> EU's legal arm can't extent outside the boarders of the EU, without an outright military invasion

All the lawsuits from EU against tech companies outside the EU have been carried out without any military invasions required. You are delusional if you think USA is going to go “Google won’t pay the fines, invade us if you want the money”

Why don't you read my comment thoroughly before accusing people of being delusional? Google is registered in Europe(HQ in Ireland IIRC ) and does business in Europe as an European company, so there's a physical, legal and tax paying entity the EU can fine and even European management they can send to jail just in case they don't comply, same how they did with VW for the diesel scandal.

If you would have read my comment thoroughly (hard ask, I know), you would have seen I'm specifically asking about how would the EU fine foreign companies that have EU citizens' data but have no HQ or any legal entity in Europe that can be reached by EU law enforcement in case of GDPR violations.
