      I don’t doubt you couldn’t. We could easily send resupply ships from abroad. I am continually amazed at how bad even smart people are at seeing through bullshit.

        Thing about supply chains in war, they gotta be close by. We can’t be continually flying and air dropping supplies out there because the cost is too much. I am pretty sure there is also nowhere around to land and refuel your aircraft so you wouldn’t be making it back either.

          We have ships, load them with supplies and sail them there.

          Obviously you can’t resupply an aircraft carrier group with aircraft, it’s too dumb to respond to I would have thought. As is this argument that we can’t resupply by ships, of which we have plenty by the way, more than all the other nations of the world combined last I heard 25 years back as a matter of fact.

            Okay but that takes time. So if you weren’t already doing that, starting immediately still means the Lincoln is sitting there unsupplied until your ships get there. If I recall, most of our bases there were there were landlocked before they became piles of ash.

              It has been 6 months. We also have allies in Europe, and frenemies all over we could resupply from.

              You are one of those people that gives the authorities the benefit of the doubt. Despite, you know, things.

                I hope there are no allies in Europe willing to help the ones who started a pointless war that has fucked up global economy and killed lots of innocent people.

                The allies in Europe want no part of Trump’s insanity, so we are not helping.

                Sorry my friend, Donald got the US into this mess, he has to get you out. He keeps saying he’s a genius, so it shouldn’t be too hard.

                  There are plenty of countries that would help western europe isn’t the only game in town, and if it was we could send ships from US territory.

                  I am just speaking to the logistics not the morality here. I don’t want to say I’m rooting for Iran, but I am not rooting for Operation Epstein’s Fury here I can assure you.

                  We will not be exiting this conflict, it’s a forever war, despite ceasefires, Israel will reach across borders to kill every time they need a domestic political boost. Until the Epstein blackmail is exposed, and or the perpetrators removed from power, the Iran War is a forever war.

                I’m not giving the authorities the benefit of the doubt. I am listening to the fucken sailors trying to throw themselves overboard.

                    The sailors, on said ship. They are throwing themselves overboard and one of the reasons is lack of supplies according to the families. The government is saying its fine.
