    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.

      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.

        There kind of is. The problem is enforcing it.

        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.
