I agree with your first point but perusing charges against people who make crimes against a country without having been there is quite common.

- LatteLazy 5y agoIs it common? There has been a very long time exception for murder, rape and piracy (with boats not file sharing). Recently terrorism has been added to that. But as far as I'm aware the US is the only major country that tries to enforce its laws on people not there. Who else has been trying this? Edit Wikipedia lists some https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterritorial_jurisdiction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterritorial_jurisdiction Looks like some places have added planes from/to/through their airspace, sex crimes against minors and space craft to the list of extraterritorial coverage. No one else is doing espionage, computer crimes, fraud, etc like the USA...
