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.

Pretty darn sad that Russia has to step in and do what the USA could but will not do…
Is T&A suggesting we sink the Russian warships? Dummies.

It’s funny reading these posts. It always starts off with opinion on the matter, but then ALWAYS ends in the blame game. Republicans & Democrats blaming every president all the way back 50 years. Both parties lie!!!! Instaed of moving on….it’s the finger pointing game like a little kid blaming his sister for knocking over the glass of milk. That’s what’s wrong with this country, bot parties refusing to work together
