So was the invasion of Ukraine, the usage of chemical weapons in Syria, and the enhanced interrogation techniques at Abu Ghraib.
Outlawed by international treaty doesn’t mean all that much.
- adastra22 3y agoNone of your examples are commercial.
- mandmandam 3y agoTell that to the private companies selling the arms and scooping the resources. Think Halliburton In Space.
- RCitronsBroker 3y agoUnfortunately, they are. It’s hard to overestimate how scary govt contractors, especially PMIs can get.
- yawpitch 3y agoYes they, absolutely, were… but even if that was a coherent counterpoint — your argument seems to now be that the international mechanisms for policing crimes against commercial interests are inherently stronger, more robust, and effective than the international mechanisms for policing crimes against humanity — international treaties also ban copyright infringement, overfishing, and pollution. Clearly, none of those are happening.
