I know this is probably highly illegal, but I just think it would be funny if the Activision buyout went on even if a country blocked the buyout from happening. What would be the repercussions?

They would be fined into oblivion, probably.

No country really matters unless it's the US where both of those business' reside. Other countries can have rules and bans all they want but it wouldn't change the deal. Unless the deal makers decided to change it themselves.

The only problem wouod be the inailibty to sell your product where it's been banned. And if that place is china you just lost a SHIT TON of profit.

Massive fines at best, outright sales blocking at the worst.

The countries that are blocking it are not serious about it. Its a tactic to get a better deal from Microsoft outside of gaming.

Sanctions. Hasn’t the war with Ukraine taught you anything? People can’t just do what they want. Same goes for corporations and even governments or dictators.
