You owe me $250 million for using the word “moo.” I sanctioned you 5 hours ago, without your knowledge or approval. You have to do what I want, because I have a bigger stick. I can make up whatever law or sanction I want, and you have to follow it or I’ll destroy your town. Pretzel logic. Call it confirmation bias or sucking your own dick, but that’s what is going on.
I wasn't aware that you were a sovereign state or that I had any money deposited in your banks or that I do business of any sort with you.
You can sanction me by putting a permanent embargo on conversing with me by blocking me if you want
It was an analogy. I don’t want to block you. I want to have an intelligent discussion about the merits of this act. But people just want to defend America despite its despotic acts. It makes me sad.
The analogy is closer to you getting banned by a lemmy instance for breaking their rules when replying to comments from another instance. Just because you're abroad doesn't mean you're ungoverned.
There is no governance between states.
International law (also known as public international law and the law of nations) is the set of guidelines, norms, and standards usually forming the default behavior between states. Inter means between thus outside of territories thus absent of sovereignty, thus isn't a law at all (See: Westphalian System) and is rather a common-practice between states - unless they wish otherwise due to their own reasoning.

This isn't an action between states. A US based company bought oil from Iran (hence why it's Iranian oil, they're referencing origin, not ownership) to sell to China. That us based company was found to be in violation of US sanctions against Iran. They capitulated because they still wish to do business in the US.
