I was entirely expecting this to happen so they could wage another forever war. I'm thankful they haven't done it yet, but given they have a habit of lying and starting invasions, I'm a bit surprised it hasn't happened.

I hope I'm not getting to conspiracy-brained here.

I think we wouldn't actually need to. If we wanted to just go in they would just go in pre-emptiveivltly. Who would stop them? Who would listen to the complaints?

They don't because we couldn't win that war. We might even lose enough material for it to count as a loss. However we for sure couldn't accomplish meaningful strategic goals though force of arms
