Bet it was a ploy to get ships past the straight and in position. No one present at the US table has passed a high school statistics class with an understanding of the prisoner's dilemma. "Might is right" is failed logic that always results in attenuated outcomes that are worse for the offender than the rest that understand the statistics. Narcissism is blinding to such abstract realities. Gooberish hubris.
