Maybe because it’s easier. There are probably quite a few steps before the US government can just take your shit. Don’t think the Americans are very huge fans of nationalisation and the government just taking from the rich.
and fucking around with national security, or showing you can and would, is a good way to cut through a lot of it.
And yet, empirically, they bought, not seized it, which was the distinct point of the question. Even with all he did, pressuring him to sell was the thing they did.
Takes a long time though. This was quicker.
I know something even quicker. About 3165 feet per second.
I don’t think it should be seized and he kicked in the dick because he fucked with national security.
I want those things to happen because I hate him.
Fuck that guy.
They prefer nationalization
Pity
