    Like what would happen if a US Citizen were to send a threat to the leader of China? Or russia?

    US law about threats make no distinction in regards to the target so if the threat is credible enough or made often enough you’ll receive a visit from the FBI.

    The modifier here is that it’s pretty hard for your average person living in the United States to make a credible threat against a world leader in a far away country.
