Carrier strike group (CSG) is an operational formation of the United States Navy. It is centered on an aircraft carrier and a carrier air wing (CVW) of 65 to 70 aircrafts. It’s composed of roughly 7,500 personnel, an aircraft carrier, at least one cruiser, a destroyer squadron of at least two destroyers and/or frigates. A carrier strike group also, on occasion, includes submarines, attached logistics ships and a supply ship. Carrier strike groups comprise a principal element of U.S. power projection over the world’s oceans.
Is it only circumstantial that no CVN stays remotely near Europe or Middle East ? There is only one CVN outside a harbor , and literally only one stonethrow away from its homeport. They behave like german battleships after May 1941.
Looks like he doesn’t want to lose them…
Obviously the U.S. is expecting some trouble back Home…
Or the piss coloured hair dude just want to show his wife something big and impressive.
Smart with a “possible” war in the Mediterranean region….you would expect he would have send at least one little Carrier Strike Group over there….perhaps it is because these Carrier Strike Groups became a little irrelevant with Hypersonic Missiles….they’ll be like Sitting Ducks….
No matter what its a step in a well calculated plan.
So would this mean that the staged chemical attack, that would be followed by a massive coalition strike, is delayed or even cancelled?
Or that Dump can play the nice guy saying; see, we are in no way escalating the situation?
Or could it mean that he has surrended the Mediterranean to the russians?
Or is it a secret deal between the Russians and the us.
My god im thinking to much :-D
The Putin & Erdogan deal took the Stinger out between the U.S. NATO & Russia…that is why the Israelis attacked the same day with their F-16s and took cover on purpose behind the IL-20…they wanted to provoke retaliation & escalation…Secret Deals are made & Broken all the time…there was a time I thought Trumpster was playing a game…but for sure the Deep State took over a while ago…otherwise he probably would have ended like JFK…
keep thinking
Forgot about the Idlib-deal, thanks for reminding me.
What im worried about is just that now Turkey have a foot inside Syria, and if i know my politics correct, they aint gonna let go of it without getting a thing or two back.
But again, now Assad have a short breathing room to either buff his troops or relocate them/some of them to more pressing areas.
Turkey can go both ways… but they need a good relationship with Russia… Europe has ditched Turkey as a Future European Member… so Erdogan needed new friends…Turkey didn’t want 2 Million more Syrian Refugees…and needed them to stay in Idlib…by separating the Civilians from the Headchoppers through Negotiations & Reconciliation-deals…the HardCore Cutthroats will become more & more isolated…after the War in Syria Both Turkey & Syria want a good Border security… so they will need eachother to accomplish that…Turkey has got to leave Syria when the war is over… no division of Syria…
They can’t afford to deploy them. The same thing happened in the Soviet Union leading up to the collapse.
But they can create money out of thin Air what’s the Problem? Did they run out of Air? Is the FED’s printing machine broken..? Out of Ink…? No more paper?
Yes they can print, but if other countries lose faith in the dollar, it will go the same way as Zimbabwe, and that faith is starting to fade.
Short the dollar, buy some silver or gold.
I know…though I don’t care about that yellow metal…to soft to make Knives https://www.google.nl/amp/investmentresearchdynamics.com/gold-and-silver-are-extremely-undervalued/amp/

Looks inaccurate to me:
