It was all about a business deal between P&O and DPW, of which 6 operations are US based. Our troops were never threatened. There has been speculation along the lines of "what if divestiture offends Dubai and they blah blah".
Of course they're not threatened. Thousands upon thousands of them passing through the UAE itself. But let a cargo ship come over here? Horrors!
It was never about security in any form as you have aptly revealed. Not for you, not for Chucky and not for the RINOs. Are you with the Unions?
