Because I'm fine with the US seizing goods from a US ship if they're violating US trade sanctions -- just like I'm fine with China seizing goods from a Chinese ship if they're violating Chinese trade sanctions. If the company didn't want to have their cargo seized, they shouldn't have used a US/Chinese ship to act against US/Chinese sanctions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm not good with it in either situation, sanctions are ecocide. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago Well you're consistent, which I appreciate and respect. permalink fedilink source parent
