Iran military could misidentify commercial airliners amid tension, US diplomats warn...
United States diplomats have warned commercial airliners flying over the Persian Gulf risk being targeted by "miscalculation or misidentification" from the Iranian military amid heightened tensions between the Islamic Republic and the US, even as both Washington and Tehran say they do not seek war….
Despite the warning, US officials have yet to publicly explain the threats they perceive coming from Iran, some two weeks after the White House ordered an aircraft carrier and B-52s bombers into the region…
...The message comes 30 years after the USS Vincennes mistook an Iran Air commercial jetliner for an Iranian F-14, shooting it down and killing all 290 people onboard.

I think if we just went total isolationist for about 20 years or so there would be some prime real estate open for grabs after.
I vote for a nice Disney-themed memorial park where England once was.

Us Yoopers allied with the Canadian Maple syrup Cartel a few years ago I think. It was a sweet deal.
