This time the US Navy has moved to confront the puppet master, not the puppets
Story by Tom Sharpe • 19h


Decoding US strategic intentions in the Middle East through the movement of major ships is difficult these days.

Right now there are two US nuclear-powered aircraft carriers – the Lincoln and the Roosevelt – on station in the Gulf of Oman in company with eight US destroyers, most likely two nuclear attack submarines not far away and many, many aircraft aboard. In the Eastern Mediterranean, America has a single Amphibious Ready Group – a force of Marines carried aboard lightly-armed amphibious ships – protected by a single Royal Navy destroyer, HMS Duncan.
 
In the Red Sea, where the Houthi militia continues to attack international shipping and where there is an abandoned oil tanker that has been on fire for nearly two weeks now, there are no US warships at all.

This tells us quite a few things some of which are obvious, some of which are worrying and baffling in equal measure.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
