TEHRAN, Oct. 25 (MNA) – The United States will send an aircraft carrier strike group to Latin America, in a major escalation of its military presence in the region.

I think people have amnesia. How are they going to do this to Venezuela when it didn’t work on Yemen with its anti-ship missiles? Will they dare to bring this within range?

    USS Ford, cost:
    $12.8 billion + $4.7 billion R&D
    (prob +5bn for the 5 destroyers & planes, etc)

    Venezuela, GDP:
    $108.511 billion

    At least the ratio isn’t as bad as with Yemen.

      Well, I knew Ford cars were getting ridiculous, but I had no idea it was that bad.
