Two major nuclear powers have decided to end their operations patrolling the world's seas. The aircraft carriers of the United States and France, the USS Theodore Roosevelt and the Charles de Gaulle, respectively, have returned to home port. The former has given up its role as world cop in the Pacific and the latter as world gendarme in the Atlantic. What is remarkable is that the governments of these countries did not even consult each other.
This is excellent news indeed for all those who are fighting for world peace. We can only hope that other powers - nuclear or not - will follow suit so that all peoples can finally breathe freely and look after business without the risk of being bombed.
Having said that, it looks actually like COVID-19 is the only one responsible for ending these military activities, after defeating a large number of sailors, forcing these vessels to return home! It is surprising what this virus has to teach us every day.
