Trump's "armada" has been heading away from North Korea

[Lakhota]

The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson transits the Sunda Strait on April 15, 2017.

Trump said he was “sending an armada” to the Korean Peninsula, but that didn’t happen.

When U.S. officials claimed two weeks ago that an American aircraft carrier was heading toward waters near North Korea, it was actually sailing in the opposite direction, The New York Times and Defense News report.

Amid growing tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, U.S. Pacific Command announced on April 8 that the USS Carl Vinson strike group would sail north to the western Pacific after departing Singapore that day. An American official told Reuters at the time that the ships’ move toward the Korean Peninsula was a show of force directed at the regime of Kim Jong Un.

U.S. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster told Fox News the next day that the group was being rerouted from Singapore toward the Korean Peninsula as a “prudent” show of force.

Mere days after the announcement about the strike group’s new course, President Donald Trump weighed in on the North Korean threat. “We are sending an armada, very powerful. We have submarines, very powerful, far more powerful than the aircraft carrier,” Trump told Fox on April 12.

“We have the best military people on Earth. And I will say this: He is doing the wrong thing,” Trump added, referring to Kim Jong Un.

But Defense News pointed out on Tuesday that photos released by the U.S. Navy showed the aircraft carrier passing through the Sunda Strait in Indonesia, about 3,500 miles from the Korean Peninsula, last Saturday. It was moving away from North Korea when U.S. officials said it was moving toward the peninsula, the Times confirmed on Tuesday.

The ship has changed direction since then, but is expected to arrive far later than initial reports suggested.

More: U.S. Aircraft Carrier Went In Wrong Direction For Days After White House Threat

What if North Korea has taken Trump's earlier threats seriously - when the supposed "armada" was actually 3,500 miles away and heading in the opposite direction? Did Trump lie - or is he just stupid? Everything about Trump is dangerous and dishonest. Japan and South Korea must be very nervous.

Were Japan and South Korea informed that the "armada" was actually 3,500 miles from North Korea and heading away when Trump was ramping up his threats?

USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70)

April 12 at 3:57AM

SG-1 Families and Loved Ones,
“I want to start by thanking you for your continued support of our Sailors as we continue on our deployment and thank you for all you do while we are out to sea. Your support of the Sailors back home is an integral and crucial part in making the Navy the strongest and most flexible Navy in the world. We couldn’t do this without you, thank you.

Next, I want to ensure you know the safety and security of your Sailors is my number one priority. Your... Sailors have performed at an exceptionally high standard of safety and performance throughout this deployment and I don’t expect the quality to diminish anytime soon. As being a flexible force for our nation’s leaders, we answer the call when directed. The world has a vote of where we go and what we do.

-We received direction to provide presence in the Waters off the Korean Peninsula as a demonstration of our flexibility, capability and dedication to our Indo-Asia-Pacific partners.
-
Finally, know that you have support in the Family Readiness Groups and Ombudsman Groups of @CCSG1, CVN-70, CVW-2, CDS-1 and all subordinate commands. Your @U.S.Navy Sailors make this carrier strike group the most powerful force of the Navy and they couldn’t do it without your support. We will keep you apprised of changes as soon as we know and when we are authorized to communicate them. We plan to return on the same timeline and can’t wait to return home.”

Rear Admiral Jim Kilby
Commander, Carrier Strike Group One

Another idiot posts this. I'll give you left wing morons credit you sure jump hard and in unison when your leaders tell you to.

Ships have steering mechanism's you tool. They can be heading in one direction then suddenly, get this it's crazy engineering shit you probably won't be able to follow but try, they can actually turn and go somewhere else! It's fucking science! Amazingly you can have these giant ships that launch warplanes and send send them to one place and they can actually turn the hell around and go somewhere else. It's unreal how far we have come technology wise isn't it?

Someone should give Trump a world map - and explain it to him. Also, maybe a compass...
