USS Wasp, Marines enter Mediterranean amid Israel-Hezbollah tensions
The amphibious assault ship USS Wasp entered the eastern Mediterranean Sea this week as the U.S. positions warships to try to keep fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon from escalating into a wider war in the Middle East.

While the Wasp has the capability to assist in the evacuation of civilians if full-scale war breaks out between Israel and the Iranian-backed militant group along the Lebanon border, that’s not the primary reason it was rotated in, a U.S. official said.
“It’s about deterrence,” the official said.

A second U.S. official said the rotation is similar to the U.S. sending the USS Bataan assault ship into the waters around Israel shortly after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, with the vessel remaining for months in the eastern Mediterranean to help provide options and try to contain the conflict. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive operational details.

U.S. officials said last week that the deployment of the Wasp was likely as the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier and its air wing left the region. The Wasp carries F-35 fighter jets, which do short takeoffs and vertical landings, so they can do airstrike missions off smaller ships.

“It’s about deterrence,” the official said.

That strategy would have a strong effect if the Biden Admin. had used it three years ago. They have feathered the bed of terrorists, Iran, Taliban, Hamas, etc. and shunned friendly nations like Israel and Saudi Arabia.

But, God can still use the US if He chooses to.

Good show of deterrence and force. The Marine unit aboard the ship was a unit I once served in.

The U.S. is no longer respected as a 'show of force'.

We haven't won a war since WWII.

The world knows we are nothing but a bluff. We count on our past to deter our enemies. And the enemy knows the U.S. today is not the U.S. of the past.

Can God still use the U.S. if He wants to? Yes. But why would He want to? We spit in His face. We bless that which God has cursed. We elevate that which God hates. Yet we expect God to go with us.

The U.S. is no longer respected as a 'show of force'.

It can be very intimidating when a few war ships are sitting off your coast. The US military is a strong show of force, but the current administration has shown it does not know how to properly use such a great asset.
