International An Indian Ship Graveyard Rejects a Toxic American Ship

Posted by on Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 8:20 AM

Yet another day in the long and slow decline of the American Empire:

India has blocked entry to a former US naval ship heading for break-up at a scrap yard on its west coast, citing environmental and pollution concerns.
The ministry of environment and forests said it inspected Platinum-II and found the ship contained toxic material.
The US will have to find an even poorer country to do its dirtiest work.

No problem - I'm sure there are plenty of other countries that will be happy to take it. Because, you see, most of the world has even fewer scruples about these things than we do.

I think you're using the word "empire" incorrectly.

Fewer scruples or more desperation?

Yes, @8, at a certain point it's hard to tell the difference.

Can't someone come up with a swarm of nanobots designed to neutralize the toxic contaminants? Please?

Proud Americans, are we?
