In a bold move, the US moved three aircraft carriers and their accompanying strike groups to the Western Pacific, positioning them to control the South China Sea.
On Sunday, the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) and USS Nimitz (CVN 68) strike groups commenced dual carrier flight operations in the Philippine Sea. While at sea, the strike groups will support air defense drills, sea surveillance, replenishments at sea, defensive air combat training, long-range strikes, coordinated maneuvers, and other exercises.
“This is a great opportunity for us to train together in a complex scenario,” said Rear Adm. Doug Verissimo, commander of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 9. “By working together in this environment, we’re improving our tactical skills and readiness in the face of an increasingly pressurized region and COVID-19.”
All three aircraft carriers were hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, which left the US with no aircraft carriers in the western Pacific region for more than two months.
Carrier Strike Group 11 consists of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68), guided-missile cruiser USS Princeton (CG 59) and guided-missile destroyers of Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 9, which includes USS Sterett (DDG 104), USS Ralph Johnson (DDG 114) and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 17.

“Well, 90% of Crimeans wanted to be Russians”
This is correct.
Crimea was part of Russia longer than longer than the U.S. was a country. Kruschev—a Ukranian—”Gave” Crimea to the “state” of Ukraine without obtaining consent of their Parliment (?) which was supposed to approve all changes in borders/land swaps etc. It just returned to its original country / borders. No reason to send the U.S. Army pouring thru the Fulda Gap!
Crimea and Ukraine were both part of the Soviet Union when Kruschev “gave” Crimea to Ukraine. They were still just parts of the USSR. Now Russia and Ukraine are different countries. Most of the people in Crimea are of Russian ancestry.

Per your first post. We are instructed-by Jesus, to NOT WORRY. Have our ducks in a row and NOT WORRY. And we all know what having our ducks in a row means.
Working is exactly what we were instructed to be doing.
So you’re good there FRiend.
The folks that should worry are the ones who don’t know Jesus.
