I'd like to see the yanks threaten Spanish or other Nato ally ships, lol, that's an automatic article 5. Furthermore, TACO doesn't have the balls or the means to block Chinese chips.

My dream now is some dumbass yank soldier fucks up and starts a war between China and the US. It would be beautiful to see the superiority complex of the yanks faced with the realities of a more advanced twice as large country.
