Nothing to do with anti-Americanism. I'm critical b/c I think 'defrauding consumers' in this case doesn't deserve a 15 billion 'slap on the wrist' (which will hinder innovation and affect jobs here - VW could have spent this money on the development of electric cars). When hearing such numbers, yes maybe I am 'America-critical'. But it's not only in this case. E.g. recently I cannot understand how someone can sucessfully sue for $10,000 upon being forced to upgrade to Windows 10? Or, more fundamentally, how 'a country' can e.g. put Chelsea Manning behind bars for 35 (!) years? (She is an American hero for me).
