The U.S. is now a Pirate Republic

Seriously. Now they're saying the U.S. has the RIGHT to take Greenland if it's strong enough, on "law of the jungle" grounds.

 

[Bray123]

The Fraudster in Chief is telling his poorly educated followers that Greenland is a strategic requirement. Clearly this is not about defense, as there is already a US base there and is used as a training area for US military.

So where is it exactly? Sounds like a daft question, except that normal maps are very distorted at the polar regions.

Greenland is located between Canada and Norway. No threat from that direction.

If Russia or China were to threaten Alaskan oilfields, Greenland is in the wrong direction. Soldier, you're lost.



No, it's all about colonizing weaker countries to steal their mineral wealth. Note that if the US wants the minerals, they could just buy them. But Trump is a mobster at heart; he doesn't pay his contractors, his workers, his suppliers. He offers cents on the dollar and waits to be sued knowing that people will accept the offer rather than starve during the many years a court case can be dragged out.

This is about demonstrating his strong-arm mentality, bullying the rest of the world into submission. He confuses fear with respect, he is the same as the drug dealer hoodlum on the street corner or the school teacher beating the children because he doesn't have the ability to inspire them.

Not even that. It's all about Trump's ego. He wants to be the first POTUS since 1898 to expand the American territory.

It's no coincidence that so much action is now happening in the CARRIBEAN! Avast, matey! Heave to and prepare to receive boarders!

Please point out ant pertinent FACTS that say these seizures are illegal.

You can't, because they aren't.

PS: Opinions aren't FACTS.

Legally, it is simply that the U.S. has no AUTHORITY to say Venezuela may not ship oil to Russia or Iran or Cuba or wherever. They were not breaking any rules WE get to make.

Can you imagine how rich I could be if I had one? I don't even need a boat, all I'd need to do is stop trucks with containers on them leaving the Port of LA and hijack the contents. Perfectly legal if I had a LoM.

I could hire some LA rooftop Koreans as sub contractors for the heavy work.

I PROMISE that I'll pay the IRS any owed taxes and duties!!!

Gov. Nuisance has already done that. You're behind the curve. You need a new state to run those scams.

 

[Bray123]

The US has no more right to make a rule that Venezuela cannot ship oil to Iran than the Marshall Islands can pass one to prohibit taxis from being yellow in New York.

The only thing in force, is force. Might is Right, Do as I say, not as I do.

Trump says that he is above all laws, the only thing that restrains him is his own personal sense of morality. And we know what that is. Even Epstein described him as having 'not a decent cell in his body'. But he's not wrong. Multiple convictions and judgements have zero effect. He lives just as he has pretended his rivals have lived.

He threatens to attack Iran if they kill protestors, while his uniformed Brown Shirts kill protestors in the US. And the morons continue to support him and his lawlessness.

Many years ago Russia decided to destroy the US from within because military action was impractical. Putin will have succeeded in that ambition within the next five years.

<-- is thinking Greenland might make a good "State" for this. Lots of empty land to store the containers on while the goodies inside are listed on Ebay.

Anyone know how much the Danies want for the place? I got 2 raw carrots and a pony I'll trade 'em for it.

Congress actually has the constitutional authority to issue those.

Funny thing, though -- they never even tried that in the Communist period, when millions of Americans believed that was EXACTLY what they were doing.

Yo ho, yo ho! American pirates are we!

All of those seizures were made on the authority of federal warrants signed by a judge. You should make a head call before reading any further:

An AMERICAN judge who had no authority to do it, because the UNITED STATES has not that authority.

BS. They were seized pursuant to federal court warrants issued based on sanction laws passed by Congress, Executive Orders, and federal regulations.
