Nice.

No that's simply not true

The far left can't agree because most of it is not found in functional rationality. At least the right is too stupid to think and thus can actually achieve things 🙈

I'm not a lawyer but afaik the sanctioned ships are treated kinda like "legal piracy" as country can board it even in international waters if it knows it's performing a sanctioned operation like transferring goods to a place it's not allowed to or the ship is stateless or sneaky (no transponder etc).

At the end of the day these legalities are purely made up to satisfy treaties rather than ethics or rationality so it's silly to try to look for rational meaning here.

Lol only on lemmy.megalosers you can find Hezbolah defenders. Go away troll.

That's not how these types sanctions work though. It's much more broad than "you can't pass our waters" and it's perfectly legal to board sanctioned ships in international waters.

AFAIK this is legal though I care much more about ethics than legalities as citizen of neither of these countries.

I feel like people are taking the bait here in siding with Iran and Hezbolah just to spite Trump. Both things can be bad and it's kinda important to be woke to these games rather than blindly oppose everything.

People keep underestimating Trump and his stooges. Sure they are stupid but they do have a plan and they do scheme.

The ship was already sanctioned in 2022 tho

Yes, they should but Ukraine's drones are already on it.

I hate trump as anyone else here but reading into this it looks like an absolutely legal and normal procedure?

The ship in question named Skipper was already sanctioned since 2022 for transporting Iranian oil to fund Hezbolah. So minus conflict escalation with Venezuela this seems like a good thing? Hezbolah is an incredibly evil terrorist organization and cutting off it's funding is good.
