If he does this, we know he is someone we can trust. This is the very least we should be doing. Meanwhile Gov. Abbot hasn’t militarized the border of that overrated, cuckolded state of Texas.

This is the Chinese way of conquering a land. If anything should happen where the United States put a stopped or confiscate their bought land they will immediately declare war on us because they’ll Consider it their property. This would mimic something like if Russia was to invade Alaska and say that Alaska is their property.

So the people saying he has no foreign policy experience were lying. See also his work with Israel and the international port problems.

...Also the people saying that are using the SAME tactic that liberals used on Gov Sarah Palin re: her Russia comment. Remember that the next time you see it.

Yet somehow I do not believe they would be sympathetic to our reclaiming our stolen land in Cuba or Venezuela.

Why are we selling anything to them to begin with? Huge mistake. But good for DeSantis.

It’s pretty much a given that all land in a State belongs to that sovereign State. The land may be deeded to individuals, corporations, or perhaps the federal government, but ultimately, it is the State’s land. So the Chines can go pound sand.

FedGov will sue to prevent Florida from defending itself against being divvyed up between and among Chinese state-run corporations.

FedGov would be the last to defend states' rights. Wasn't always that way.

Many countries limit foreign ownership of land...this seems obvious as they do not want their citizens becoming renters of their own land.

Kind of odd, it’s like so many people say “(My country) first!”

Where have we heard that before?

Here’s an article about the subject, this one from Thailand:

https://thairesidential.com/is-thailand-alone-how-many-countries-in-the-world-prohibit-foreign-ownership-of-land/

We cannot be so wed to the idea of free markets that there are no rules at all. Someone has to set the rules for a nation whether it is a congress, parliament, king, etc.

I used to be a hard-core libertarian, then realized there is a reason there has never existed a libertarian country in history. The possibility of foreign ownership and domination of a such a country is one of the big reasons.

What has Trump said about foreign ownership of US farmland (or any other property)? I haven’t seen any statement from him, have you?

40 years ago, we worried about Japan buying everything. They bought it all at PEAK, sold to them by some smart US Real Estate sharks.
They lost their asses in the downturn and dumped lots of it back at the bottom.

Bigger issue is the ChiComs controlling basic industries, universities and politicians.

this thread of yours is about desantis...

you’re twisting a knot in your thong over something that doesn’t have anything to do with the original subject of the thread you posted...
