The circled word isn't "pirate", it's "hijack". Though, it would also work, since I don't see the us being called corsairs either.
they board it ☝️😃
The US didn't hijack those ships, it boarded them
hijack:
to take control of an aircraft or other vehicle during a journey, especially using violence.
what definition are you going by?
omfg make your point or don't, like am i supposed to guess at what specific connotations you're talking about and how they relate to the villanous US navy and then make my reply to that??
