Ah, the American approach: unlimited collateral damage to bully other countries into economic surrender.

The DGSE has carried out extra territorial murder before..

I hate to break it to you, but you're not a temporarily embarrassed tech giant, so there is no need to think up retaliation plans for them.
Germany has the right idea. All countries should ensure data and operational sovereignty of critical tech companies.

followed by mysterious explosions killing whole boards of directors of said US tech giants no doubt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Rainbow_Warrior
