The world is very tense with conflicts in Iran, Israel, Ukraine, Lebanon, and Yemen happening at once. The U.S. has many military assets like aircraft carriers, but all resources are stretched thin. The real concern is who’s in charge and how quickly decisions can be made in a crisis. It’s about managing chaos and avoiding a major mistake like the Suez Crisis.
Iran
Israel
Ukraine
S. Lebanon
Yemen
All in play at the same time.
The U.S. has something like 11 Carrier Strike Groups. At some point, this becomes opportunistic, as the game theory goes multipolar. Similar to when police forces or hospitals are stretched by surge demand.
Who is the de facto commander in chief?
It can’t be Biden.
Same question I have been asking since the 2020 election. I know it’s boring. But it matters. And it could matter a whole lot more on *very* short notice.
Let’s hope it doesn’t go that way.

What you are seeing is the end of an officially enforced MASS DELUSION. This was always almost certain to happen.
Joe Biden has been mentally unfit for his entire administration. And this has been clear to EVERYONE who isn't compromised. Think of *everyone* who stayed silent.
I’ve never seen war. I have seen peacetime and peacetime extraction.
Joe Biden is a peacetime president.
Think about what is going on and reaction times in the era of hypersonics.
Should more theaters enter into play (e.g. N Korea, Taiwan) The person at the helm needs to be 100% percent present with razor sharp decision making on low information.
On very little sleep. Night after night.
Now watch this again:
@greg_price11
Reporter: "Any comment on the strikes in Yemen?"
Biden: "I've spoken to both sides. They gotta settle the strike. I'm supporting the collective bargaining effort. I think they'll settle the strike."
Footnote: This is *not* specifically about Aircraft Carriers! There are *many* resources that are stretched thin. Including cognitive focus, munitions, intelligence assets, submarines, technical personel, etc.
Q: "So why did you include a map of ACGs?"
A: For illustration. Because there are a small number of them. Because we often announce where they are.
Q: "Why not add a map of our submarines as well?"
A: Uh....Great question. You got me. ;-)
Bottom line: It isn't about any of the specifics. It's about surge levels of demand and being streched thin. It's about complexity. It's about avoiding a US version of the Suez Crisis. The point isn't about carriers. I'm sorry if I confused you. But it's about surge demand vs normal demand. Thx.
