I don’t doubt you couldn’t. We could easily send resupply ships from abroad. I am continually amazed at how bad even smart people are at seeing through bullshit.
Thing about supply chains in war, they gotta be close by. We can’t be continually flying and air dropping supplies out there because the cost is too much. I am pretty sure there is also nowhere around to land and refuel your aircraft so you wouldn’t be making it back either.
We have ships, load them with supplies and sail them there.
Obviously you can’t resupply an aircraft carrier group with aircraft, it’s too dumb to respond to I would have thought. As is this argument that we can’t resupply by ships, of which we have plenty by the way, more than all the other nations of the world combined last I heard 25 years back as a matter of fact.
Okay but that takes time. So if you weren’t already doing that, starting immediately still means the Lincoln is sitting there unsupplied until your ships get there. If I recall, most of our bases there were landlocked before they became piles of ash.
