COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT

 

“Meng Wanzhou: Detained Huawei executive accused of sanction-breaking dealings with Iran, Canadian court told

“The US is seeking the executive’s extradition”

 

Sanction-breaking dealings with Iran?

Not exactly my idea of a crime.

Nor, I suspect, anyone else’s, at least of those living outside the hermetically-sealed environment of Washington, which is the only jurisdiction where this gobbledygook should be enforceable.

The only real crime in all this is the United States ripping up a perfectly good international agreement, one supported by the rest of the world, and using the mafia-like tactics of sanctions to make other countries follow its arbitrary laws.
