Greta Thunberg deported by Israel in the Mediterranean.

Where is the US Navy? Why are we not protecting freedom of the seas? We have 14 ships including 2 carrier strike groups in the Mid-East. Do we expect China to believe that we are protecting freedom of the seas in the Taiwan Straits?

We rule the seas, that's why. We have spent trillions of dollars to build a blue water navy to protect international waters so that people like Greta can sail safely to wherever she wants.

I am. Backwardness is the mother of all wars.

@sree251 then you must be the grandmother. No one has 'ruled the seas" since the age of the armadas.

The British Navy ruled the seas of an empire covering three quarters of the planet. The US Navy took over the mantle until now at great expense of the American public.

@sree251 i think Russia, China and others might argue. But not worth arguing with you.

Arguing about what?

@sree251 your statement that the US rules the seas.

@samueltyler2

your statement that the US rules the seas.

It is an American belief that the US rules the seas. This is why no one complains about the massive national debt accumulated thru the years of spending on the military. 11 carrier strike groups guarding the oceans. It has been all show because we never faced a real threat.
