Said not much was going to happen with only one carrier. Don't know if this is correct but this article says there are moving a couple into the area. What's up ? Hasbeen

A succinct, if not diplomatic-speak summation, I think! smile

I almost laugh when I read the media description of the carrier group. They mention the destroyers like they are the most powerful ship and forget the cruiser. I guess destroyers sound meaner.

If we only really knew the chess game and all the moves, I bet some of us would be surprised from time to time.

My take, lots of things are happening, in one move, that haven't happened in the last 8 years or so.

And today in town, OT I know, there is a shack that has not taken down the hillary signs yet... today it has a sign he is not my president... hmmm pluck you, I had to put up with 8 years of your chit, good for you now you worthless government tit leach.

I recall saying one is just a statement, two are needed for mutual support and three enhances combat operations sustainability and survivability against a serious enemy. For Gulf War one, we deployed SIX.

Also a reminder to China to be smart and play nice. Their technology is still 60 years behind ours and they know it.

I hope this is all just a distraction while someone puts a pinch of strychnine in pudgy-poo's Scotch.

Wow! Do we even have six carrier groups in total anymore?

Hopefully a few Ohio class 'boomers', assuming they are still in service? Considering who was in the WH the last eight years, I shouldn't assume anything, I suppose!

Oh yeah. they are still in service, but this is not their game and they don't need to be even in the same ocean. Even if the gooks go nuke, it will be a "tactical" game and not strategic.

I think to the MSM, "cruiser" invokes an image of the friendly gay pickup artist in the next apartment.

We have a carrier based in Japan. Conveniently located for just such a need. Don't forget a 'few' USAF assets located in the neighborhood. The norks are in trouble if the hounds are released.

From Guam to Pyongyang is only 2100 miles. A flight of B-2s would barely have time to get to cruising altitude. (sarcasm)

I think the biggest concern is Fatboy slamming Soule with hundreds of thousands of artilary shells before the B-2's get there.

But, I'm sure Mad Dog and team have that under advisement. They probably have more tricks than anyone knows, Fatboy included.

Hope it doesn't come to that, but this situation needs to addressed sooner than later, before they are able to perfect the really big stuff.

A little gunboat diplomacy to keep the little bastid from pushing the button.
