    To paraphrase the Joker, this isn’t about justice, it’s about sending a message.

    If Julian was Chinese or Russian, acting in the same way on behalf of his country, the US would be doing nothing right now.
    But because he’s a citizen of an ally (vassal), he’s going to be hounded forever, anywhere, until the US shows just how tough they are on “traitors”.

    America: We fight in your wars. We spy on your citizens for you. We bought your bloody submarines. Can we have our problematic fuckwit back now?
