I'm not issuing an order, I'm just sayin' it's gonna happen.

What Team B imagined in their fever dreams was Trump using his patented Scott Adams Superpersuader powers to pivot MAGA to full bore anti-Islamic, anti-Iranian neo-crusaders chomping at the bit to fight the mussellmen in the Big Sandbox for cash and prizes.

Instead old lazy Trump phoned it in, 'Best I can do is more bombs. Thank you, come again!'
@brokenshakles @sickburnbro The leaders of Iran, Russia and China are all statesmen that work within a framework that is primarily geared towards escalation control. This cannot work against an opponent who operates in a fashion that is best described as 'insane'. For years they have functioned as if they are trapped in a locked room with a rabid chimp that has a loaded AK-47 and have tried to find a way to talk said chimp down or otherwise disarm it without resorting to a gang rush.

The chimp has now fired several rounds and wounded one of the other players. We are in uncharted territory.
Reading the specs I gotta say Nimitz class carriers are very thinly armed. Obviously the destroyers and aircraft are supposed to provide the lion's share, but I wouldn't want to be on that floating anvil right now.
'They haven't surrendered? Didn't the Ayatollah see Maverick?'
@brokenshakles I got my info from The Day the Universe Changed, which noted that the need for accurate navigation and precision artillery forced all sides to give in to the scientific world picture.
@judgedread It's rather difficult to arm an Aircraft carrier with anything other than it's aircraft, considering it's need for the Flat Top. The Nimitz class took this to it's logical conclusion, and just specialized in aircraft entirely.

This worked fine in a world without hypersonic missiles, in the same way dreadnoughts worked fine in a world without aircraft carriers.
...or cavalry worked in a world without automatic weapons.
How jews can save themselves:

Give up being jews, assimilate. What 20-25% or more do with each generation. Go and do likewise.

Otherwise it's the camps.
@DC5FAN That’s the weakness of these giant nuclear carriers. If you can sneak up on them and damage their ability to launch and recover aircraft, they just become slow floating hangars loaded with expensive and vulnerable toys they can’t use.
IRGC is saying they rendered the USS Abraham Lincoln inoperable when they hit it tonight. It was a drone and missile attack launched from small fast ships. My guess is they targeted the catapult specifically or damaged the deck so badly that planes couldn’t be launched or landed on it.
@admin So much for US carriers being immune to anything short of a hypersonic missile. I had to endure a gaggle of RL war nerds insisting that carrier group defenses were impossible to breach not three months ago.
