are now trying to block his extradition to the US, then.

The article? The US has asked for him to be extradited. If Sweden also asks for it, that blocks the US if the UK decides to give him to Sweden.

What about a case when NSA was wiretapping phone calls of member of German governments, including Angela Merkel [1]? US got away with this without any consequences and Germany said nothing.

They didn't get away with it.

They paid, in money, but they paid.

Hell, they even filmed an entire season of Homeland in Berlin soon after...

Were you already born when Edward Snowden made his revelations?

Or how about the Evo Morales grounding incident? [0]

Edward Snowden is tweeting about "freeedom of information" from Putin's Russia...

Evo Morales incident is a complete different story.

Snowden was (is?) an american citizen, Assange is not.

Anyway, it is laughable to tjhink that European countries are in the pocket of USA, they are allied, alliance means be on the same side, sometimes even when it is wrong.

It doesn't mean that everything they order, other countries will do.

It's laughable to think that.
