Sure, countries have spent resources to protect their citizens when possible.
But that's significantly different from saying that laws of your country, somehow, should affect people in the other countries without these countries signing any agreements with you.
Even embassies or military bases impose foreign rules on their own soil, not around the whole country where they reside.
> If anything the US approach of applying their laws abroad in all kinds of cases that do not even remotely relate to protecting their citizens is an issue, not the EU one.What's the difference? In both cases one country claim it's laws are extraterritorial and trump the laws of the other countries without there being an additional agreements to provide that extraterritoriality.
The only difference I see if that US is willing to use force to support that interpretation and EU only tries to impose it when it have the opportunity to do so on their own territory, but the idea is the same.
