DC will have one carrier left in the ME. It is sitting in the Gulf of Aden. It appears the Pentagon is hedging its bets on where it will be needed most. Positioned where it is, it can quickly steam to the Persian Gulf or start up the Red Sea heading to the Mediterranean. It can’t be in both spots at once (three if it takes a carrier to deal with Houthis). Is this the cut or the run for walk away Joe?
Couple billion dollars of warships aren’t used (or even worthless) to defeat Iran backed Hou-this sand rats. China taking lots of notes.
