Check out the movie Countdown to Looking Glass. It is essentially about how badly sideways things can go when the concept of "maintaining freedom of navigation" is carried to extremes. The fictional movie President elects to be the tough guy. I have no confidence that our wanna be tough guy President will make the correct decision.

What's the plan again Donny?
