What is this argument? Iran only started blocking after they were attacked by the US. They didn't wake up one day and decided to block the strait. If something happened due to your unprovoked action, it's your fault.
- Ajedi32 5mo ago> If something happened due to your unprovoked action, it's your fault. So if I punch somebody in the face and they respond by pulling out a gun and shooting an innocent bystander, I can be punished for murder? That's not even remotely how moral responsibility works. People (and nations) are responsible for their own actions, not the actions of others.
- maleldil 5mo agoIt's not a punch in the face. The US executed decapitation strikes meant to kill the country's leadership and bombed civilians. Your analogy doesn't apply.
- Ajedi32 5mo agoThat wasn't an analogy, it was a counterexample to your assertion that "If something happened due to your unprovoked action, it's your fault." That's simply not true when the "something" that happened is another person's doing.
