Not surprising. Why build another aircraft carrier when you can just build an airstrip out of a reef?
And it seems the other neighboring countries have already taken notice, and are getting nervous.

Force isn't an attractive answer, though. I would not be true to myself or to the people I served with in 1970 if I did not make that realization clear."
