The US is deploying the world’s largest warship towards the Caribbean, marking a major escalation in its military build-up in the region.

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier, which can carry up to 90 aircraft, to move from the Mediterranean on Friday.

The US has been increasing its military presence in the Caribbean in recent weeks, sending other warships, a nuclear submarine as well as F-35 aircraft in what it says is a campaign to target drug traffickers.

    USA - the pussy state, that won’t help with the worlds true enemies, but instead bully the smaller nations to the south, that never was a threat. As always, they wanna bomb the shit out of poor countries, and then whine about a lot of immigrants after wards.
