Retired Colonel Ralph Peters said on Fox News Wednesday that the U.S. Navy’s “goof-up” with the USS Carl Vinson strike group actually helped to deter North Korean aggression.
President Trump had said last week that the Vinson was heading to the Korean peninsula, but i
n fact, the strike group had been heading in the opposite direction.
“The odd thing is it turned out well because this ball of confusion turned into a psychological warfare tool against North Koreans,” Peters said. “It really got their attention.”
Peters described how the so-called “goof-up” developed: “Admiral Harris, our commander in the Pacific issued an unclear statement. Secretary Mattis, uncharacteristically compounded the confusion.
And then our president just ran with the confusion.”
