The lack of a U.S. carrier in the Pacific may be short-lived if the Navy deploys another in the next couple of months. But it shows how the open-ended operations with Iran are running some American sailors ragged, analysts say, while the Trump administration further retreats from the Asia-Pacific region and focuses on the Western Hemisphere.
“The administration says that the Pacific is supposed to be the most important behind the Western Hemisphere,” said Greg Poling, director of the Southeast Asia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Instead, the U.S. is “doing the exact opposite” of its previously expressed goal of pulling out of the Middle East.
American ally-ship increasingly loses value as the Donald Administration progresses.
I wonder what the next president will do to try and win it back.
Dude is literally acting like the manchurian candidate
Bye Taiwan, so long and thanks for all the chipsets.
China takes Taiwan - ram prices will go through the roof - don’t understand how trumptydumpty’s tech friends allowed him to do this. Oh well, the world may become a better place with China in the captain’s seat; Xi at least seems more intelligent and stable than Trump.
Additionally, if China takes Taiwan, they’ll be able to exert heavy influence on Korea and Japan, as a huge part of their import/export flows through Taiwan Strait. Might be able to get the countries to cut down on diplomatic relations with the West, perhaps even getting rid of a few of USA’s military bases in Japan and South Korea

Because USA tech friends want that: they want the trillion profits from squeezing the worker class out of the means of compute. Once we are all slaves we will pay back the dividends tenfold. They don’t care about China or Taiwan, they only care about China’s and Taiwan’s billionaire class, which is with them anyways.
Man, all this is doing is showing any potential enemies just how fucking toothless the US is. Amazing show.
And yet we still spend so much freaking money on our military.
this. its amazing how quickly he gutted us to the point we are a paper tiger.
It really is incredible. So much carnage in so short a time. We’re like 19 months into his 48 month term. It almost seems planned.
If Iran can run the Navy ragged, imagine what India or China can do
So much of the joke is that they won’t need to.
唯一的制胜之策就是不参与
Translated to be “The only winning move is not to play.”
China has attained WOPR technology!
