international waters near New York City, everyone would be totally chill with that right?
I don't know why you think this is a gotcha...The USN would probably sniff around but that's it..They're international waters
- naasking 3y agoYes, but it's also Iran. What you're not getting is the "mortal enemy moving a war machine right at your gates" bit.
- r2_pilot 3y agoWhat you are failing to comprehend is that the United States has a policy of enforcing international naval freedom, and routinely transits international waters near many nations. The US has no issue with any vessel's location in international waters, regardless of what nation.
- immibis 3y agoWould the US have any issue if Iran had more and more powerful vessels than the US Navy, all encircling NYC in international waters?
- r2_pilot 3y agoNot a policy maker but probably still nope. International means international, and America is a part of the international community and these waters are vital for trade. It's not like you can conquer a nation of millions with a couple of ships 12 miles from the coast.
