- Why China's Navy is a JOKE by Colonel Douglas Macgregor
- Key point: Colonel Douglas Macgregor is one of RobSmith's biggest heros. RobSmith wanted to see Douglas Macgregor be Conservapedia's conservative of the year in 2022. Et tu, Colonel Douglas Macgregor? Conservative (talk) 23:07, October 2, 2023 (EDT)
- Key point: RobSmith is a Christian. Unlike User:Conservative, RobSmith does not worship men or look to men for a messiah or salvation. RobSZelensky Must Go! 17:45, June 29, 2025 (EDT)

PLA
The PLA is not under command of the government of China, the State Council. The government of China has no military. The PLA and the PLA Navy belongs to a political party, the CCP. RobSGive Peace a Chance! 02:52, October 3, 2023 (EDT)

- 35,000 Warships! How the U.S. Navy could Win a War [ed note: "This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated." Question Why does User:Conservative keep spamming into Conservapedia crap that YouTube removes? Doesn't he know how to properly vet information & sources? And I can assure you without seeing the video, It was not Douglas Macgregor who advocated a 35,000 ship Navy, despite the defamatory smear implied on this talk page. -RS].
Colonel Douglas MacGregor said about China in the video Why China's Navy is a JOKE: "China has huge problems just holding itself together. So I think we should set China aside and understand that."Why China's Navy is a JOKE See: [[Essay:Skepticism about China remaining a global power|Skepticism about China remaining a global power]]So I think we should set China aside and understand that."[1] See: [[Essay:Skepticism about China remaining a global power|Skepticism about China remaining a global power]]
I doubt that a China that "has huge problems just holding itself together" will be able to afford such a thing - especially long term. Conservative (talk) 11:05, October 3, 2023 (EDT)
- Yah, well Doug Macgregor also said Trump's Irrelevant & No Longer in Control, so I think we stick your ability to judge the credibility of sources in the trash. RobSZelensky Must Go! 16:40, May 30, 2025 (EDT)
- The Reagan Administration never meet its goal of a 500 ship Navy the last time Congress authorized a big buildup (heck, they'd be lucky to get 35,000 recruits to staff the ships. Of course, illegal immigrants are always available). A 35,000 ship Navy is just fantasy crap for fools bydeceptive know-nothings.

What's wrong with the Financial Times as a source?
Andy, it is after all a newspaper of record by a major NATO power the United States is pledged to defend.
Is this censorship? RobSZelensky Must Go! 16:14, June 29, 2025 (EDT)
The timely opinion of an aligned and formerly very experienced and world naval power, now dependent on the United States about the present condition of US naval abilities, is of vital importance at this moment in time. RobSZelensky Must Go! 16:27, June 29, 2025 (EDT)
"pro-American without bias" is oxymoronic.
Andy, is this why you stood by User:Conservative's promotion of Biden regime foreign policy & Russiagate? RobSZelensky Must Go! 17:11, June 29, 2025 (EDT)

| According to Bloomberg, the Department of Justice is looking to set up prize court proceedings in the Southern District of Texas, located in Houston, which would be a natural destination for seized oil tankers due to its midstream infrastructure. U.S. Attorney for the Southern District Aaron Reitz confirmed that his office is involved in the effort. The U.S. administration wants to appropriate cargo from Iranian vessels under this Prize Law dating back to the 1800s.
Prize Law is 19th-century maritime legislation by which special-purpose tribunals can be set up to speedily determine the legality of the seizure and forfeiture of an enemy’s merchant vessel. The functioning is simple: drag a captured vessel into a domestic port, convene a specialized tribunal, and almost invariably, ownership of both ship and cargo shifts into state hands. There are some conditions, of course. The vessel must belong to a state that is a belligerent enemy in a conflict and must be doing one of six things: carrying militarily useful goods toward enemy territory (contraband goods); transporting enemy servicemembers; operating under enemy control or charter; using fake documents; violating regulations near naval activity; or attempting to run a blockade. Almost invariably, a captured vessel would be doing—or alleged to be doing—one of those things. This would seem to fit neatly into the Iranian theater. Iran is an enemy state in a conflict with the U.S., and its vessels would be trying to run a blockade, operating under an enemy charter, and violating regulations. So it would seem to make sense for the U.S. to treat their captured vessels—if any—under this piece of ancient legislation. Normally, the U.S. would use civil forfeiture law for the same purpose. The distinction between the two and their justification offer an interesting insight into the state of the U.S. empire... |
