Navy: US Sees Increased Demand for Carrier Strike Group in Europe Amid Ukraine Conflict
© Seaman Dylan Lavin
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - There is an increased demand for a US Navy carrier strike group to be present in Europe amid Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, US Fleet Forces Command chief Adm. Daryl Caudle said on Monday.
"As a result of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, there is going to be an increased demand for carrier strike group presence in the European theater. I think you'll see US European Command Commander Gen. Tod Wolters put his request in for that," Caudle said in an interview with NavyTimes.
Caudle said US vessels are now spending more time in the European theater compared to the Middle East and their positioning matches the vision of the National Defense Strategy by placing strike groups close to near-peer competitors.

Russia Controls Area The Size Of Mississippi In Ukraine Despite US Pledge Of $54BN
BY TYLER DURDEN, MONDAY, JUL 11, 2022
A note in Lisa Daftari's The Foreign Desk newsletter reads of the latest on the Ukraine war and Washington efforts: "$54 Billion Dollars… and Russia Controls an Area the Size of Mississippi". In terms of geography and land mass, this represents about one-fifth of Ukraine.
Much of the Donbas region and the south is effectively under Russian military control, also as on Monday President Vladimir Putin signed a decree easing rules for residents of Donbas and some parts of occupied Ukraine, making it easier for the local population to acquire Russian citizenship, according to state RIA.
Additionally the Kharkiv region, which contains Ukraine's second largest city by the same name, is in the last days coming under intensified Russian artillery bombardment. Bordering Russia to its North, and Russian-controlled Luhansk on its East, a slew of Western media reports are warning Kharkiv oblast is likely the next major region to be annexed by Russia.
Related to this, the UK's Ministry of Defense has warned in an intelligence briefing that "Control of the E40, which links Donetsk to Kharkiv, is likely to be an important objective for Russia as it attempts to advance through Donetsk Oblast."
As for the massive amount of US taxpayer money already poured into Ukraine since the conflict, as well as what's been pledged in total, Fox News has tallied based on the US government's own figures the following:

For those in North America trying to grasp the size of Ukraine.

The Pentagon on Friday confirmed that the U.S. has provided $8 billion in security assistance since Russia's invasion in February, but Washington has committed to spending far more.The rest of the over $40 billion is likely to take years to transfer, after President Biden recently vowed to support Ukraine "as long as it takes" - and following the latest $400 million weapons package pledged.
Earlier this year, Congress committed to spending $54 billion in traditional foreign aid and military assistance in a move to help squash Putin's offensive.
The funds will largely be divided through traditional channels to support Ukraine but will also provide support to NATO nations and U.S. troops stationed in Europe.

The End of Western Civilization
When NATO confronts Russia and China it means war:

This is the end when oligarchs take over...
Ultimately, what this is all about is the total unhindered control and monopolization of global resources with Ukraine looking to be some sort of violent buffer against Russian-Chinese interests:
Even Hawaii has been impacted and it is likely China will at some point step in to rebuild Hawaii - for Chinese tourists:
