        There’s three things you don’t mess with.

        US and oil.

        US and their boats.

        And the US and an excuse to pump more money into the military industrial complex that masquerades as our Economy.

        You should also avoid bears in general.

        Biden has already released a statement announcing he’s caving to them. I’d say they’re ‘finding out’ that they can do what they like and the Dems will fold without a fight, but they already knew that.
