From the other articles I've read, it really just seems to be the EU saying to the US "either shit or get off the pot." There's this deluded dream that Apple will bring that money back to the States to get taxed when the rates are favorable, but the EU is tired of waiting for that to happen, so they're making a move on the money and America is using words like "supranational."
I have little sympathy for anyone in this situation, but it'll be fun to see how it plays out. And if there's going to be a ripple effect it will probably be pretty interesting regardless of the outcome.
