- pjc50 13d agoYeah, recent events have clarified how much Israel and Saudi (and Bahrain, Jordan etc) are real defense priorities for the US. Expended a lot of Patriot interceptors and lost several aircraft on the ground including an incredibly expensive E-3 Sentry.
- GJim 13d ago> recent events have clarified how much Israel and Saudi (and Bahrain, Jordan etc) are real defense priorities for the US. And why might that be? Presumably because the USA decided to start a pointless war in the middle east?
- pjc50 13d agoYes. The real priorities are not the stated priorities because the administration is lying and/or making extremely poor decisions.
- graemep 13d agoIts not the last aircraft carrier in Asia, as there are three in the Indian Ocean. It is also a failure, not a policy, and if the US is struggling in more important regions its all the more reason to pull back from Europe.
- laughing_man 11d agoThere's no active war in the Far East, at least for the US. Of course you bring mobile assets to where the fighting is right now.
