    The amount of money the US regime throws around while a significant portion of us are barely getting by is obscene.

      That’s generally been the strategy of the Resistance, make supporting the Settler-Colony of Israel more expensive than the soft pressure it fronts for US Imperial interests is worth. The US pulls out, Israel as a state collapses, and Palestine is free (along with the other states Israel terrorizes).

      I’m still trying to imagine something the size of a carrier making hard turns

      A US official said that initial reports from the scene indicated that the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard.

        Those are actually pretty agile for their size and can make hard turns

        Ah so the Houthis shot it down and they are using a lame excuse. That checks out.

            That’s why they call it “emergency maneuver” and don’t do that without reason, meaning they had to do evasive manuvers to not be hit by Ansar Allah drone or missile.
