In a rare announcement, the US military said a guided missile submarine has arrived in the Middle East, a message of deterrence clearly directed at regional adversaries as the Biden administration tries to avoid a broader conflict amid the Israel-Hamas war.
US Central Command said on social media Sunday that an Ohio-class submarine was entering its area of responsibility. A picture posted with the announcement appeared to show the sub in the Suez Canal northeast of Cairo.
The social media post did not name the sub, but the US Navy has four Ohio-class guided missile submarines, or SSGNs, which are former ballistic missile subs converted to fire Tomahawk cruise missiles rather than nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles.
Healthcare please.
Nah, our friends war is more important than our citizens healthcare.

So Israel is conducting airstrikes in Lebanon, killing journalists and their families, but the guided missile sub is stationed to prevent this from spiraling out of control…
This one might be a little harder to manage, being it a sub rather than a ship, not a research ship, and shoots back. Would think it’d be harder to make excuses such as those back in the 60s today. Israel was pretty young then, too.
Hey, I’ve seen this movie before!
The next POTUS is going to have an interesting term if things keep going south
Americans, please vote responsibly
So Biden? His challengers are a self help guru and another moderate businessman. On the right I don’t see anything but Trump ans Trump wannabes. It’s really not too heartening. I guess there is Uygur, but being Turkish born he is automatically disqualified anyway. And if he gets his pipe dream of changing that, it means the right would get Elon Musk on their ballot. I can almost guarantee he would run, and likely win… that’s nearly as scary as Trump.
The US: let Israel genocide Gazans or else…
These are guys that are supposed to bring peace, eh? Guess we’ll have peace only AFTER the genocide has ended.
I’d say the missile cruiser who was in the right place at the right time to intercept a swarm of missiles from Yemen was definitely a peace bringer. Keeping Iran or Hezbollah out of the mess is definitely a plus on the side of peace. Sometimes the the only thing you can do is keep the violence from spreading, from metastasizing, from burning out of control.
This is clearly a message to all the neighbors that they would regret taking advantage
Gaza had plenty of decades to be peaceful yet here we are. Radical Islam going to radical
And Israel had plenty of decades to stop apartheid and ethnic cleansing. But nazis going to be nazis.
Ah yes defending yourself from genocidal Muslims is ethnic cleansing
So your argument is based on racism, thats what you are trying to tell us?
Basic historical facts are not racism. Educate your self before you start advocating for your feelings.
Since a religion isn’t a race no… argument is based on basic history.
“defending”
Are you historically inept or just don’t know the definition of defending?
We’re a bit aggressive, aren’t we? 🤣 Is your day going fine? 🤣🤣
If you think that comment was aggressive you should probably ask yourself that question lol

Well Ukraine wasn’t launching missiles and terrorists at Russia before the war so yea that’s just called attacking.
US lapdog doing Israel’s bidding.
The US needs to be deterred from the world
