An armada of 12 warships the largest US strike force since the 2003 Iraq war is steaming toward the Middle East as President Trump mulls an attack on Syria in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack on civilians, according to a report.
The aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman set sail from Norfolk, Va., on Wednesday with five escort warships and they were expected to join four destroyers and two nuclear-powered subs believed to already be in or near the Mediterranean, the Times of London reported.
Trump on Wednesday appeared to telegraph an attack on Syria by tweeting that missiles will be coming in response to the attack on the town of Douma on April 7.

The president can walk and chew gum at the same time.
The president can walk and chew gum at the same time. I keep seeing posts that make Bolton out to be an extreme interventionist if not an outright (so-called) neocon, but I don’t see how they are backed up by his record. Sure, Bolton is in favor of vigorous projection of American power, but not in an interventionist program but a program of rebuilding American diplomatic prestige as The Leader on the world stage. I don’t think Bolton is a fan of “nation-building”, but using power the way it has always been used effectively by presidents who know shiites from shinola as the “Big Stick” to go along with clear leadership.
What I get a kick about from that graphic is where is says, regarding the UK subs “location unknown”. Well, then, they’re not going to be much use, are they?
Love me some Tornadoes! One bad-ass jet.
That was BJ’s M.O. The President, and his coalition will do some serious ass-kicking. I suspect some ISIS target will be included.
Listen up , Iran!
Armada?
Not
Ivan has offered to help us. We’re not poking Ivan.
Thank you. Im getting old (47) and my memory is getting faulty so I had to look that up.
Your post was very informative and you very well could be correct.
Im just hoping and praying that everyone calms down and nothing happens.
Is that sufficient excuse for us to comply with their wishes when global thermonuclear war beckons? Does that suffice when their lobbyists in our own government beg for this war against the wishes of the greater citizenry? When have they helped us militarily? They weren’t even in the respective coalitions for Iraq or Afghanistan.
I will now assume by corollary that you believe enemies of Israel are enemies of America which must be destroyed, so please correct me if I am wrong. Do you think the Iranian or Arab peoples as a whole are denizens of Satan which deserve shock and awe attacks or “getting glassed”? Have the Syrian people not paid enough in terms of casualties and suffering? What right would you have to place judgement on other nations, or to place them in a zero-sum game which entails certain destruction, all because the Bible might say so? Do you realize that this thinking and elite manipulation of said thinking has helped create the refugee crisis and demographic shift in the West which we hate so much on this site?
Most of all, do you realize it will be us who must pick up the pieces of this mess, the incoming generations? So much of this results from projecting prophetic dreams on a secular regime which came to being by subterfuge and mass migration. I cannot support Israel in this. We have paid far too dearly; perhaps you may see this if you talk to the veterans in their late 20s and 30s who have had their lives, tranquility, and many times their bodily soundness ruined for fighting these Orwellian wars, and who still cannot supply an explanation as to why they did so in the first place. You could also look at the amount of suicides which occur in the US military, which is far from acceptable.
It’s time to stop. It’s time to look inward and truly think of the children of this nation.
Unfortunately the likes of Iran have chosen to pursue their mandate and obligation for Allah in the destruction of the West.
They, like the majority of the UN all seek global domination by Allah.
That is their political aspiration as codified by Allah.
IT does not help that the marxist muslim coalition represented by obama and his ilk have permeated the US of A.
That’s part of the reason for open borders.... and many, many other issues all contributing to the demise of the West.
