I couldn’t agree more.
Unfortunately, the international lawyers don’t agree, to the point that ‘interdicted’ pirated ships are allowed to send pirates back & forth to shore for supplies.
It all started when American looters & fleeing felons could no longer be shot on sight.
Next came Britain’s courts calling it ‘cruel’ and ‘innhumane’ to cut off water & power to hostage takers in buildings.
Next step was for American police to send pizzas to barricaded robbers.
This is the penultimate step.
The final blow will be when our police and military are not allowed to shoot at invading barbarian hordes, but can only serve cease & decease writs to pillagers.
