US Sends Nuclear Carrier to Fight 'Cartel Boats,' Ignores Gaza
Yes, the Ford, a $13 billion warship capable of projecting massive aerial firepower, has arrived to tackle drug smugglers. This comes after its high-profile deployment to the Eastern Mediterranean, ostensibly to 'deter' an escalating conflict, only to be withdrawn as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza intensified. The mainstream narrative spins this as a 'war on drugs' escalation, but conveniently
skirts the fact that a more immediate crisis involving US-supplied weapons is raging elsewhere. One might wonder if the real 'deterrent' was less about regional stability and more about flexing muscle for geopolitical messaging, before silently redirecting a colossal naval asset to a theater where it can engage in less, shall we say, *complicated* operations. How many 'cartel boats' justify a
nuclear supercarrier, when a full-blown famine is unfolding in a blockade fueled, in part, by U.S. diplomatic support?
