>>Arms Export Control Act is a US law

Notice the first word - "Arms"

>> I don't like it one bit when I see US law reach into what should be sovereign countries.

The US govt also does not like it when people attempt to use US arms to kill US people, military or civilian.

So, yes, your nationality or location are irrelevant. If you are actively exporting US military goods or information without a license, you should expect that the US will do whatever it can, including asking favors of other nations, to find and imprison you.

In Other Words - do not f'n do that - or get a proper license and do it right (or make sure your smuggling is sufficiently profitable and you are sufficiently clever that you can live the rest of your live always positioned out of their reach - good luck).

It is not that hard to avoid shipping US Arms information & goods without a license.
