Think about what would happen if the verdict of this French court would be internationally accepted. Now all of a sudden Thailand could ask the U.S. for my extradition if I were to accidentally say that their king has a small penis.

It simply doesn't work like that.
Thailand could and will ask, under their law, however USA will not comply becuase is not a crime in USA, however if you endup in a country where lese majesty is a crime you might be extradite and arrested
