@NopeOuttaHere@adamkjohnston Difference is, Japan was Imperialist. And conquered because they had the means to do it. We didn't have the means to defend ourselves at that time.
@NopeOuttaHere@adamkjohnston We aren't a foreign land. That is what I am saying. We have been American since 75. You just want to deny an established American territory.
@NopeOuttaHere@adamkjohnston If anything that's what adds value. Hell they already have S. Korea, Japan, the Philippines and even our sister island of Guam. Nothing wrong with providing strategic value. We did before for the atomic bombs set for Imperial Japan. We can do it again if China becomes more
@NopeOuttaHere@adamkjohnston Yeah they can, I don't see an issue with locking down birthing tourism. I've seen it, and it has its issues. What the Supreme Court isn't gonna do is just let go of a territory. Because you hate it.
@NopeOuttaHere@adamkjohnston And again if we were left on our own. The locals would no longer be US citizens and we wouldn't have this discussion in the first place
@NopeOuttaHere@adamkjohnston The vote has bearing, because like I said. The FSM and the Philippines were given the same choice. They voted for sovereignty. Our vote had bearing because otherwise, Saipan wouldn't be having this birth tourism issue in the first place. If our vote didnt mean anything.
@NopeOuttaHere@adamkjohnston Then Congress at the time voted on our vote, and said sure. Why not? We have their sister island Guam under our us. Congress 100% had the power to say no to us, but they didn't. They recognized that we actually wanted to be American? Sure why not.
@NopeOuttaHere@adamkjohnston I'm saying there was a vote. I'm saying that after World War 2 the US gave the option for us to either keep our sovereignty, like the FSM or the Philippines post WW2. Or to be a territory under them, making us American citizens. We voted, 78% majority.
@NopeOuttaHere@adamkjohnston I show you it happened, you still deny it. I could point to the sky, tell you it's blue. And you'd still deny it. Also stop referring Saipan as a country. It isn't,since the 70's it's been a part of the US.
@NopeOuttaHere@adamkjohnston Dude, Saipan and the rest of the Northern Mariana Islands voted to be apart of the US. I was born and raised there. Where did you get the idea we got invaded?
