โก A third U.S. aircraft carrier, the USS Theodore Roosevelt, is heading to the Middle East as the war with Iran approaches its ninth month.
The carrier departed Singapore on November 8 and could join the USS George H.W. Bush and USS George Washington in the region, unless it is meant to replace one of them.
Three U.S. carriers in or heading to the Middle East would be a major concentration of American naval power.
What is Washington preparing for? ๐

๐บ๐ฆ๐ท๐บ My realistic opinion on how to end the war in Ukraine:
1๏ธโฃ Freeze the war on the current frontlines, for two reasons. First, so Russia doesn't capture Ukraine's fortress belt in the Donbas, which would let it push further into less defended areas. Second, Ukraine won't be able to recapture all occupied territory militarily in the short term, despite currently winning on the frontlines.
2๏ธโฃ Peace must not be existential for either side, or it will never come about.
3๏ธโฃ Redrawing state borders in the Donbas so Putin can declare victory to his own population isn't a bad idea. It keeps him in power, so the deal isn't an existential crisis for the Kremlin, and Ukraine keeps key hard-fought land.
๐ก๏ธ Security guarantees:
โข Ukraine must maintain a strong army, fully financed by the West.
โข The EU and US must give strong guarantees to prevent another Russian invasion, meaning an Article 5-style commitment, which doesn't have to be through NATO.
โข International peacekeepers must be present in demilitarized zones to prevent provocations from restarting the war.
