The US' claim to universal jurisdiction, these transitive properties, and the effective (if not actual (?)) strict liability approach they take, combined with the huge grey areas left around stuff like "Can I collaborate with people I don't know 100% on patches for open-source? Can even talk to random people online?", along with current trends (not least, being intimately involved in the execution of genocide) make me think the only sensible and moral position for everyone in the rest of the world to be to "sanction" the USA and bar all interaction (inc trade) with the USA.
