Of course, in that homeland, the whole world knows where they are.

I forget the exact word but during our wars with the Pirates in the early 19th century we called them something that allowed us to declare war on them, sign treaties, but not recognize them as a political entity. I forget exactly what it was called. Grr this is frustrating I forgot what the term is called. Anyone know?

Some land on the seafloor of the Pacific should suffice.

We have a nice island here in Hawaii, that the military uses for bombing.

Great, wreck paradise for target practice.

Been happenin' for decades.

Hey, we bomb the shit out of an island in Puerto Rico, or at least we did.

Gotta bomb something.
