6. no because they're not selling the ports
THe ports aren't being sold. And if you argue that, you're going to get dismissed as someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. What is happening, and is a matter of legitimate concern, is that the company that currently holds the contracts to manage the ports is being purchased by a UAE-owned company. There is good reason to carefully scrutinze whether continuation of the contracts under this new ownership is appropriate, but if I was on the other side and someone said why do I support selling the ports, I could easily answer them and, in so doing, undermine their credibility.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: we need to be smarter than the other side and we have to show that we know what we're talking about. Otherwise, we lose.
