Israeli officials had recently developed plans to attack Iranian nuclear sites in May.
Mr. Netanyahu initially pushed for an option that would have combined airstrikes with commando raids. The plan would have been a far more ambitious version of an operation Israel carried out last September, when Israeli forces flew by helicopter into Syria to destroy an underground bunker used to build missiles for Hezbollah.

In that operation, Israel used airstrikes to take out guard posts and air defense sites. Commandos then rappelled to the ground. The teams of fighters, armed with explosives and small arms, infiltrated the underground facility and set explosives to destroy key equipment for making the weaponry.
After shelving the commando idea, Israeli and American officials began discussing a plan for an extensive bombing campaign that would have started in early May and lasted more than a week.

Their supposed plan was to drop Commandos into Iran via helicopter to blow up Nuclear facilities.

I don't understand this angle of buying direct from these factories online because it would still be subject to tariffs and restrictions. There was another suggestion that might be more feasible. Take the medical tourism route but with shopping instead? Supposedly Chinese air fare and luxury hotels are cheap so people can fly to China to go on shopping sprees on those visa free visits. It can be a whole new business.

Piracy is legal according to the US (when the US does it):


With a massive numerical advantage in the Pacific, China's People's Liberation Army-Navy would present a potentially overwhelming challenge for American forces in the event of open war... but could a little-discussed concept from centuries ago help America overcome China's numerical advantage? Let's talk about issues Letters of Marque in the modern era... and why American pirates might not be as crazy as they seem. - Alex Rollings

TL,DR: Far-right jingoistic nutjob justifies US piracy.

Question: How would China counter this form of terrorism ?
There seems to be a misconceptions of what pirates are thanks to media. They werent some yo ho ho swashbucklers misfits who only care about getting drunk and going on adventures to find treasure. Not like pirates of the Caribbean or one piece.

In real life they were pretty much mercs hired by the British navy to attack their rivals. Just look at the most famous pirates. Blackbeard was ex Brit Navy. People like Henry Morgan and Francis Drake were literally granted knighthood and governor positions for fucking over guys like the Spanish.

The only thing that they can buy that can actually help the situation in the U.S. are copies of XJP Thought.

Spending on the AUKUS submarine program is growing so dramatically that it is approaching the size of a standalone branch of the Defence Force, draining funding for other military equipment, a group of the nation’s top defence experts has warned.
As Opposition Leader Peter Dutton prepares to announce the Coalition’s defence spending policy, the experts warn the Australian military is becoming dangerously dependent on the United States and should start hedging its bets to prepare for a more self-interested and less reliable ally under President Donald Trump.

Lol. Lmao, even.

If only Labor got the spine to get out of this terrible, horrible, no good and very bad deal.
