​Doesn't it bother you that the most powerful man in the world is an idiot?​

​Only if warfare ​itself is obsolete and that would indeed be a very good
thing, but in every

​armed conflict the US has been involved in since the First World War ​
aircraft carriers
​ have played a key role, and I can find little indication that's ​going to
change anytime soon. You could perhaps argue that the US shouldn't project
its force, but if you want to project force
aircraft carriers
​ are the way to do it. Not surprising really given the fact that ​71% of
the Earth's surface is water.
