The USS Gerald R. Ford, the most advanced carrier on earth, caught fire on March 12, 2026. Took 30 hours to extinguish. 600 sailors lost their quarters. Now sitting in Greece for a 12-14 month repair window. Out of 11 total US carriers: 3 deployed, 2 post-deployment, 4 in scheduled repairs. The math is ugly. Meanwhile the press runs "productive Iran talks" headlines and looks away. Trump has no off-ramp and no plan, so the play is information suppression and hope nobody does the arithmetic. Iran spent decades preparing for exactly this. The US is in a war of attrition it is structurally built to lose.
