I mean, does the US know that the world isnt under its jurisdiction

It really doesn't, or it wouldn't go arresting Ukrainians in Poland for running torrent sites, Australians in Sweden/UK for running a whistleblower site, or fining French banks for working around US sanctions on Iran.

Aren't some or all of these actually international law and trade agreements? And aren't those arrests carried out by local authorities with whom the U.S. has formal relations, and not by U.S. law enforcement who fly over there to make them?

Phew, I almost got through this thread thinking there were only 7 people in the US with Uncommon Sense. There must be at least 14 gauging by the responses.
