Funny that Freedom of Navigation means nothing to a poster who calls himself ‘Mariner.’
“Freedom of navigation” shouldn’t mean anything to Americans in this context. The U.S. is one of the few countries in the world that isn’t a signatory to the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea.

I have been aboard warships exercising “freedom of navigation” in hostile waters. I was on a warship that was fired upon. That’s in addition to all the “end of the world” billets I filled with TACAMO and DCA.
What, besides offering banal, childish commentary have YOU don’t for your country?
Eff the United States of Banana.
Evo Morales plane incident
Spain, France, and Italy denied Bolivian president Evo Morales permission to cross their airspace. Morales's plane landed in Austria.
On July 1, 2013, president Evo Morales of Bolivia, who had been attending a conference in Russia, suggested during an interview with RT (formerly Russia Today) that he would consider a request by Edward Snowden for asylum. The following day, Morales's plane, en route to La Paz, was rerouted to Austria and landed there, after France, Spain, and Italy denied access to their airspace. While the plane was parked in Vienna, the Spanish ambassador to Austria arrived with two embassy personnel and asked to search the plane but they were denied permission by Morales himself.
U.S. officials had raised suspicions that Snowden may have been on board. Morales blamed the U.S. for putting pressure on European countries and said that the grounding of his plane was a violation of international law.
In April 2015, Bolivia's ambassador to Russia, María Luisa Ramos Urzagaste, accused Julian Assange of inadvertently putting Morales's life at risk by intentionally providing to the U.S. false rumors that Snowden was on Morales's plane. Assange responded that "we weren't expecting this outcome. The result was caused by the United States' intervention. We can only regret what happened."

Exactly what I thought.

I noticed that, as well.
