Everyone. They get the benefits of trade. When piracy happens every nation will participate in ending it as is necessary to protect trade. Why would you think otherwise?
- Retric 4y agoHistory shows a subset of countries are all to happy to support piracy for various reasons. It’s essentially a prisoner’s dilemma where individual countries are better off defecting.
- ahkurtz 4y agoPrisoner's dilemma is solved and not a dilemma with repeat rounds (aka trust and relationships). Like the real world. This fits well with the fact that cooperation works, and is why civilization exists.
- Retric 4y agoYet piracy has been around for thousands of years. The thing is people and countries don’t all benefit equally from buying into the existing system. It’s the same basic reason people continue to run scams and steal stuff on land etc.
- literalAardvark 4y agoSo has trade. Piracy isn't a blockade.
- Retric 4y agoPiracy has been used as a form of blockade.
- robertlagrant 4y agoBecause it's not everyone. It's (mostly) the US.
