Babe, its time for your 4pm regime-change planning session. Get another OAS conference call together so we can talk about overthrowing the Venezuelan government again.
Yes, honey.
prove their military isn't a paper tiger like Russia's proved to be

Attack on Frenchman
Austinites declaring independence from Texas, then all the surrounding suburbs declaring independence from Austin, then the rural regions declaring independence from the suburban shitlibs, in a radial shockwave of new microstates that all insist on having closed borders.

International law prevents countries from intentionally making people stateless.

They prevented Scandinavian countries (forget which ones) from sending them to China, hence the shock of the breakthrough with their phones a couple months back
And the Ukraine-Russia war was a big win for NATO in so far as it tightened control over the Scandinavian states. But due to their physical proximity to Russia and their reliance on cheap raw material imports (which the Russians have in droves, but the Southern/Western Europeans don't), this is still a relatively precarious situation. Had the US simply maintained/developed their domestic chip markets, they wouldn't be freaking out every time a war threatens to erupt in the periphery.
I would say that the US firms is far more exposed to the threat of shortages and supply disruptions to critical tech infrastructure than their Chinese (and South Korean) peers.
