This post doesn’t really say anything interesting about retributive justice at all. It sounds like what’s actually bugging you is the question of national “sovereignty”. Plus, you Godwined yourself. Between these things, you give a pretty bad impression. Perhaps if you reposted it with a less flamebaity example and a title like “Is there any ethical reason to respect national sovereignty?” or something you might fare better.

Well, you are correct that the post isn’t actually about retributive justice.....… but it’s not about sovereignty either ;)
