On the advice of Kim Jong Un to do something even if it is wrong, Iran dispatched a warship to the Red Sea. The presence of the vessel is almost certain to bring about the cession of Houthi missile attacks on world shipping. Baghdad Bob praised the Iranians for this peaceful action.

The American carrier Eisenhour departed the Mediterranean Sea sending a certain signal that the Iranian led war by Hamas on Israel is over.

Meanwhile, Qasem Soleimani is still dead and Razi Mousavi joined him in martyrdom.

DC will have one carrier left in the ME. It is sitting in the Gulf of Aden. It appears the Pentagon is hedging its bets on where it will be needed most. Positioned where it is, it can quickly steam to the Persian Gulf or start up the Red Sea heading to the Mediterranean. It can’t be in both spots at once (three if it takes a carrier to deal with Houthis). Is this the cut or the run for walk away Joe?

Fair game my friends. Like Ukraine. The ship would not be there if Trump were in charge. They could fire warning shots across the bow. Next time the ship could end up like Solimani or the Iranians killed in Syria. Biden won’t do it.

“Don’t forget. the DEMOCRATS, i.e. Obama and Biden et al are on IRAN’S side!!”

Also don’t forget that it was a DemonRat, Jimmy Carter, that put the current Iranian regime in power. Before that, Iran was a staunch U.S. ally.

Agree. This looks like the US is running away, whatever the real reason.
