New York Times: Pentagon Seeks Carrier Deployment as It Exits Afghanistan, in Sign It’s Readying for a Fight
Military officials said the request was headed to the desk of Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III, who is expected to decide soon.
WASHINGTON — Military commanders are seeking to deploy an aircraft carrier specifically to help protect NATO troops in Afghanistan as they withdraw, the clearest sign yet that the Pentagon is preparing for a fight as it closes the books on America’s longest war.
But the deployment — likely to fall on either the overstretched Eisenhower or the Theodore Roosevelt, the carrier at the center of a coronavirus crisis last year — will mean an additional load on the Navy’s exhausted warships and crews, after a rash of extended deployments over the past few years.
The request, from Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., the head of Central Command, is en route to the desk of Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III, military officials said.
Mr. Austin is expected to decide soon.
The appeal is part of a withdrawal that the Pentagon describes as a “military retrograde operation.” Such movements often require — as they do now — sending additional troops and equipment to make sure departing forces can leave safely.

WNU Editor: I remember when the Soviet military withdrew from Afghanistan in the 1980s, the mujaheddin dramatically escalated their attacks against the departing Soviet forces. I expect the same thing will be happening this summer when US and NATO forces start to leave.

Demented Joe, Shikken Obama and Hussy Kanala own it.
Nobody has to worry: it will be the Trump fault.
Remember Anthony Bourdain’s advice
In typical Bourdain fashion, when asked by author and entrepreneur Richard Reed for one piece of advice to share with the world for his book, “If I Could Tell You Just One Thing,” Bourdain listed 8 things.
In addition to being kind to waitstaff and a few other points, Bourdain ended his list by giving a piece of advice that can seriously help boost your likability factor — “Don’t be a dick!”
If I’ve learned anything in life, it’s that dicks come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. But from living all over the world, there are a few commonalities that link them together.
For starters, looking down on people is a typical dick move. Regardless of color, race, culture, or background, all people want to be acknowledged and treated with respect.
Speaking poorly of others is also a giant dick quality. But here’s an interesting bit of science that may get you to think before you speak. According to the phenomenon — spontaneous trait inference — how you describe other people is how other people see you. So if you speak poorly of others, people will think poorly of you.
Gossiping, lying, being a one-upper or an over-interruptor, and being negative all the time round out a lot of the traits that turn most people off from what I’ve gathered.
So if you want to boost your likability, take note of these behaviors and try to limit them. Of course, not doing them doesn’t automatically make you likable, but it sure helps.

Willie Brown admits it: Kamala Harris slept her way to the top

So yes HUSSY! She did not get one vote in the Democrat primaries.
"Harris officially withdrew her candidacy on December 3, 2019."
B) Joe is demented. There is something wrong with you, when you would rather be likable than truthful when things are so serious.
C) Obama is the shikken. Shikken is not a swear word or a putdown. It is a statement of fact and an allusion.
D) Joe is a zero. He is President Puppet. He is literally trotted out and made to read a script. The script is dumbed down like a McDonald's cash register with pictures. And yes the people around him are idiots. Lain might be a grifting, schmoozing, likable, rich idiot but he is still and idiot. So is Obama. We saw Michelle's thesis although they tried to block it. We know why they blocked it. We have not seen Obama's college thesis, because it would remove all doubt. We would know he is an idiot.
If Obama was so bright, why have they not released his college thesis?
E) You propose fighting the ship with trannies? If they were capable of fighting hard, they would not have transitioned. I should have stuck with the economic and technical aspects of ship building. However, after reading about the USS Fitzgerald and other crap in the last 3 months that was not going to happen. Add to it "much survive an actual battle. Damage control is a lost art." which does not mean a thang to you but it does to people that know sticking to economics and tech is not going to happen.

Overstretched and exhausted....lol
