As dovish as I am, like how I condemn sending weapons to warzones, I still agree with sanctions, divestments, pulling products from markets etc. No-one is mandated to trade with an organization or nation who is killing them.
Like, Mon Cala stopped selling ships to the Empire after Alderaan and I don’t blame them. There are many innocent farmers on empire-controlled planets who could’ve used those ships—even for life-saving purposes, but, it’s reasonable of Mon Cala to halt their sales. I’ll defend that decision.
They sent weapons and cruisers to the Alliance to Restore the Republic, weapons that ended up killing people, and I’m not as onboard with that decision, but I see it as a separate issue.
Arguing that Mon Cala would’ve been morally mandated to trade with the Empire is something I can’t get behind at all.
