20. Puerto Rico was taken during war
If Puerto Ricans suddenly poses a threat to the lives of Americans we built a wall splitting part of the island, we would be within our rights as the governing authority for the land.

Oh, the ICJ can ISSUE whatever opinions it wants. It just has no right to expect them to be carried out and no authority to make it so.
