The US government seized nearly 1 million barrels of Iranian crude oil allegedly bound for China, according to newly unsealed court documents and a statement released by the Department of Justice on Friday.
It’s an entirely different scenario and even then it would depend on where the guns are coming from and where they’re going. There has so be some limit on what countries can do on the international stage.
Which the West tries and places like Iran want to circumvent it.
America sucks and has issues but some countries out there really need to get it together. Iran is easily one of them.
America did nothing wrong here this was legit and there was punishment for it, tried to hide transactions and go around sanctions, get caught lose your shit.
If China had a law against shipping oil to the US, and a Chinese ship was going to ship oil to the US, would it be wrong for China to prosecute the ship owners and seize the oil?
The US is not prosecuting the US owners of the ship.
If it was only technically a “Chinese ship” in that a Chinese equity firm temporarily owned the ship and they used that as an excuse to seize the cargo and prosecute the foreign operator, that would also be wrong.
Look it’s the guy who brings up sovereignty but ignores Iran’s own populace doesn’t want these leaders or the fact this (illegal) trade financially supports that oppression of the people.
Says he’s a commie yet supports the religious oppressors? No care for the will of the people
Yeah, we just stole a million barrels of oil and people in this thread are acting like we would have been wrong not to.
If a company sold guns to a cartel and then the government intercepted that shipment and confiscated it. You’d not care.
No difference here.

There kind of is. The problem is enforcing it.

The cognitive dissonance is dizzying.
