    No, I didn’t mean the implicit soft power stuff, I mean the explicit overreaches such as when Kim Dotcom (who might be a dumbass, but still) got arrested for crimes he allegedly committed in the US while not being a US citizen, hosting his site in New Zealand and living in New Zealand, where the offenses he’s committed are not criminally punishable.
