If I had to guess, it’s because up until now you’ve held the assumption that the people in power know what they’re doing for the most part, and nobody was a dying felon in his last years on earth terrified of going to prison for raping children.

Now you are under no such illusions, and the people in charge ARE dying felons that rape children and have no morals, and the government doesn’t even want to try and check or balance itself.

last time a CSG wasn’t in the gulf of Arabia, this time the Abe Lincoln CSG is in the Arabian gulf near the strait of Hormuz, well in range of Iranian ballistic missiles and IRCG USV swarms. It wouldn’t surprise me if they took losses of surface vessels.
