I think people have amnesia. How are they going to do this to Venezuela when it didn't work on Yemen with its anti-ship missiles? Will they dare to bring this within range?

USS Ford, cost:
$12.8 billion + $4.7 billion R&D
(prob +5bn for the 5 destroyers & planes, etc)

Venezuela, GDP:
$108.511 billion

At least the ratio isn't as bad as with Yemen.

Well, I knew Ford cars were getting ridiculous, but I had no idea it was that bad.
