I’m unclear which but is the new change
Oink
Hey Canada. Do something. Canada, are you ded ?? 🤣🤣🤣
China attempts to maintain their territorial claims in the South China Sea after the Philippines and Vietnam conduct island-building operations there in the early-00s: CHINA BAD!!!
America expanding their territorial claims in the Pacific because they want more natural resources: Yeah, this is fine and reasonable and democratic.
Canada, who gets no say in the matter because we’re entirely reliant on the US for trade and defence: fuck, eh?
One of these claims is compatible with UNCLOS, the other absolutely is not. The US pulls plenty of international dickery, including not ratifying UNCLOS, but this claim fits within that existing international law just fine
Except it’s not really compatible with UNCLOS.
The US interpretation of UNCLOS would allow them to claim like half the Pacific
What do you think isn’t in line with it? This isn’t an exclusive economic zone claim.
