Well, now you agree Iraq invasion was a mass murder?
Once USA extort money going from country A to country B for failing to comply, it's no longer a diplomatic issue, that's an international crime. And it was from the day one - USA threatening financial institutions in other countries, giving orders to them directly, that's audaceous.

- NonEUCitizen 13y agoI heard it tries to go one step beyond that. If Deutsche Bank has operations in the US, it falls under FATCA. BUT it is also required to not do business with some small German bank that has no operation in the US that does not comply with FATCA; i.e. DB is used to coerce the small German bank with no US operation to report its American customers in Germany to the US.
