Does it bother anyone that huge, leftist entities like the EU are beginning to exert extra-territorial jurisdiction? The EU is quite selective on who gets sanctioned. Why not Venezuelan officials? Or Chinese? Or Muslim? What’s next — sanctioning those who oppose Global warming junk science?
As for that last one, they’ve been trying to do that for quite some time. They are strict AGW doctrinarians, so long as it does not apply to them personally.
The EU is extra-territorial by definition. Too many people brushed it off when Jose Manuel Barroso (EU Commission president) called the EU an “empire”; well, now it’s an in-your-face empire, and an old empire in new guise at that.
Not very many on FR, after all, our guys will have those Suave French officers to command 'em.
“EU are beginning to exert extra-territorial jurisdiction”
Russians have been exerting extra-territorial jurisdiction for a hundred years with murderous results.
