Trump and R Senators are on track to authorize letters of marque to allow private US citizens to attack and seize property from cartels, terrorists, and any authorized enemies of the United States. What weapons will the privateers be using and what are the implications? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/12/19/us-privateers-pirates-trump-letters-of-marque-bill/https://www.lee.senate.gov/2025/12/patriots-of-the-caribbean-lee-bill-authorizes-american-privateers-to-seize-cartel-assets-with-president-s-approval/6ed7fad5-5b91-47c0-aa8a-4b64ece3d16dhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=eIya0OekTQU
Also, The USA never signed the Paris Declaration Respecting Maritime Law. Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the US Constitution authorizes Congress to grant letters of Marque and Reprisal.https://smallwarsjournal.com/2025/07/30/the-new-model-of-privateering/https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2020/april/us-privateering-legalhttps://financialpost.com/pmn/business-pmn/the-u-s-brings-state-sponsored-piracy-into-the-21st-centuryhttps://www.coffeeordie.com/article/american-privateers-chinahttps://www.strategycentral.io/post/a-return-to-privateering-a-strategic-concept-for-unconventional-warfarehttps://irregularwarfare.org/articles/irregular-warfare-at-sea-using-privateers-to-seize-chinese-commerce/https://havokjournal.com/politics/international/to-counter-china-america-needs-its-own-ghost-fleet-of-modern-day-privateers/https://www.texaspolicy.com/to-bolster-an-aging-u-s-naval-fleet-its-time-to-bring-back-privateers/https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/mercenaries-sea-could-us-navy-use-privateers-against-china-186635https://amp.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3079303/us-military-researchers-call-use-privateers-against-chinahttps://warontherocks.com/2021/02/unfurl-the-banner-privateers-and-commerce-raiding-of-chinas-merchant-fleet-in-developing-markets/https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2020/april/unleash-privateershttps://centerformaritimestrategy.org/publications/reviving-letters-of-marque/https://centerformaritimestrategy.org/publications/the-case-against-letters-of-marque-combat-at-sea-belongs-to-the-sea-services/https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1238
This is the most incredible news I have ever heard. We are soooooo fucking back.
Can't wait for the inevitable clusterfuck
>>524275290You say that like it’s a bad thing? There is no international trade without the USA allowing it by not actively sabotaging the sea lanes. All nations must be on board for the global supply chain to function. Any disruption no matter how small is catastrophic. One bad actor can ruin it for everyone. ANY disruption to maritime trade only serves to benefit the United States and further its strategic objectives>the Atlantic is our pond
Yaaaaar?
What are the privateers supposed to do with the illegal goods they seize ?
>>524275293Probably turn them in for a bounty.

>>524275287bounty on pedos
>>524275945Not piracy, privateering. There is a distinction. One has a letter of marque, one doesn’t. IMO this is just the start of a much bigger movement that I can see going landside in the near future >not a good time to be someone who overstayed a visa in the United States

>>524275287>to allow private US citizensOh, no.It will allow US CORPORATIONS, false persons of US origin, to do so.Your only job will be to pay for it and not ask questions because it is a private company, not a government operation.
>>524276095>bounty on pedosThe pedos will own the private navy.
