Officials in New Delhi say that an Iranian warship that was sunk by a U.S. submarine near Sri Lanka had participated in naval exercises hosted by India before heading out into international waters in the Indian Ocean on its way home.
Home port which still doesn’t justify sinking an unarmed ship
To be armed…
To do what
Then it might be fair game of this war was legitimate but it isn’t. It was only done the moment it sailed because Americans are war criminals and the bad guys.
Exactly. It was a cynical a crude action but it was legal, I just looked after the rules. It’s a fucking warship, doesn’t matter if the Iranians claim it was unarmed (or if it actually was).
Also, submarines are not required to provide rescuse, as surfacing would cause a risk to them. They are obliged to notify others that the rescue is needed.
The US is doing many horrible and clearly illegal things. We can also argue about the ethics of this torpedo attack, but it was not illegal and not a war crime.
Ship, with human lives on it
Unarmed. Vulnerable.

I understand this isn’t necessarily hinged on just the legality but it is fair game under the laws of warfare even if the war is an illegal one.
What would you rate the somersault though?

America being bad doesn’t make your logic good.
