This is going to fuck up the oceans. If US violates international agreements to do this, China is going to follow on a much bigger scale and destroy seabeds everywhere. Look at what they’ve done with fishing. If we think environmental damage is bad, we ain’t see nothing yet.

Not that I necessarily disagree that China would do it on a huge scale but what makes you think the US under Trump and his billionaire buddy psychopaths wouldn’t do it on a catastrophic scale already?

I’ve seen a video about this dating back many years. It’s the worst. It fucks up the sea bed which is an ecosphere all by itself, and the oceans as well. As if we haven’t done enough damage yet. And it has an extra twist of exploitation and lawlessness because international waters. Fuck capitalism, the guy who owns the company, and Donny each time in addition.
