This withdrawal of the “Ford” flotilla will ease strategic pressure on Hezbollah in Lebanon and eliminate a fat vulnerable US target in the area. With the US Coast Guard patrolling the Taiwan Straits, perhaps the Americans are feeling a little naked in the home defense front and maybe they feel the need to counter Venezuelan moves against the disputed oil reserves in Guyana.
Or maybe they just had to stock up on cigarettes and beer and avoid a woke sailors mutiny.
Either way it lessens the effectiveness on the anti Yemen coalition.
