Joint exercises in the field are planned:  https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2021/03/21/us-belgium-france-and-japan-hold-mideast-naval-exercise/

From the article:  DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The U.S. Navy said Sunday it will hold a major naval exercise alongside Belgium, France and Japan in the Mideast amid tensions over Iran’s nuclear program in the region.

The Group Arabian Sea Warfare Exercise will see ships from the four countries conduct drills in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman. Ships involved include the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, as well as the amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island.

The Belgian frigate HNLMS Leopold I and the Japanese destroyer JS Ariake also will take part, as well as aircraft from the four nations.

The drill comes as Iran has abandoned all limits of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers in the wake of then-President Donald Trump’s 2018 decision to unilaterally withdraw from the accord. – article

Your tax dollars at work, my fellow citizens. Whether the congress critters like it or not, things like this keep the Very Bad People from overrunning us. Being asleep at the wheel (or desk) will not keep you aive.

Iran had best tread lightly, and they won’t. Remember who voted for the Iraq War- Dems seem to relish the thought of going to war, even as they have no idea how to actually wage one. Or end it.

Steam softly and carry a big stick! Prolly got a “Big Stick” just over the horizon, you know…for reasons. Only way to keep a bully at bay is to let him know that if he picks on somebody, he will end up with a very bloody nose. Who wants to pay odds that the ships are there to provide cover for the transports full of Biden Bucks going into Iran?
