I for one am glad that , that “someone in the White House “ who was offended will be back,, and let’s not confuse offendedness with intimidation, we had zero wars started, and it was possibly because the flex of a single MOAB detonation on terrorists. The message was clear then , as is the message of the current “someone “, though the clear messages are completely opposite. With Russia now declaring the US as an enemy, Hamas, Iran , The Hoothies, and countries like Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen taking shots at American bases and ships with little to no response, we’ve got a responsibility to Israel, weather you like it or not,, and looming in the near future got China about to pounce on Taiwan . Seems to me doing nothing,, oh except fund Ukraine , about these current wars is the most irresponsible thing to show the world. We need a POTUS with balls that can and will complete a sentence and put the exclamation point at the end of it.

You are stuck in 1940 vs 2 Milleniums of French history. Grow up man.
Why does US need 12?
Cause we are stupid and our people are fearing mongering morons, even tho 70% of our population can barely survive and earn the bare minimum and yet we vote ( I don't ) for people who choose to fund this bloated military and Pentagon can't even pass an audit, they dump and waste things just so their budget isn't cut and people are okay with, we don't have access to healthcare, education is merely ok, our infrastructure is breaking in front of our eyes, the rich keeps getting tax break while not paying for anything but hey at least we have cool death machines.
We have 20 but only 12 super carriers. The others are more amphibious carriers. You typically only have 50% of them available at anytime but if it was war time conditions I’m sure that could be raised significantly. As to the why. I love the fact we have a large and imposing military that’s peace thru strength but I hate we are the worlds police. We need to worry about ourselves more. A homeless guy sleeping on the street doesn’t give a f about how big your aircraft carrier is. Sad but true
It's called trade.
@@davidporter7051 every country trades.
@@gcarter1973 and if you can't put two and two together you shouldn't ask the question. Because America doesn't produce anything near the quantity it did to become the World's most powerful economy it must use its military to dictate the most favorable agreements. If the United States did produce more it would need the same military to ensure it's goods are traded once again with the most favorable agreements. The allies are allies with the United States and part of this agreement is they will fall under the umbrella of the United States and this includes protection from the United States.
Exactly why do the French need any weapons at all? All they are going to do is surrender anyway 🧐
France needs to show the world they can produce military equipment... so they can sell more of it..
And....USA ?....
Mercenary.... Earning $ on peace keeping duty 😂
Well, yes and they are Russian (and if you are Russian, not to be commented on - without permission). But maybe you can go back in time and comment on the Soviet bombs, like the concrete bombs..
A key point to why it is needed and why there will also be the PANG (the future aircraft carrier) is that the CDG is also part of France's nuclear deterrence program.
Yes not to forget that the french aircraft carrrier always have at least 10 300kt nuclear Warhead to be launch at any time
Build your mighty carrier!
To Show off
France needs it because they can!
ON9, Stupid Sheep Ships!😮😢😅
The French needs aircraft carrier to help the West keep its imperial power of exploiting their colonies around the world. Colonialism is still alive and well but under the disguise of spreading democracy.
Because the north of Mediterean Sea seems ripe for re-expansion
