I feel like the United States is always meddling in other countries affairs and yet still climbing further into debt. Kind of like someone giving you advice on a golf course who is terrible themself. Is it the military presence? Economic relationships?
In: Economics
If you annoy the US, and that includes not trading with them, they park an aircraft carrier just outside your largest port.
While that sounds like they have a mobile airport hanging around, that doesn’t portray the entire picture.
Imagine an aircraft carrier as a small city, with an airport, that just happens to have a few dozen nukes that it can fire off whenever it’s politically useful. And a few medium sized nuclear reactors that, if anything unfortunate were to happen, would sink, leak, and make the seas around them inhospitable.
Also, the US has some rules in place that would treat any attack on that small city, just outside of your main port, as an attack on US soil that would necessitate reprisals.
