Even if aircraft carriers are parked far out at sea, they are still targets for missiles from shore and with Russian intelligence and Chinese weapons, their location is an open secret and taking them out is no longer impossible when the shit hits the fan. Iran has proven it has missiles with a range of 2,500 to 3,000 mile that can reach anywhere in the Arabian Sea and threatening Diego Garcia.
They carrier strike group hype is still a threat, but it is growing out of fashion. The Russians, Chinese and North Koreans are not just sitting idly by. They are watching, learning and calculating. There is no more necessity to have too many aircraft carriers when a few cheap missiles can turn the tables. China is reported to be making more submarines instead that might be a better alternative.
Oh, lest I forget about those reports that China is even arming container vessels with missiles hidden in containers and fishing boats with missiles that can be turned into warships when needed. Believe it or not is irrelevant. The proof of the pudding is always in the eating when the time comes.

The USA military is still living in 'La la land', a mindset of a bygone era. Very telling indeed, that it just needs a mid-tier military power like Iran to put it in its place. Not one needing naval or air superiority to carry that out.
USA's military adventure in the Middle East has failed beyond imagination. Only denial is still holding up USA's ego in place. Trump has no more cards to play militarily and is turning to economic isolation to rein in Iran, which is going to fail. Sanctions have never been known to succeed in bringing down a regime anywhere in the world. This has been proven for decades - in Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Russia and a host of other minor nations.
More than 45 years have gone by with USA sanctions on Iran, but Iran has not collapse. Still breathing, still retaliating, still standing and its people more patriotic, with even bribes to buy over its top IRGC leaders falling flat. What a shameful failure. Throwing more at Iran is going to make it even more determined to survive.
A civilization of several thousand years like Iran knows about overcoming odds and sufferings, about how to survive and how to rise up from the ashes. Like China, Iran has not collapse from internal turmoil nor external subterfuge. Like China, in the face of adversity, the people moved closer to its leaders, never going to succumb. Canada is taking a leaf from China and the whole world saw what it has done so far and are honestly taking hats off to Mark Carney for his bravery.
But Mark Carney needs to be careful with his moves. Pakistan's outed leader, Imran Khan, was highly impressed with and wanted to follow China's socialist policy of lifting millions out of poverty. That was an afront on the highly touted but failed democratic model of the USA. Imran Khan was removed through a coup instigated by the USA. He was also the first leader to visit Putin at the start of the Ukraine War. They got to him in a pre-emptive move.
WW3 is not going to be the same as WW2. Every war has a different weapon that overwhelms all others. Aircraft carriers are WW2 weapons. Hypersonic drones and missiles are the future warfare weapons. We have not yet envisaged the use of military robots fighting on the ground. But they are evolving.
Yes Canada is just next to the Terrorists State and this mad.Tramp with their Evil CIA could do much harm to the Canadian PM
The Silly think should be Smart Euro Nuts Leaders with no balls are just simply pushing Canada into the front line confrontation of both of them.
The Euro Nuts Leaders have no such capability like Mark Carney and Professor Sachs and even Kishore are both saying that they are the Worst Leaders of Europe.
New Generation Leaders are supposed to be Smarter tha the Old but it seemed that now the more so called learned and electrocuted are more Numb and dumb in their brains.
