While Russian warships launch cruise missiles in support of its military strike in Syria, it does so with a notable absence in the region. The U.S. Navy has no aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf for the first time since 2007.
According to military officials, the USS Theodore Roosevelt and it’s complement of approximately 5,000 service members and 65 combat planes, has departed to “undergo maintenance.” Whatever the stated rationale, this measure is the result of President Obama’s and Democrat’s mandatory military budget cuts.

How would that have worked out for Europe in WW2? not always the best option
WTF How Much Longer Must We Endure This!
Nice work with that little piece of espionage.
We should definitely send a bunch of US troops to war to take part in an international$#%&!@*swinging contest. Who wants to volunteer their kid first?
Yall do realize congress cut our budget and our carriers are suffering from years of use, you wouldn’t believe the amount 9f maintenance we need as a navy
The Carrier should be pulled out and replaced with guided missile destroyers and cruisers. There should be 2 Carriers about 200 miles out and about 100 miles apart.
Do not forget Putin’s main objective here. The 230 Million barrels of oil in Iraq. The only thing between him and all that oil is just Isis. They’re no match for an actual army or war machine which he can muster. Just think, we used to be camped right on top of it. Obama has no intentions of making anything happen in the middle East.
Russia is doing what the US is supposed to be doing. Bombing ISIS. I trust more in Putin than Obama. Obama is protecting ISIS for some reason.
Kenneth we let Europe attempt to solve the problems for years before it became evident that they wouldn’t be able to.
Given the wars (1812, French/American,Mexican American, civil) that took place within our own borders as we defined our own path I’m always amazed and how we believe we can define that for other countries.
From all the less than half truths and flat out lies posted on here, I doubt everything about this article
