Trump lasă descoperit Pacificul de Vest. Portavionul USS George Washington, mutat spre Iran? Ce spun analiștii • Newsweek România

The USS George Washington aircraft carrier is leaving the Western Pacific, raising concerns about U.S. military presence amid China's aggression. Analysts note that the shift is due to ongoing operations against Iran, which strain U.S. naval resources. The absence of a carrier in the Pacific could embolden China, as it seeks to assert dominance in the region. While the U.S. plans to potentially deploy another carrier soon, the current situation reflects a diversion of focus from the Asia-Pacific to the Middle East. Experts warn that the reliance on aircraft carriers may be outdated in modern warfare, as smaller vessels and submarines could be more effective.
