The US has 11 aircraft carriers. The entire rest of the entire fucking planet has a combined total of 11.
The US has as many aircraft carriers as the entire fucking world combined. It’s incomprehensible.
That’s just the CVN’s. If you count the LHA’s and LHD’s as aircraft carriers (which, in order to count the rest of the world’s aircraft carriers as such, you really have to) , then the US has nearly twice what the whole rest of the world does.
But we can’t afford healthcare.
Right and how many of those other 11 aircraft carriers are owned by US vassal states allies?
6 additional CVs off the top of my head. If India and Thailand are considered allies (I sincerely don’t know anymore who is and isn’t), 8. Which yes, means 3 aircraft carriers (2 Chinese, 1 Russian) out of 22 int he entire world are not allied to the US.
I wouldn’t consider India a US ally, except if there was a big enough common threat. We’ve fucked them over at every opportunity, and our military relationship is cordial at best. If China attacked India, and the US decided to dogpile on, then there could be an alliance, but I can’t see India joining a war of NATO aggression against China.
