I'm as outraged as the time I found out the UAE deal would control 6 major ports. My outrage was trumped when it was revealed the actual number was 21.
I guess I'm consistently xenophobic, racist, and anti-globalist. And it certainly shows that I am ignorant of just how far and how deep this crap is.
"I'm as outraged as the time I found out the UAE deal would control 6 major ports. My outrage was trumped when it was revealed the actual number was 21. "
Rather than being 'outraged' over this 'deception', you might want to look into it first. Wouldn't it be a waste of 'outrage' to find out that the UAE deal to manage (not control) 6 major ports is, in fact, 6 major port locations at which they will operate 21 terminals? just a thought.
Do you know what a port really is? All anybody is talking about is a handful of "terminals".
BTW, if I could buy 6 major ports for $8 billion, you'd better believe I'd have the banks outside my door at home waiting to loan me the money.
The 6 major ports are probably worth nearly a trillion dollars, not 8 billion.
