FYI, Charles de Gaulle - the nuclear powered carrier - participated Last month in combined exercises with Harry S Truman group in Mediterranean. As to US taking over the world, I am glad that Russia still have a capability to completely annihilate US. With this warmonger in White House any peace and freedom loving country must have a potent military force !
