This is the exact kind of political persecution faced by critics of Putin's regime. Challenge the status quo and we will fuck up your life. Maybe Glenn Greenwald was smart to flee to South America where he can throw darts at our regime with impunity.

In US they fuck up your rep.
In Russia, window knocks on door. Waits for you to open door.
There is no "maybe" about it.
