Well, US carriers are twice the size as France's Charles De Gaule carrier, and three or so times as big as Englands. I also think they are escort carriers that primarily carry planes for self defence of the fleet.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
