    I’m certainly nervous about the US sending a CSG there, with their history and all… but in this case, it’s a way to prevent counter offensives by neighboring countries, which do have a tendency towards invading Israel. If they intervene, things have gone reaaaally wrong.

    Well this and the fact that the CSG acts as a moving warehouse for selling/providing weapons to Israel.

      Biden specifically asked Israel not to use the situation for an easy land grab in his speech on the situation.

        It’s a good sign. This and the “first knock” still being in place. Rage is not a good counsel…

      Maybe Israel shoots at some Navy ships again to hide their activities (again).

          In the six days war they attacked the USS Liberty reconnaissance ship with fighter jets and torpedo boats and then invaded the Golan Heights.

    I mean, I hope not, but given the US history in the middle east, it wouldn’t surprise me. He’s not exactly the right person to be complaining about that, though.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    ANKARA, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday criticised the United States for moving a carrier strike group closer to Israel, saying that it would commit “serious massacres” in Gaza.

    Following a surprise attack by Hamas militants on Israel on Saturday, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Sunday that the U.S. will be moving a carrier strike group, which includes the USS Gerald R. Ford, closer to Israel.

    "What will the aircraft carrier of the U.S. do near Israel, why do they come?

    They will hit Gaza and around, and take steps for serious massacres there," Erdogan said in a joint press conference with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer in Ankara.

    Erdogan has previously said that Turkey was ready to mediate between Israeli and Palestinian forces to ensure calm.

    The conflict comes as Turkey, which has backed Palestinians in the past, hosted members of Hamas, and supported a two-state solution to the conflict, works to repair ties with Israel after years of animosity.
