Four carriers & escorts in the pacific?
Why is that relevant?
To prevent other state actors from attempting to harm us during this transition? Russia / China?

New Revelation (for most): The theory that General Flynn plead guilty to lying, was because the FBI/Prosecutors threatened to frame his son, if he didn't, IS TRUE.
The “side deal,” according to National Review, was made with Flynn’s former defense team “to not prosecute Flynn’s son—despite threatening to Flynn that he would do so–in order to get Flynn to plead guilty.”

confusing a Nobel prize with a Pulitzer prize
link
In his will Pulitzer bestowed an endowment on Columbia of $2,000,000 for the establishment of a School of Journalism, one-fourth of which was to be "applied to prizes or scholarships for the encouragement of public service, public morals, American literature, and the advancement of education."
In doing so, he stated: "I am deeply interested in the progress and elevation of journalism, having spent my life in that profession, regarding it as a noble profession and one of unequaled importance for its influence upon the minds and morals of the people. I desire to assist in attracting to this profession young men of character and ability, also to help those already engaged in the profession to acquire the highest moral and intellectual training."

Interesting analogy and you are probably right. We have waited a long time and whenever the next week comes through the summer will be epic.
Hard to live without hope of justice. Exoneration of Flynn is the tip of the iceberg.

In criminal investigation, one classic technique is when you draw a suspect into an interview at the station, you prepare fake props which indicate a high level of knowledge about their activities and imply certain evidence. You can make up thick fake case file the size of a phonebook and plop it on the desk in front of them. Another effective method is to simply write the names of their known associates on a blackboard and march them past it.
Effectively you are trolling the suspect into spilling their guts.
That's what this reminds me of, planted "evidence". Now, who is trolling whom? Objectively, I think the people looking for evidence of "kids being rescued" are being trolled with the white/black board technique.
I remember discussions on the thread of a Chinese plan to invade US through the south and up a main highway... would local air superiority be a necessity?

M1TA1, I don't think POTUS was making a mistake with the Nobel/Pullitzer confusion!
I think he was hinting at BOOMS ahead because Alfred Nobel made his money from the discovery of DYNAMITE!!!
"I ask you to contain your impatience because I believe we are coming, now, to the end of the first phase of this conflict, and in spite of all the suffering we have so nearly succeeded"

Nice catch on the 27 oil tankers Phoenix.
Just a thought... could they have been converted to carry an invasion force or jets?
Nimitz class aircraft carriers (longest) are just over a 1000ft long... whereas the longest oil tankers are over 1500 foot - plenty of runway room, especially if set on the diagonal!
How big a threat would 27 aircraft carriers be off California?

Might be worth checking the tankers national ownership (rather than flag country).
