I just heard on FOX that the UN prohibits merchant ships from protecting themselves.

A quote...

If it's a good idea, go ahead and do it. It's much easier to apologize than it is to get permission.

Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper

“I just heard on FOX that the UN prohibits merchant ships from protecting themselves.”

It’s an insurance thing.

Is the UN going to float a Navy to enforce their dogcrap dictates?

Every ship should arm up. imho

Well, you know what the UN can do with that!

That cancer has to go. It's just another socialist/communist ploy to control good nations like the U.S., Britain, Austrailia, some Western European and most Eastern European countries, etc.

Get the U.S. out of the U.N. and the U.N. out of the U.S. We are tired of their stench.
