Damn, guess we should go back to our own borders
So you don't believe in free trade? Without navy ships the global trade market is destroyed and the world quickly falls in a World War.
Evel Knievel couldn’t have made that leap..
The US Navy is the global security provider of free trade on the sea. It is one of their core functions. To 'just go back to our own borders' would be to completely remove the only naval force cable of providing security for free trade on the sea and thus remove huge portions of safe, navigable waters for said trade.
Who else has the navy to make it happen? China's navy has no range, France and England's navies have the range but aren't large enough. Everyone else's navy is too small and can't deploy at range.
Not for anyone who has a basic understanding of geopolitics. Do you want rogue nations hoarding resources? Do you want Superpowers to act as the British Empire did and enslave entire nations and exploit them at the point of a gun? The massive zerg rush to resources would instantly cause a world war. Right now you have a system where the world trades for goods and everyone profits that is a part of that trade. Take that away and you have trouble.
Rogue Nations pillaging oil and land... you're talking about the USA?
I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but it is possible to want part of the game to work differently without also wanting the complete collapse of the game proper.
I want a lot of things, but that doesn't mean it is never moderately possible.
The boats can’t go on land sadly
Dry docking.
Good thing we can operate on several fronts.
