What is so clearly wrong about trade sanctions between two countries? Do you think foreign trade is always a moral good?

What is so clearly wrong about trade sanctions between two countries? Do you think foreign trade is always a moral good?
- darkarmani 8y ago> What is so clearly wrong about trade sanctions between two countries? What trade sanctions have been applied to Canada?
- 794CD01 8y agoAre you being deliberately obtuse? Canada doesn't have anything to do with this. Amir's account was closed because of his Iranian ties, not his Canadian ones.
- jstanley 8y agoThe part that's clearly wrong is stopping innocent people from engaging in harmless trade. If it weren't for the sanction, it would probably be illegal for slack to deliberately block Iranians just because of the country they're from. And something doesn't have to be morally good for stopping it to be morally bad. For example, playing chess is morally completely neutral, but it would be morally bad to attempt to ban chess. Likewise, Iranians using slack isn't obviously morally good, it seems morally neutral, but enforcing a slack ban against Iranians is obviously morally bad.
