Yeah the messaging from the US and allies seems pretty lockstep too, even the wording is similar, all saying Israel has the "right to defend itself" :huh:
Parking a carrier next door also means whatever they get dragged into will drag the US in with it
US presence, at least so far, is likely to prevent Iran or Lebanon from getting involved.
there's nothing thusfar that the Israeli's need from us. they know we wont invade on foot, and they dont need much in terms of weapons outside of maybe interceptors.
we've got more planes on one warship then they have total, but 70 or w/e planes is plenty to bomb gaza into dust if thats what they choose.
iran and lebanon are unlikely to do anything anyways, but with us there it drops significantly.
