@PLA_MilitaryUpd There is only one carrier Strike Group in the region, the Abraham Lincoln currently in the Arabian Sea. The USS Geeorge Bush is in its home port of Norfolk, Va. The USS Theodore Roosevelt is in San Diego.

🚨BREAKING:🔺🇺🇸🇮🇷 A third US carrier strike group, USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77), is moving into the Middle East theater. US is likely trying to make a blockade against Iran with 3 Carrier Strike Groups.

Excellent analysis from @Justin_Br0nk on the dangers of relying on the lessons currently being learnt in the Russia-Ukraine war for the next war, especially one centred on the Pacific.

@RupprechtDeino @lylegoldstein Extraordinary behaviour, @RupprechtDeino your work has always been finely balanced, you don't strike me as a 'friend' or 'enemy', just a nuanced expert. Time for cold water on the back of the neck.

Al Jazeera finds the UK has flown nearly half the reconnaissance missions over Gaza since the genocide began. This is more than double Israel itself. Britain is a participant and leads in providing intelligence for the genocide. This has never been reported in a UK newspaper.
