For fifty years, those other countries have been saying "Do we really need more than one carrier strike group when the US will defend us with theirs?" How ironic that their decision to disarm and allow us to defend them while they spend all their money on socialism is being used as the justification to disarm ourselves and spend all our money on socialism. The difference is, they had us to defend them. Who will defend us?
How many Carrier Strike Groups are required to defend the United States?
Don't kid yourselves, this IS where we are headed.
We can no longer borrow enough money to defend our Socialist Allies.
