Makes me sad for his family, tbh.
This. He's doing it for the adrenaline and ego trip. It's not his war, and his primary duty as a man at this point in his life is to protect his daughter, not the Ukrainian people. If it was just him, then he can do what he likes. But it isn't just him any more.

Very interesting: it's the flagship of Carrier strike group 8 under NATO naval command. It just finished up tour in the Mediterranean.

I wonder how much of Russia's Black Sea fleet - or their Mediterranean fleet - is actually in the Mediterranean right now? Theoretically turkey isn't letting Russian warships through the straits, I assume being that they're a NATO country, they let that carrier group in if they need to.

Looks like Truman carries a complement of F18 Super Hornets- I couldn't find out what else as far as stealth aircraft.

here's a hot take



one of these days, ima get bored with being right.

Russia is winning, they're going to split Ukraine in to 2 pieces, the Russians will fall back to the Eastern half, the Ukrainian Nazis Freedom Fighters will fall back to the Western half...

and this will be the garbage barge upon which Pres Biden will float all of America's issues in order to hang on to a majority through mid-term elections.

AFAIK they never really fixed the issue with landing F35s on carriers.

it's possible, but not something you do when you have ariel refuelers and airstrips.

I beleive most carriers have 4-8 f35s these days but I could be wrong. None of the other stealth fixed wing aircraft are carrier capable .
