Yup, we’re scrapping a carrier. We have a bunch more.
How many carriers does Russia have?
One. And it’s a floating scrapheap that will never see active duty again.

Not sure what Russia has to do with this, but if China (or Russia) were trying to take Hawaii, then I’d be interested in how many carriers they had.
But, considering that we’re itching to fight China, right next to China, I’d say having as many carriers as possible would be a SMART strategy and SCRAPPING carriers to ‘save money’ is simply STUPID...just as not bothering to try to develop hypersonics or defenses against hypersonics, until very recently. I also fail to see why I should care how many carriers China has when it comes to Taiwan
So, feel free to blame Putin and Xi for filling the power vacuum that we (the US) created by continuing to unilaterally disarm (you know, to ‘save money’), but it doesn’t make the world any safer.

Actually the Russians are slapping a bunch of million dollar bandaids on it to keep it “operational” for another 25 years LOL.
