The United States is sending an amphibious task force of thousands of U.S. sailors and Marines toward Israel, where they will be positioned aboard warships in case the conflict there with Hamas expands.
Two defense officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss planned military movements, said Monday that the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group, numbering more than 4,000 sailors and Marines, will join a growing American fleet off the coast of Israel that will include two aircraft carriers and their associated escort ships.

They are also being sent to evacuate any embassies in the area that the host nation will or may not be able to protect.
Includes definitely Lebanon, Maybe Egypt, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Tunisia, Morocco, Iraq to name a few. Even Israel if things really get out of hand,
They are there to dissuade Hezbollah. At least some people have said that. What 3:44 would be true too.
The US should not be playing footsie with Qatar. The Us should not have t evacuate Bahrain. If they do, they are incredibly weak. Oh wait, Biden. The veritable picture of weakness.
ah, sure. ^^^ Biden sends two aircraft carriers and four thousand troops and you say what? now Biden is weak?
If Biden was not weak, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and others would not have canceled meetings with Biden.
Egypt depends on a billion or more dollars in aid from the United State and they nonetheless told Biden to go fly a kite. 1 Billion in leverage and Biden could not get an audience. Yes, weak.
Now quit trolling here and reward yourself by getting on your Grndr account.
Look @ 7:12, trying to hype up Biden like it's him pulling these strings 🤣
