Today there are too many eyes on them to just blatantly attack... though... it is the USA. I guess I wouldn't put it past them to be blatant and then make some idiotic public statement and total lie justifying it in about the most implausible way one could conjure up. I'd say that alone would work in a story but by this point it would be too exhausting to write another expose that nobody would bother learning anything from | |

Either way, I don't think the USA would sink ships to claim and island. They would just suffocate everyone with sanctions and tariffs and massively inconvenience everyone with their unrelenting and wildly unnecessary / unwanted military presence until profitability, no matter who owns the land, was in favor of the so called greatest country on earth. | |
