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.
This is exhausting. The sanctions are illegal and condemned internationally. Any law approved and applied after that fact is immaterial. Get it. It doesn’t matter if the boat is American. It doesn’t matter if it was US dollars and an American company. The overarching sanctions are illegal, so any adjudication after is illegal. Capiche?

Those are the same three flawed ideas you’ve stated over and over again.
You are disconnected from reality if you’re trying to pass that off as truth.
Please tell me one nation that has it all figured out whose rules we can use for the world. No one has. We have many different versions and the US is just one. You’re complaining about the laws the US writes for itself and its citizens. Is it perfect?

We have an organization for this, the United Nations. They condemn the sanctions. Follow the UN. A rule: The Golden Rule. Don’t do anything to another country that you wouldn’t want done to you.

Then maybe we should change it. Or do you want to conserve the status quo and not progress into the future?

I’ve seen no sources say that. Back up your statement with a real source that says that.
