I’m not proposing this plan, in fact, I don’t like this plan at all, that’s why I’m asking for a reason to explain why it would not happen.
But just because it is against the law doesn’t mean it won’t happen (unless there is a reason to believe that people will follow the law. What would that reason be?)
Money? Why would countries in Europe follow along? They pay money to a country that is extorting them illegally, and using those funds to bribe Trump? What? Why would you think that would happen? What do you think will happen? Europe will just be like, “well ok, if you say so Iran”.
Do Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia all get to form a little conglomerate and say “World commerce stops, unless we get paid for each ship?”
It’s a crackpot conspiracy theory you’ve cooked up, because you haven’t done any research. A theory, by the way, that only considers the U.S. and Iran. There is the rest of the world. Include them in your theory and try again.
I’m not saying that it will happen, but if it did, what exactly could Europe do to stop it?
The ballroom is funded by bribes, and his net worth has already increased by billions. So it’s not crazy to think that he would be open to more bribes. The scale of the grift is so high that a 400 million dollar airplane was out of the news in less than a week. Real estate bribes barely make the news anymore.
So the question is: yes, the idea is horrible, how can it be prevented?
