It's Turkey.
I hate when the excerpt cuts off the punchline.

"Over in Russia, they're drawing up plans to build the world's biggest aircraft carrier, a 100,000-ton beast that can carry 100 combat aircraft. China's building one, two, or maybe even four aircraft carriers." ______________________________________________________________

The world is arming up. It's almost like there's some sort of perceived power vacuum and everyone is trying to either fill in the gap or take advantage of the gap.
Odd, isn't it?

High altitude loitering drones will render aircraft carriers useless.

I guessed Bolivia or Switzerland. At least Turkey has water to defend.

Building a carrier is one thing. Staffing and maintaining a carrier group for effective combat operations is quite another.
Only the U.S. and Great Britain have the decades of naval experience necessary to carry out the latter.
Not that we should be complacent but wanted to point that out.

I was kinda hoping it was Andorra.

Nope. I don't read click-bait.

Thailand has a tiny carrier that they cannot afford to sail except for the King on vacation...

So?
Let em support the ship in pure F.O.B. terms.
Then man the thing with competent men.
Then competent airmen.
Keep the machines running.
Aircraft flying.
Dodge bullets and missiles
Then support them with blue water capabilities
Don’t forget whatever their version of AWACS would be.
Now, get the logistics for resupply fine tuned...
Who cares what they build...
