So if Russia passes sanctions against France they can legally seize their freighters too.
Neat!
No.
"Barrel of a gun" (but you kay mot know what that means). But also you didn't lay out what France has done in this hypothetical, but no.
In fact your thinking is absolutely Trumpian, where rules are just there to be manipulated. If not Putin-like, where everything comes down to respect and mafiosa stlye thinking.
Sounds like you have no idea about politics or geopolitics. At least learn the basics:

I know that video but under the name "The Rules for Rulers".
It's obviously not a video for anarchists.
Ideology is a false god.
Oh I quite agree with that. In the end only power matters, and that is what we're seeing in regards to Russia. The USA set a trap and Russia walked right into it. But just because a majority of people agree with something like sanctions, doesn't make it right or "legal". Only power does that, together with the propaganda to ensure everyone thinks the same.
I mean imagine we treated the US like we do Russia lol. Inconceivable because of money of course.
