    You don’t risk the queen in the first move. An aircraft carrier will never port near an active war zone.

    There are now two carrier strike groups in the Mediterranean. That is a big fucking deal. They are staging for a serious war. When we retaliated after 911 there was only 1 carrier strike group used.

        I don’t know. All I know is having two carrier strike groups in the same place at the same time is a big deal. They also have an carrier strike group near north korea. Something big is happening and we are not privy to the details.

        another article said that it was to deter Iran and Hezbollah, but even if we were going to war directly with both, 2 carrier strike grips seem like overkill anyway. maybe there’s some intel that we aren’t privy to 🤷‍♂️

      1. There likely isn’t a port deep enough for a carrier, I said that…

      2. Having two carriers in the Med isn’t that rare
