In perhaps another sign that the US-led ‘Operation Prosperity Guardian’ is not going well (as it has not actually put a stop to the constant Houthi attacks on international vessels), Pentagon leaders have ordered the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower to return home.
The carrier which has led America’s response to the Houthis was already on a twice-extended tour. “Time to bring them home,” an American defense official was quoted in military news outlets as saying. But even with the nuclear-powered carrier’s lengthy Red Sea presence, Houthi attacks have only stepped up.
…
Another nuclear-powered carrier, the Theodore Roosevelt, is expected to soon be en route to the Middle East from its current position in the Pacific in order continue a US presence mission in the region.
As of Saturday the Roosevelt was anchored in Busan, South Korea, amid the ratcheting rhetoric and threats between Seoul and Pyongyang.
Busan, you say? Cancel all shore leave now! Everyone knows what can happen in Busan.
Did you never watch “Train to Busan”?
They were just there to burn off aviation fuel, rack up ‘combat’ air hours, and expend about a billion dollars of ordnance from the support ships. The MIC is happy with the results. Stopping the attacks was never the mission.
I believe that the U.S. Military is walking into a “double-cross trap.” Once eliminated, the “50” States” will be given the option to surrender, or else.
