Since when does an alleged thief and traitor get all of this attention from our government? I, and the entire friggin world, do not believe that being accused of these things allows the US government to threaten other countries nor force down the plane of a head of state.

Absolutely nothing alleged should have elicited the response the government has given.

He's also applying our Bill of Rights to the entire world. Which smacks of irony and immense hubris.
