My concern is that if the US prosecutes people for doing things that are legal in their countries where they did them then what’s to stop those countries from prosecuting Americans?

Can I be prosecuted in Canada for violating their gun control laws because my AR-15 isn’t legal in Canada?

Should I be fined because my truck won’t pass French emissions regulations?

Should I face penalty in China because I didn’t ask for their permission before I had seven children?

Where does it stop?

You raise the very valid point, and it is what I consider a deal breaker for this concept.

I am reminded of the US law that says you can’t go to Thailand and have sex with underage people.
