      He’s deliberately placed the Nimitz, an obsolete and comparatively low-tech vessel, in reach of Iranian attack submarines. That will be the new Gulf of Tonkin. There will be a draft, and the use of tactical nuclear weapons is inevitable.

        Bro a single Nimitz has more ciws than most navies and you know a literal air force, they’re old they are by no means obsolete countries would literally kill to take one whole.
