Basically, best case Europe can't be bother to have well written laws and punish the companies arbitrairly. Worst case, this is an attack on US business by foreign governments.

This is a blatant dismissal of actual issues because its easier to blame the big bad foreign governments than it is to look at the shitty (and illegal) behaviour of Irish tax authorities and American companies devising shitty tax deals because they believe they are above the law.
These tax arrangements were not legal, they never were. The rules need to be enforced and they will be.
This is not a punishment, it's a correction.
Crying about 'shakedowns' is pointless dishonest. Address the actual issues.
