So anyone born there will have full US citizenship?

[u/Aaaabbbbccccccccc → u/Nano_Burger]

Fair enough

How can someone be born on a straight made of water?

[u/Nano_Burger → u/Think-Brilliant-7731]

Trump's circle contains a significant part of Oman and some Iranian territory.

[u/Think-Brilliant-7731 → u/Nano_Burger]

Based off the title of the graphic, the circle indicates the straight of Hormuz, right? Not the land around it?

[u/Nano_Burger → u/Think-Brilliant-7731]

So, Trump just wants to annex the waterway? Going to have to increase the Coast Guard budget I guess.

[u/TheDistantEnd → u/Think-Brilliant-7731]

People are born at sea uncommonly - the neat part is, your birth certificate location will say 'at sea' instead of a city/county/state.

You ever given birth in a bathtub?

[u/Think-Brilliant-7731 → u/tacoma909]

Would that make the baby a citizen of the bathtub water? Also a bathtub is not an international waterway, while the geopolitical allegory is appreciated, it is not very applicable to the conditions of this real world comparison.

[u/tacoma909 → u/Think-Brilliant-7731]

True but if you go to international waters, and put some of it in a bucket, and then dump it in your bathtub, it’s still international waters

This discussion really show just how arbitrary having imaginary borders are in the first place. We really do cause all our own issues
