The Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier departed the Baltic for the Middle East, and the Houthis are "waiting."

Emmanuel Macron, as commander-in-chief of the French army and the French fleet, ordered the termination of the carrier strike group's mission in the Baltic Sea and its redeployment to the Middle East. Paris attributed this to the escalation in the region and "the need to respond to the Iranian attack on a French military base."

The aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is now beginning its transit to the Middle East. The estimated transit time is approximately two weeks.



It's noteworthy that a French aircraft carrier and a group of other French ships were sent to the Baltic to "counter the threat from Russia." Now, it turns out, there are two "threats," and to avoid being overwhelmed, Macron has chosen to confront one... The coalition of the willing will have to wait.

Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthis have already stated that they are "eagerly awaiting" the French strike group's arrival in the Red Sea. They promise a warm welcome, literally. The day before, the Yemeni group withdrew its promise not to strike warships in the Red Sea.

Therefore, the ideal option for the French would be to simply be late. That is, to reach the Suez Canal after the US operation against Iran has been wound down. Otherwise, they would have to actually fight, and the coalition is not accustomed to those willing to do so themselves.

Therefore, an excellent route for the Charles de Gaulle would be via the Cape of Good Hope, which would take about a month to reach the Middle East. Or are they prepared to do it via the Northern Sea Route?

Meanwhile, Donald Trump announced that the US had "sunk nine Iranian ships." He called this an "outstanding achievement," as reported to him by the military.

            The most interesting thing now is that with the trough that quickly floated away... There is no proof yet, the Chinese will publish it soon, it is in their interests.
            In fact, a very interesting process is underway right now: Iran is methodically destroying the property of mattresses and Jews. It's a tactic. They've taken over factories and real estate involving those mentioned above. This represents enormous amounts of money and enormous losses. The owners are serious people; they'd wring Trump's neck like a goose's...

              What happened to the trough that floated away quickly?

              hi The fog of war has not been abolished.
              Iran is methodically destroying the property of mattresses and Jews.
              This is a huge amount of money and gigantic losses.

              The famous automaker D. Ford also said: “If you take money from the 50 richest Jewish families, wars and revolutions will stop.”
              One of the main reasons for the Iranian people's success will be their resilience during the first days and weeks of the war against their enemies, as well as the great material and moral damage in the form of the loss of money and cargo 200 for the relatives of the aggressors and terrorists.

    Trump announced that the US had "sunk nine Iranian ships." He called this an "outstanding result" that the military had reported to him.

    Trump announced a lot of things during these hours

    From the BBC Telegram channel:
    In another interview with Fox, Donald Trump said that 48 military and government officials were killed in Iran following US and Israeli strikes. Trump did not provide any new names.
    The US President said the operation was "running on schedule."
    "No one can believe the success we've achieved. 48 [Iranian] leaders are dead after [our] strike," he says.
    Such a death toll among Iranian government officials has never been reported before. In addition to Ayatollah Khamenei, the strikes also killed the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the secretary of Iran's Defense Council.

      So who assembled the "Shiite Eight" in Afghanistan for jihad against the Russians? It was Iran, the ayatollahs.
      The Shiite parties and their militants who killed Soviet soldiers were supervised, armed, and trained by Iran.
      So, when some comrades are now shouting that Russia should immediately start practically fighting for its Iranian brothers, I want to remind you that Iran, in its own right, has always acted in its relations with Russia based on its own interests. And sometimes, as we see, it has even fought against Russia.
      Yet, years later, those same Khazar militants fought in Syria alongside the Russian army against the Islamists. Because it was beneficial to Tehran and to us.
      Russia's national interests are the only possible guideline for foreign policy, not the interests of arbitrary partners who were enemies yesterday and who God knows will be tomorrow. request

      Hidden mining can be carried out using Varshavyanka missiles, as well as from merchant ships and the Iranian and IRGC Navy.
      For example, in Wu Un, the entire merchant and fishing fleet is mobilized into the KPA in the event of war; there are designated areas for small arms and missile weapons, and in peacetime, all fishing vessels also serve as reconnaissance vessels...

    So, that fighting rooster, Macaron, doesn't want to risk "De Gaulle"! I think he just needed a pretext to recall him from the Baltics, supposedly to help the allies deal with Iran. Apparently, they can't cope on their own anymore...
    Let's also send both small British ABs there, if they are not currently under repair.
    The Houthis will have some fun with them there!
    Although of course this is all fantasy...
    If de Gaulle goes anywhere, it will most likely be only to... Saint-Tropez

    And when will our people help the Houthis find a couple of modern anti-ship missile systems in the desert?

    Emmanuel Macron, as commander-in-chief of the French army and navy, gave the order to wind down the AUG mission in the Baltic Sea and send it to the Middle East.

    Already good!

    The Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier departed the Baltic for the Middle East, and the Houthis are "waiting."

    Welcome! "Abrasha" trudged off, using all the remaining steam to lick its wounds, sideways, like a saltpeter-ridden crucian carp. The Toad-eater's trough will definitely sink to the bottom, if only it could get closer. It could take out the bridge and the litaks with Shaheds, then finish them off with missiles. The frog needs to be boiled, gradually increasing the heat. And the squeals will be...

    — Legkostupov, do you know what your last name is? Legkostupov, that is, light, one might even say, airy... What did you write?! A striped shirt with an "i", an overcoat with an "e", and shoes in general!... What's wrong with you, Legkostupov?! Listen to me, Legkostupov. The Russian language has words, lots of them. When you put them together, you get a sentence, with a predicate, a subject, and all the rest of the chiaroscuro. And all of this is the great Russian language, Legkostupov. Do you understand me?!
    “Yes, comrade commander!”
    — So, we have a great Russian language! Rearrange the pronoun, predicate, and subject, and intonation appears! "Our Masha cries bitterly" or "Our Masha cries bitterly." Do you understand?! This is poetry! It's like epics, like mother's burrow!... And there are even one-word sentences: "It's drizzling," "It's getting dark," "It's getting dark"... Do you get it?
    “Yes, comrade commander!”
    “You don't feel a damn thing!” When I read what you wrote, I itch in the most immodest places! Immediately you can break a member until you reach the end of the paragraph! Who taught you?
    - At school.
    - Show me, and I will tear it, like a tazik heating pad.
    - I say - at school.
    - And am I, whether I’ve studied abroad, Easy-access ?!
    — If only I had this kind of teaching at school!... So clear!... I would...
    - Freely ...

    I'm not particularly fond of France—they're too often evasive and behave like weathervanes. But I'm even more despondent about these Houthi terrorists and other fanatics who, in the name of religion, are ready to set the entire world on fire.
    Given the choice between two evils, it's better to live in the "rotten West" than to be beheaded by savages for your beliefs. Supporting those who live by medieval laws is a dead end.
