The Brits have still not learned their lesson, sending
its two bathtubs to threaten China and Russia. During WW2, the 'Prince
of Wales' and 'Repulse' did not even need to enter the war and were sank
by the Japanese upon leaving harbor.
Aircraft carriers and
their support ships are now sitting ducks for hypersonic missiles and
drones. They may boast about 'submarine killers' that targeted
submarines that posed hidden threats to aircraft carriers. They may be
able to track such submarines before they get too close, but hypersonic
missiles are another matter. Their speed does not give ample time for
countermeasures, and it just takes minutes from launch to hit its
target.
Of course, the USA has to downplay the incident involving
the Eisenhower, and even to deny the reality, but to upload a clip from
the distant past to try to fool viewers is a tad too foolish. It is
counterproductive. But how to produce a clip with the aircraft carrier
showing its wounds? Desperate situations call for desperate response and
the only way was to lie about it with a clip that backfired.
Many
analysts were also talking about the recent Iranian retaliation against
Israeli attack on its embassy in Syria, that caused much more damage to
Israel than what we are being told. The Israelis have made great effort
to cover it up, as it was a big disaster for the 'Iron Dome'
invincibility myth.
