Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin instructed the carrier and and the 5,000 sailors and Marines of its strike group to return home after being deployed for over 240 days.
The United States aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, known for anchoring US power in the Middle East, has been ordered back home, US Naval Institute News said citing American officials. The move was seen as a possible signal to Iran to deescalate tensions amid efforts by the Biden administration to open negotiations on a new nuclear deal. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin instructed the carrier and the 5,000 sailors and Marines of its strike group to return home after being deployed for over 240 days. Over the course of its deployment, the USS Nimitz was responsible for providing air cover during the troop drawbacks in Afghanistan, running operations and exercises to strengthen US Central Command and US Indo-Pacific Command areas of responsibility, according to the Pentagon. It has also conducted brief missions in Somalia carrying out air raids on extremists in the country and it was involved in training the Indian Navy's 7th Fleet.

This is disgusting!
Slow Joe?
Surrender Monkey to the Mullahs who’s economy is in shambles.
Head Shake.
Biden aka Neville Chamberlain, I wonder if he can spell the word appeasement much less what the definition is...
What is the signal?
Let’s be friends?
Or green light on releasing Hezbollah and going nuclear?
It’s hard to tell what these signals actually mean.
They must have found a cabal of “right-wing extremists” on board and deemed the entire carrier group “politically unreliable”.
Re-education camp time....
They had just announced Iran will have the bomb in weeks.

What do:
1. Canceling sales of F-35 and other advanced weaponry to Saudi Arabia and UAE;
2. Declaring war on the domestic production of oil;
3. Bringing the Nimitz home;
4. Increasing troops in Syria;
5. Changing stance on a number of items with Israel
have in common?
They are all completely unrelated, except they help Iran
And Biden has done all of them.
Biden, China and Iran’s little bitch. But Hunters gonna bank!
oh, come on. most of FR (or at least the loudest ones) stood on their chairs and cheered when DJT pulled military resources out of the mideast.
dunno how this is much different.
and besides, the nimitz has been out nearly a year. DJT would have probably brought her home about now if he was still president.
I found an old article talking about carrier deployments of 8 to 10 months. So this is probably normal. Of course Biden can use the scheduled departure to show goodwill to Iran and China.
Also pulling aid from the Saudis to help fight the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
This, and yesterday’s Yemen order should make the Saudis livid.............
But no worries. He’s talkin’ tough about Russia. “America is back” yada yada yada.
It makes my blood boil. Four years of peace and strength courtesy of Donald J. Trump, and the Dem/Media/RINO establishment starts 2021 from the premise that everything Trump did was wrong, it’s now Seinfeldesque “Opposite Day,” and all policies must be reversed across the board.
This country is so screwed.
Hey Iran.. "YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND"
Oops, that should have been $1.8 BILLION
🤔
240 days deployed???
After 6 months they should have been relieved..
About time they came home..
And yes, I was a sailor, working the flight deck..
