Default US to Send SECOND Aircraft Carrier Group to Israel

https://www.businessinsider.com/anot...l-2023-10?op=1

Number of carrier groups defending the US border: 0

It's important to know what's really important, and what isn't.

It is quite clear that the pedophile administration doesn't not place any priority with the American people. Welcome to taxation with no representation.

You only need one, two doubles the target for our enemy.
200 sorties in under two days will destroy any country's military bases, power plants and gov buildings, with the exception of china, and maybe russia.

Then again, we have eleven active, its not like they are doing anything important elsewhere.

BTW, IMO, if anyone ever sinks one of our carriers, it is the end of the world.

Hamas has fighters and bombers? Or destroyers and subs? Huh?

Show of force, Israel's Air Force is more than capable of handling all air support needed.

I think the reason given by us was to police the merchant shipping.

I would be very surprised if any of our jets play a role.

The Roosevelt and Carl Vinson are off of California and the George Washington is off the coast of Virgina. The Abraham Lincoln is in San Diego

Here's where all of the carriers are

They're just going to be targets for any number of regional players to attack and escalate things. Do you trust Team Brandon to not give stand down order to allow an attack to happen? I mean, at this point, I don't trust Team Brandon not to do that.

"Captain, you are ordered to NOT fire at that suspicious speedboat heading rapidly towards your ship."

Maybe every ship will have their radar arrays down for maintenance at the same time? Who knows what is being cooked up.

Here's where all of the carriers are

http://www.gonavy.jp/CVLocation.html
And yet, that's not where the attack on America is coming from. There needs to be a carrier group anchored in the Gulf of Mexico, with an intense operational tempo of sorties defending our border 24/7. Even better would be patrolling the Rio Grande with AC-130 'Spookies.' When smugglers and their cargoes are seen entering the river from the Mexican side, strafe the American side of the river. No sane person is going to continue on after that. Do that a few times, and I guarantee you'll see things turn around. After that is done, overflights from the carrier's planes will simply be a show of force deterrent.

nice rant, but you said there are no carrier groups protecting the US coasts which I was correcting.

Rant on.

I have never seen any value for this, other than to our enemies.

Our military might is one of the only reasons our fiat currency is still considered a "world reserve" currency. Once we lose that status, and make no mistake, thanks to BRICS, and other things, we ARE losing it, the Brandonflation we're experiencing is the beginning of the end, most probably. Destroying the military by force injecting them, and ostracizing straight, White people, their main recruiting demographic is on purpose and is weakening the military. The sooner it's neutered from the inside, the quicker we can get on with that WEF global reset. Nationalism here and abroad is the only thing preventing that. With the exception of a few Eastern European countries, and Russia, we're almost there. China isn't going to go down like that, but they're happy to encourage the West to immolate while they sit back and laugh.

Venezuela, here we come! All those Venezuelans that are pouring across are going to feel stupid, as the place they fled TO becomes as shitty as the place they fled. And those Venezuelans that are coming? They aren't even the kind of people you want coming. The educated Venezuelans not politically aligned with Chavez and Maduro.....they fled long ago. What's coming now is the poor, the uneducated, the criminal class.

The number of "special interest" (e.g. administration's code words for "terrorists") encounters is approaching 200 for the year.

The carrier force is a highly-visible deterrent and force projection whereas the submarine force is a lethal, stealth entity.
