> You cannot not comply with it though.

Why is that? One of the big reasons people and companies comply with the law is that they don't want to suffer the consequences of non-compliance.

If a company has no assets, customers or business relationships in Europe, what is a GDPR judgement against them going to do?

> customers or business relationships in Europe,

Customers don't have to be in Europe, it applies to european citizens living in your country.

Good luck enforcing EU laws in the United States - I'm sure our government would be thrilled to extradite US Citizens (who have never been to the EU) for GDPR violations.

It can legally apply but good luck enforcing it.
