No the US doesn't do that. We had to make special international treaties which involved getting other governments to sign up for that (in exchange for other concessions). Stop inventing things that never happened just to excuse your politicians bad behavior. PS Arresting foreigners for things that happened outside of your territory is an act of war.

That sounds like the same thing, with extra steps.

  The extra steps are the thing that convinces the other countries to go along with it.

You should ask AI go give you a long list of people who were arrested/captured/kidnapped/killed by the USA for the things they did outside of the US. Often, without doing anything illegal (locally, but sometimes even by US law). Guantanamo bay exists outside of the US territory for a reason, so that no legal rules would apply. CIA/USA has been keeping secret prisons and torturing people all around the world (incl. EU).

    Look, I am the first to say that the US dogpiling that happens online is sometimes not justified. In this case, though, this is not a hill you want to die on. Extrajudicial black site funny business is kind of the US's thing. It's good that the US makes treaties but if those treaties fail to materialize and the US wants something bad enough, it'll happen.

    I am not even from UK. It is you who conflated the arguments. My response was to the claim that US does not procecute people, who did outside of the US. I demonstrated that it is not the case. The actual alleged crime doea not matter. You are trying to move the goal post and you will not succeed. There are plenty of other cases, also including the freedom of speech. What do you think the procecution of the journalist Assange was all about? Claiming that the US is not running after people in other countries is the same level of ignorance as claiming that the US is not meddling in election and is not using the hybrid warfare.
