Cracks Grow Amid US Military Amid Iran War and Wider War on Multipolarism

• The USS Abraham Lincoln is suffering fresh food shortages, low morale, and mechanical failures following overextended deployment as part of the ongoing US war of aggression against Iran;

• Disruption in West Asian ports prevent replenishment at sea (RAS) operations from delivering fresh food before it spoils while critical repairs requiring port facilities go un-addressed;

• The US depends on its finite, overstretched aircraft carrier fleet to provide long-range ISR capabilities for US naval forces striking at Iran and Iranian maritime shipping, capabilities required to detect and defeat Iranian drone and missile strikes before reaching US naval vessels;

• Growing cracks in US military capabilities and waning US economic power is still offset by the US’ dangerous near-global control of information space (outside Russia and China) and its ability to leverage the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and adjacent networks to infiltrate, undermine, capture, and control entire nations without firing a shot;

• These capabilities coupled with existing military and economic power is being used to disrupt and destroy the global peace and stability required for multipolarism’s rise and displacement of US primacy;
