- e_i_pi_2 4y agoI was looking for the perfect analogy and this is it - would India and other countries be justified for sanctioning the US government for something private companies did? Sanctions are something governments do to each other and this is an issue between private citizens. It just gets messy because it's international, but AFAIK we can't do anything from the US aside from investigating to get suspects then requesting extradition.
- ryandrake 4y agoThe Indian government is pretty clearly complicit. At a large enough scale, there is no difference between permitting something and encouraging that thing. And other countries are free to impose economic sanctions on the USA for the shitty things it allows/encourages US companies to do. If there is a market incentive for companies to do something bad, and the government can, but does not act to correct/neutralize that incentive, then the government should be blamed. India is a democracy, so that blame also falls on the electorate. As a US voter I grudgingly accept my ~4e-9 proportion of the blame for the shitty things the US allows.
- notahacker 4y agoJust because people come from the country that gave the world Enron, Bernie Madoff and FTX and celebrates the exploits of Frank Abagnale and Jordan Belfort doesn't necessarily mean they can't feel that foreigners are somehow much more complicit in crimes committed by their fellow countrymen...
