US pulls last aircraft carrier in Pacific as Trump focuses on Iran, Western Hemisphere
2026-08-16
[IsraelTimes] Analysts say poor planning and the unexpectedly long Iran conflict have left the US exposed in vital waterways, with China waiting in the wings.
You go to war with the naval fleet you have, and spread it out as best you can while building more as fast as possible, as the Trump administration is doing. Carpers should blame the scarcity of ships on the Biden-Harris Politburo, Congress over the years, and US Navy procurement, all of whom did not ensure more ships were built.
