How far away is our closest carrier?


IDK. According to the article I linked 11 hours ago we are moving the “USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group from the Indo-Pacific theater to the Middle East” in response to “ the growing revolutionary movement in Iran”.

It certainly looks like we are positioning assets to make a strike.

What I'm trying to say to you all is that the strike to Iran is coming from within.


You will very likely be proven right. But the “troops on the ground” will need air support. That’s where the aircraft carriers com in.

I put “troops on the ground” in quotes because officially I don’t believe that is supposed to be public knowledge.

You know they’ve won ~4 national titles, right?


I do now.

Congratulations to those young ladies. I know they work their asses off.
I don’t believe the U.S. had it aircraft carrier support properly positioned to strike Iran.


That’s currently changing:

quote:

While Washington considers the potential outcome of the growing revolutionary movement in Iran—and the rising death toll from massacres committed by the clerical regime’s security forces—the U.S. Navy has ordered the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group to redeploy from the Indo-Pacific theater to the Middle East.

They know Trump is collapsing the Westphalian consensus from the inside. Greenland is a symbolic override. He’s saying: the postwar structure is over. Security, trade, deterrence, and alliance are no longer bundled. You will now pay to play, obey to trade, and align or be excluded. It’s a full remapping of who gets to define legitimacy.



:bow:


That’s a new one for me in a political context : Westphalian.

Had to look it up:


quote:

Westphalian" refers to the historic German region of Westphalia, its people, language, and culture, but most prominently describes the Westphalian system in international relations—the concept of sovereign, independent states established after the 1648 Peace of Westphalia. It also denotes a geological time period (Westphalian Age in the Carboniferous Period) and breeds of animals, like the Westphalian horse and Westphalian Dachsbracke dog, emphasizing distinct regional identity.

Why do we even care? Iran is on the other side of the globe? Really, as an American who gives a crap?
quote:

The ideal situation was Ohio State going into 2025 when they mostly used the roster they recruited out of high school, and then were able to focus on a few high level players like Downs, Judkins, and a new QB in Howard.


I always think, what if LSU had 3 or 4 better players on defense when JD won the Heisman? :banghead:
2022
1. USC 96.08
2. Ole Miss 84.99
3. LSU 73.88

2023
1. Colorado 78.30
2. Ole Miss 75.01
3. USC 74.31
4. Auburn 74.18
5. LSU 74.08

2024
1. Ole Miss 70.59

41. LSU 37.58


2025
1. LSU 70.98

2026
1. LSU 74.22 (currently)



I don’t know what the heck all this means especially in terms of projecting next season’s win/loss record, but I just find it interesting.

Man what are you going to do over the summer when its really dead?


Good thing we have the slow grind of baseball season, a little spring football practice reports and hopefully very short summer until fall camp.
Probably because local law enforcement is either weak or in on the game and Trump is sick of their crap.He wants ICE to do their jobs unobstructed.

Yeah, thank God Trump did not forget. Cassidy has been a pain in the arse.
They need to teach these paid protestors a lesson.

Start with water cannons.
I like those fentanyl numbers. The trend should continue under these Trump policies.

I don’t believe Trump even cares about Massie at this point. But with that’s said I wish Trump would ramp up the deportations. He’s way too soft IMO.
