I agree, but to ignore getting to much into it and preserve immersion (or just blocking out the possibility of Ferngill being a 1-1 Murikkka stand-in), I just assume it’s like the Falklands War or one of the many 17th/18th Century wars between sea-faring colonial powers fought over some tiny island. The fact that there doesn’t seem to be any hint of a refugee crisis (as an Iraq/Vietnam War situation would imply) helps.
Which can be a nice bit of commentary about how even remote, “minor” wars between two nations over a tiny chunk of rock which make at most a footnote in the history books still have human consequences.
