Yes, and more likely to hate the country that sent in the 2 carriers... and more likely to hate the nearby country even more for having these outsiders interfere where they don't belong.

Seriously, if they are intimidated enough not to act... then 1 carrier is all that is needed. If they're not intimidated enough, than 2 carriers won't change anything except to raise tensions.
