The law can be enforced against people who are, or have assets, within the jurisdiction, whether or not the alleged violation occurred there.

You can also have some very weird legal definition of a nexus, like this bank that allegedly opened a nexus in the US because they used US dollars for a transaction between two non-Us countries.

And there is also the case that the US army just land in your country and arrest anyone they could not kill.

Unlikely; its a lot easier to kill people than arrest them, especially if you are the US army, which is optimized for the former over the latter.
