Oh I see, so more build up then.
Thanks for the explanation.
No problem brother,
You see you have to look at it strategically. You have the US leveraging 3 CSG: USS Abraham Lincoln, USS Gerald R.Ford, USS George H.W. Bush and the Ambphbious MEU Assault craft the USS Tripoli.

The conservative estimate of this in terms of US$ is E = 1,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 per day.
Then you have over 7000 US marines from three MEUs, USMC ANGLICO, 160th SORA(A) Wing, 82nd Airborne Div.
B1-B, B2, B52/H, U2, F22, F35, EA-18G, F15, F16s, A10, EC-37B, RC135, KC135, KC45, MQ9, MQ9B, C130Js, HH60's.
Add Terra97 seen leaving US for EUCOM - This aircraft carries ELITE pilots for combat missions, the last time this aircraft was airborne was before OP Midnight Hammer launch.
When you see U-2s and EA-18Gs in the same theater, it can only mean one thing, the US is planning to blind and deafen the opposing side.
And you want to know what is the most bizarre thing in all of this? This is not even a quatre of the US's full might or capabilities. For reference during the original Gulf War, the US had 11 strike groups.
