Not sure "getting" a carrier group would be seen as a plus. Usually means you fucked around (or we think you did), and we would like to remind you that finding out is an option.

Could also mean your neighbor fucked around in a way that is a problem for you.

Small countries still need supermarkets to buy weapons from to fight each other. It's an inevitability that sides get chosen because selling weapons to both sides looks particularly bad.

You underestimate the depth of that spread. You've seen the knife, the jar is at home.
