Is an aircraft carrier's location supposed to be secret? Pretty hard to hide from a satellite I'd imagine.
Sometimes there are things that you don't want publicly known even if they're not strictly secret.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Many countries do not have ready access to satellite imagery, much less realtime satellite imagery. Iran, for example.
Iran is being fed intelligence by Russia, so they definitely have that info.

Many of the threats to a carrier aren’t nation states with a constellation of satellites.
Operationally, navies with carriers assume that opponents know where they are.

I think the international community is demonstrating to the US that they can't drop their military support for their allies and also expect that they still help to clean up their messes.
I kind of understand that, although of course i completely disagree with their line of thinking. Iran is everyones problem and open conflict like this would have been hard to avoid down the road. Point is they had months to anticipate this latest conflict, why did they do absolutely nothing to mitigate this? Why was the UK apparently completely unprepared? Europe's economy is suffering, more then America. Why do we e…

Maybe it was just an old stupid treason? Someone against the war and… hard to believe there are no rules about location.

There is no war; there is a speical military operation, an excursion or a preemptive retaliatory defensive strike.

deploy and do what exactly? Get involved and potentially sacrifice a few UK soldiers to stroke Trumps ego? Sit around and look pretty? Having a carrier there doesn't magically make problems go away.
Escorting shipping through the Straight isn't like helping an old lady across the road, it's doing it at a red crossing light while pointing an AK47 through the windscreen of the cars with your finger on the trigger daring them to test your resolve.

It was at best a regional problem until the US and israel decided to fuck things up and make it a global problem, they didn't have nukes, they were not building nukes, even if they had nukes they would not have used them for anything other than extinction level threats, so just like israel, everyone is OK with them having nukes despite being the same type of religious nutjob thecracy, strange. Iranians are very rational when it comes to escalation, more so than israel.
> Ukraine isn't part of NATO, and the US has been carrying 90% of NATO since forever
Yeah idk, maybe don't put cia bases there then? And maybe don't antagonize russia for decades and act surprised when they act like enemies.
You won't catch me defending Russia or Iran but get the fuck out of here with the "the US are the good guys and we're doing god's work by wiping out evil regimes" rhetoric lmao
> Nobody else succeeded.
Yes because that's the only thing they know and understand, bombs, if the problem cannot be solved with bombs they're useless
