      President Trump ordered a military buildup in the Caribbean in the fall as part of the pressure campaign against the now-ousted Venezuelan leader, Nicolás Maduro. That move now limits his options if conflict breaks out between Washington and Tehran over a popular uprising in Iran, according to current and former defense officials.

      In a sign of the Trump administration’s shifting priorities, the Pentagon now has 12 warships assigned to the waters around the Caribbean, versus only six in the Middle East, according to a Navy official. And there is no aircraft-carrier strike group in either the Middle East or Europe since Trump ordered the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier group from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean in October, a marked departure from previous periods of tension with Tehran.

      Can’t read the article, but I was saying exactly this yesterday. They also moved the IFPC system to South Korea, so our ships would be at much higher risk of a counterattack if Iran – with their ample supply of rockets and missiles – decided to lob a bunch of them at our warships in the area. It’s why he only tweets and won’t – shouldn’t – do anything in Iran. Iran knows he’s bluffing, they’re still laughing at him boasting he took out the nuclear sites. Most cowardly president ever. Russia invades Ukraine, kidnaps their children, rapes their population and land, bombs the hell out of it every night, and his response is to blame Ukraine. It isn’t hard to figure out why he has no sympathy for victims, be it sex abuse, trafficking underage girls, or domestic violence.
