[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can seize foreigns vessels based on sanctions we establish?

Would those crowing that this seizure today is perfectly lawful also defend China’s right or Russia’s right or another country’s right to seize American vessels based on sanctions they establish?[/quote]

Exactly.
Will there be a free-for-all on ships? Seize whatever you feel like seizing? Blow up any boat you think might be carrying drugs or illicit cargo or just ugly people you don't like? 
No laws restrict the Trump administration, which controls the strongest military on the planet. [/quote]

The logical extension is this: we better hope for, pray for, and somehow manifest a future where our status as the lone superpower persists indefinitely.

The history of what happens when empires lose their “king of the hill” status is not a pleasant one. Seems others always seem to be waiting to take turns returning the favor of past abuses.[/quote]

We are rapidly losing that status, which is why the neocons are going after everyone they can before they can’t anymore.

They don’t plan to stick around and face the consequences of course…[/quote]
