Are you right to threaten me for not selling it to you? Tell me I can't drive through your neighborhood, or-perhaps not shop at your establishment? Buying and selling should be voluntary. Reciprocation is good, but not mandatory. I don't have to buy clothes from you if you buy milk from me. To threaten to keep me out of your store if I don't sell you my car is blackmail.

No.

A person has no right to keep somebody off the public streets in a neighborhood.

A sovereign country does have a right to keep our military ships out of their port.

And we, as a sovereign nation have a right to not sell any thing, or right, to another.The UAE says we can't change our minds. That we MUST sell to them or else.
They don't have a RIGHT to this deal. They just had an opportunity. Who the hell are they to say we can't change our minds if we think better of it?

Why is no nation owning a part of ours bad? Important infrustructure in the US should be US owned, period. I have a big problem with foreigners 'investing' here by buying up so much private property, but when it comes to ownership of important infrustructure I don't want ANY foreign ownership at all. Nope- not even by allies. If that is counter to international politics- too bad. It's my opinion.
