    There were no carriers at sea for a total of 5 days December 31 to January 4 inclusive.

    That had nothing to do with Obama and it doesn't matter, since nothing happened, which makes you a (*)(*)(*)(*)-poor armchair general.

    Show me where I ever said Obama personally ordered it. Go ahead, back that up.

    If you want to look foolish that's your prerogative but it would help if you actually understood what your opponent has actually said.

    You know, even if there were zero carriers outside of their homeport for those 5 days, it's not a big deal. Why? Because we have carriers in Bremerton WA, Yokosuka Japan, San Diego CA and Norfolk VA. Those are the 4 ports where carriers are homeported (meaning that is where they stay when they aren't deployed).

    So no, there is no danger of all our carriers being taken out if they are in port.

    So, nothing happened. No terrorist attack, No Russians, nothing. Given all the fuss you & others made the obvious absurdity of these claims might give an intelligent person cause for introspection.

    So, how did that 'something else' work out? Israel still there? check. Russians & Chinese take anything over? Nope. Lots of silly people say a lot of silly things 'because Obama....' yep.

    The current events in the S. China Sea, certainly represent "something big". Spineless Obama most surely withdrew the US Pacific fleet to avoid a confrontation he was ill equipped to deal with.

    Trump has indicated Japan, and other Pacific nations should develope their own nuclear arsenals to deter China. IMO that's the best strategy. China uses N. Korea as a nuclear proxy, the US could use a few nuclear proxies of our own. One China, never includes "rogue" N. Korea ... what a load of $h!+

    If you are referring to China building up the islands there, Obama has flown aircraft over them & driven ships deliberately close to them - all any President can do short of invading. Whatever you might choose to believe, those were 'confrontations'. Additionally Obama is rotating a marine unit through Australia so that there will be a permanent troop presence there. China is not happy.

    There is still a US carrier in Japan and another departed for the Western Pacific on January 5, so clearly fear of a 'confrontation' wasn't an issue. China made sure its one carrier was back in port, so I guess China was the one scared about a 'confrontation' with Obama.

    Yeah ... at best everyone should arm up with nukes then ... because can anyone trust on nuclear skirmish promise which should hinder such an up arming by will of the USA now? North Korea attacks South Korea and Trump will make a shrunk...?

    BTW ... In NATO concept there are proxys! German Forces have no nuclear weapons and won't have. But NATO defense strategy is that Germany delivers Jets and pilots where then American nuclear bombs are put under if necessary!

    The new defense Sec should see to it that these carriers are dispersed immediately. No port should have more than one carrier in it so as to make it a prime target for any enemy.

    Read the post again. obama's action opened a door of opportunity at an historical time of uncertainty (US transition of power), the fact that nobody publicly stepped through in a way which would make the international news changes nothing about the foolishness of the situation.

    You have obviously never served in the US Navy, otherwise, you wouldn't have made such a stupid comment. There is a reason that Norfolk, Whidbey Island, San Diego and Yokosuka are all carrier ports. It's because they are some of the FEW ports that can handle letting a carrier berth there. Why do you ask? Because you have very large ships that need very special conditions to be able to dock. I don't know if you understand how big those ships are, but the flight deck alone is 90 ft. off the water, and they generally carry a draft of around 40 ft.

    Dispersed where?

    Sending nuclear carriers to foreign nations is asking for confrontation.

    President Trump is in his early days of power. Starting a conflict with Russia or China is only a wet dream for the liberals on this forum.

    Oh save it. Conspiracy nutbags cried rivers of tears while Obama was president and look... you made it out alive. Obama didn't put you in a FEMA camp, he didn't take your guns and bibles, you don't have to face a death panel to get aspirin, and we're not all dead because of ebola.

    It's done. You lived. You sounded like petulant children the whole time.

    There was no 'door', there was no 'opportunity'. There were just a bunch of people who were either trolling or delusional. You couldn't even be bothered constructing a scenario, just vague 'bad things gonna happen'. The reason, of course, is that there was no scenario to construct where these carriers being in port actually opened any 'door', especially one relating to Israel.

    Just more trolling. Just more delusion.

    In a way, I understand your perspective, if a person cannot think abstractly and cannot think in terms of future advantages then the world would seem to be a very bewildering place and forward thinking would appear to be trolling and delusion.

    OK, if you are so brilliant then lay out your scenario. In detail. Tell us what the 'opportunity' was that Obama created. be very specific. Let us have a look at this wonderful abstract thinking.

    If you won't tell us or make excuses then it is reasonable to assume you were just spouting BS the whole time.

    Hahahaha I created this thread and unsubscribed weeks ago!

    Cheer up! Don't be the guy talking about that one game in high school for 30 years.

    You all lost, and it's ok. Globalists will have a chance by like 2032 to be relevant again.

    Be positive!

    OK, so you are admitting you are just a troll. Not a surprise, but nice to hear you admit to it personally.

    As expected, you got nothing. You never had anything but bluster.

    Oh, and its cast. Guess all that imaginary abstract thinking doesn't leave much time for spelling.

    Why would I waste time on someone who has a closed mind?

    And I know its "cast". It requires some attention to detail so you may not notice it, but the spell checker on the site sometimes "corrects" words as a sentence is being typed. People who have been here awhile and have the intelligence to recognize it know and have some leeway for those obvious "features" which sometimes show up in a post. And with that I have wasted enough time on uninteresting posters.
