That doesn't address things at all, as the top comment and subsequent ones immediately point out. The entire foundational point of a polity is precisely that it defines the law within its own jurisdiction. No country, not even the USA, is powerful enough to actually act as a world government right now, which means that it is completely legally fine and in some cases morally correct to blow off laws of other polities so long as one remains careful to remain out of their power. The EU can demand others do anything they like in the same way any random person on the street could but whether that actually means anything is purely a matter of power.
With respect (and to downvoters as well) I did not take dominotw’s reply as uncivil, and they has my upvote even if I disagree and wish they’d expanded with their own thoughts rather then merely linked a previous thread. It was not an adhom or personal attack of any kind, and expressing serious irritation over a very serious issue should not itself requiring flagging if it’s a real response.
