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 totally should have sent a fleet of air craft carriers to save her

@AthrillatheHunt Why? It wasn't an American vessel and there wasn't even an American on board. It's not like she was in any danger, unless she'd landed and Hamas had gotten ahold of her.

@LeopoldBloom I was joking

@LeopoldBloom

Why?

There is no why. We - and no one else - rule the seas. We can't play favorites. We are either the world policeman or a thug.

@sree251 Then we should have stopped the Madleen, which was attempting an unauthorized landing. None of the people on board had Israeli visas. If your orange lord and savior can deport illegal immigrants, so can Israel.

Unauthorized? Who is the authority? Illegitimate authority - including that of the US trying to established a rules-based order on the world - will be crushed. It is a matter of time before injustice is trampled. You can't strut forever.

@sree251 You don't get to enter a country without a visa, dummy. Each country controls its own borders. If Greta had kept her mouth shut, she probably could have made it into Israeli territorial waters before she was picked up.

Also, the US had nothing to do with this. Make up your so-called mind - first you're upset because the US didn't come to the aid of a UK-flagged vessel with no Americans on it, and now you're fapping over the end of the US-supported world order.
