    The US Navy is responsible for protecting all maritime shipping regardless of whether it comes to or from the U.S. It’s why the Navy is so freakin big, and why pirates are more or less history. Once the U.S. decides to say fuck it, which will probably happen soon, the globalized world will suddenly be very different when maritime shipping becomes more dangerous.
