U.S. carrier strike group enters Middle East region after Iran commander warns U.S. its forces have "finger on the trigger"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-carrier-strike-group-middle-east-region-iran/
The American warships' movement toward Iran, which President Trump has referred to as an "armada," came after the commander of Islamic Republic's powerful Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that his forces had their "finger on the trigger."
CENTCOM confirmed with a social media post that the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and the other vessels in its strike group were sailing in the Indian Ocean after being deployed to the Middle East the first public acknowledgment from the Department of Defense that the carrier group had reached Central Command's vast area of responsibility. It said the deployment was "to promote regional security and stability."

The strike group is comprised of the Lincoln and three guided missile destroyers: the USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr., the USS Spruance and the USS Michael Murphy. On board the Lincoln are squadrons of F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, EA-18G Growlers, F-35C fighter jets and MH-60R/S helicopters.

(15,151 posts)Far worse - more careless and venally stupid - than the Plebs they have to convince themselves they're better than because they got money.
There's rich and powerful folks, and their enablers, on that list who are really no better than feeble junkies that live in trash strewn alcoves off alleys.
The only difference is they or their parents might have stole their great wealth legally instead of begging or scamming the occasional coins or dollar bills.
*Rump doesn't care anymore. He's pretty much living in his own world.
But there's still a lot of really wealthy power brokers who continue to profit off their "reputations" who do care if they're on the list or not.

(23,866 posts)It's very likely that Trump was co-owner of the Trump-Epstein sex, blackmail and money laundering operation, the biggest crime in the history of mankind.
Only blackmail can explain the blind obedience of the GOP to him. When the empire is exposed, he stands to lose that leverage, and all his fortune (which is NOT safe in crypto) Also, world leaders stand to be toppled (it STARTED with a prince) , the GOP, as well as any random 5 people you might possibly meet on the street.

We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world, Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
Were spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldnt be the priority, he said.
Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.
Reason?
