‘WHO decided this?’: Courtney CLASHES with Hegseth, Caine over 3 US carriers' presence in Mid-East

Rep. Joe Courtney questioned Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine over US force positioning and global threat priorities. Courtney referenced the January National Defense Strategy, which ranked China as the top US threat, followed by Russia and North Korea, while describing Iran as 'weaker and more vulnerable than it has been in decades.' He questioned the strategic 'imbalance' of deploying significant U.S. military assets to the Middle East amid the Iran conflict.
