I want to know what exactly did he say.
Like for example, saying "if you keep going like this, somebody might *insert action here* you", to me dangles dangerously in the threat zone but it is not a direct threat and I would be more inclined to allow free speech.
For example: "If Russia keeps their policies like that, a lot of people might decide to withdraw from the Olympics"
Will Russians come snatch me for threatening damage their economy with the prospect of worthless Olympics?
