The Hill: US Strike Group arrives in Eastern Mediterranean as ‘strong signal of deterrence’
The USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group has arrived in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to “deter any actor” looking to escalate or widen the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Biden administration announced Tuesday.
The forces include the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford; its eight squadrons of attack and support aircraft; the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Normandy; and the Arleigh-Burke class guided missile destroyers USS Thomas Hudner, USS Ramage, USS Carney and USS Roosevelt, according to a Pentagon statement.

ReplyDeletestop being an asshole. you know nothing about what is taking place.
I have worked on a carrier. Have you (2:20)?
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be taking this hard. You would be better off looking up an extra batch of free porn for a total of four batches and taking care of your little problem.
Seriously, you dumb fuck, is an Israeli forward observer going to call the the carrier and request an airstrike. If not what is the carrier doing except looking pretty, fucking up the cruise and messing up liberty?
The crew is more than willing to go to war or drop bombs against rapists, murderers and baby killers. But if they are going to stand by do nothing to make President Bystander look tough, they would rather have their normally scheduled port calls and training.
Seriously now go fuck off.

ReplyDeleteworking on a carrier is fine. That hardly gives you insight to know (1) why it got sent (2) what it is to do under certain circumstances (3) if it is there to rescue the 20 ior so American hostages. You tell us that it has failed to do anything thus far but you do not know if it was sent to something the minute it arrived. Or if in fact it was " a show of force".
I have been in a hospital operating room. That does not mean I can do surgery
Those hostages are not going to get rescued. They are not being guarded by a mere handful of people. Biden is not going to authorize one. Susan rice or someone may authorize one and use the signing machine to get Biden's signature, but I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteShows of force really does not impress anyone anymore. They know the carrier has to leave at some time. America no longer always keeps a carrier on station. There is a dearth of carriers.
There is a difference between working on a carrier for years and you spending an hour or so in an operating room flat on your back unconscious.
Why it got sent. There are only do so many things with carriers. You can count them on one hand.
Israel does bot need u.s help to rescue hostages, and they have acknowledgedsome will die but undoubtedlymany will be saved . This carrier is there to pound hezbollah if they committed and to stay Iran's hand.
DeleteThat carrier: a show of force in this instance means
ReplyDeleteIsrael is going to go after Hamas/Gaza. And if Hezbollah, in Lebanon, in the North of Israel, opens a second front and that gets Iran also involved we will not let that happen. I do not play the silly game of badmouthing the Dems or the Repubs, but this situation can become WWIII, since we know (I have read this) that there is Russian support for Hamas. Thus the allies and the axis ie wwII: Russia, China, N.Korea, and Iran and its puppets versus US and its allies.
You know good that Susan Price, John Jerry and others Bidenites are big Iran supporters. Iran is already on the Syrian Israeli border shelling Israel. The US is doing what about Iranian involvement.

Israel rubbishes claims of Russian involvement in Hamas attack
ReplyDeleteThe allegations are “complete nonsense,” Israel’s ambassador in Moscow has said
Israel does not believe that Russia was in any way connected to last week’s Hamas attack, the country’s ambassador to Moscow, Alexander Ben Zvi, said in an interview with Kommersant on Wednesday.
Ben Zvi was asked to comment on allegations against Russia on social media and by a number of news outlets that it may have been involved in the attack and that the situation in Gaza is beneficial to Moscow, as it supposedly draws Washington’s attention away from Ukraine.
The ambassador responded by calling the allegations “complete nonsense.”

A second US aircraft carrier is heading to the Mediterranean for a "long-scheduled deployment," the White House said Wednesday amid an expected Israeli ground offensive into the besieged Gaza Strip.
ReplyDeleteNational Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier and its strike group is set to begin deployment in the next week, and will transit the Atlantic Ocean on its way to the Mediterranean Sea.
It is not currently planned for deployment to the eastern Mediterranean where the US has deployed the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier in a show of deterrence against additional parties joining the conflict in the occupied Palestinian territories and Israel.
Kirby said the Eisenhower "will be avail
A much smaller number of people got in under Trump than under Biden and that was with Democrats fighting him every step of the way.
ReplyDeleteSo the Admin just said there would be no US ground troops. So the carriers are just there to rust.
