      You’re more hopeful than you’ve been given any reason to be to assume this will be over in 4 years.

      Your complacency is their enforcement mechanism.

      • It is an international perspective. That country is burned out, board up the door and windows leading up there. Nobody needs to go, trade, or talk to them, they’re done. It’s like they’re not there anymore. Life needs to go on without them, it’s over. Maybe in 4 years, in the unlikely event that there are still elections, they will gets their shit together, but for now, lock the door to the asylum and throw away the key into the drawer of garbage.

          The owners of the largest military in the world will make it everyone’s problem before it gets better.

              You misunderstand the point of an aircraft carrier. It’s not any more defensible than other large, floating objects - but first you have to reach it, and the aircraft it carries are capable of blowing up nearly anything to kingdom come before it gets anywhere close. Carriers aren’t for defense. They’re for projecting power.
