Is this any different than the US hurting companies that do business with Iran? Do you also consider the Iran sanctions a farce?

- SuperNinKenDo 8y agoYes. One could always complain about both, but yes there is a difference. The US doesn't try to punish companies that come from countries that merely acknowledge Iran as a sovereign nation. Nor does the US insist that anybody who claims Iran is not part of America be banned from doing business in America. I think there's certainly a difference.
- danaris 8y agoYes, absolutely. There's a huge difference between trying to isolate a country because it has political goals that you perceive as being detrimental to the whole world (however arguable that may be), and trying to isolate a country purely because it refuses to allow itself to be re-annexed by you.
- mc32 8y agoAfaict, Taiwan is not violating any non proliferation treaty, isn’t vowing to destroy neighbors, isn’t funding tertorism in its neighborhood. It’s been the opposite, a good international citizen producing great minds. So, to me that makes a difference.
