Unexpectedly encountering ace combat politics at 6am when you haven't fully waken up yet is, i suspect, in the same zip code as what a stroke feels like.
Ace Combat by its setting should be an intensely political game but the games cant really seems to articulate a political point beyond "Planes are Cool but war is Bad"
Ace Combat Zero went a bit deeper into it, the game is basically: "WW2, but it ends the cold war instead of starting it, and Nazi Germany has nukes and nukes itself to prevent a land invasion. Also the USA borders Europe and the USSR is an ocean away in this universe ". It was an interesting thought experiment from a story perspective.
