Continental powers:

guess we'll develop missile technology that can target a giant ass ship carrying planes from 100 km away.

AFAIK the boat dudes are countering that with lasers.

At least according to this entirely credible source.

Continental Powers:

then we'll build a global nuclear suicide option, that isn't a missile ... just the biggest, most enormous nuclear bomb that would be equivalent to having a world ending asteroid hit the planet and kill all our enemies, our friends and every living thing on the planet. It would be like being stuck in the same room with everyone and threatening everyone with the suicide bomb strapped around your chest that would blow up the entire house.
