“We need to go in there with a stealth bomber and just blow those islet away, then they can argue with each other over some open water.”
Bad idea.
There is no guarantee that those bombers are mission capable. And even if they were, it’s not wise to anger the country that makes the stuff your military needs.
The new reality is America is weak, and getting weaker by the day.
America is not weak, just our current leaders...couple administrations from now, and we’ll be back on top.
