“The current buildup of tremendous force at Standing Rock should be understood as a military invasion of a sovereign nation on behalf of a foreign oil company.”
This is 100% accurate. Native lands are NOT UNITED STATES TERRITORY. They were NEVER ceded to our government and our government SIGNED TREATIES acknowledging this! But now a foreign oil company says their lands are in the way and so on behalf of this foreign interest our government has sent military forces to invade the land so they can sell it off to be destroyed for profit
I mean, consider for a moment what would have happened if we tried to do this in *spins wheel* France. It’s unthinkable, right? We wouldn’t have even got this far. We would’ve asked France, “hey, can we build a pipeline on your land?” and when they said “No”, we would have been forced to accept that as an answer and that would have been the end of the issue. Because we respect their sovereignty.
