Yes, Islam was the main enemy of our country even before it was founded.

Terrorists from the depths of hell, we fought them off back then IIRC the history.

Pirates become more experienced and able when they prosper; and if they prosper they will also become better equipped, and then bolder. That in turn will make them more successful.
It will affect us and definitely freedom of the seas, just as surely as when Democrat run cities failing to deal with crime spills over onto rural areas and generally lessens the nation’s standard of living, not just those cities that fail.

Sometimes we get favors from shipowners... intelligence from their observations, use of their vessels to move things and people discretely, rather than use an in your face method with a big US flag flying to give us away, etc. Since we no longer have a big merchant fleet but the need for such services still crops up from time to time, it is good to have people owe us favors.

Especially tankers.

“Nevertheless, an unbalance does exist here.”

Your bottom line is valid. There in lies an unsolvable problem. With perpetual unlimited spending by our DC grifters we are so far in debt that it will never be paid off.

They are like irresponsible credit card holders that spend and spend and spend until the monthly bills exceed income. They realize they are beyond the point of no return, so they just keep spending until all is lost.

But before we the voters realize this and properly adjust the DC government, we have to keep living on and maintaining a good defense is part of that living on.

Yo ho ho. They sound like a sorry bunch of pirates. Can’t get in to a room, so they just leave.

Kill all the pirates except one. He is the witness to warn the others.

Excellent.

The US Marines were there with the US Navy to fight and kill the sword bearing Muslim pirates. Hence the nickname for the US Marines - “Leaternecks” ... for the leather band they wore around their necks to guard against sword strikes.

“From the halls of Montezuma... to the shores of Tripoli...”

After the war with the Barbary pirates in 1805 the Colors were inscribed with the words “To the Shores of Tripoli.” After Marines participated in the capture of Mexico City and the Castle of Chapultepec (also known as the Halls of Montezuma) in 1847, the words on the Colors were changed to read “From the shores of Tripoli to the Halls of Montezuma.” The unknown author of the first verse of the hymn reversed this order to read “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.”

Side note: The US may need to yet invade Mexico again, to secure the Mexican ports, where their authorities give a blind eye to the fentanyl precursors coming in from Chyna.

The plot thickens (if this story is accurate):

“Houthis Fire Ballistic Missiles Toward U.S. Warship Aiding Israel-linked Tanker Near Yemen”

The fact that they refused to acknowledge a distress, should get them sent home!!!

The only act on PLAN orders which they get from XI Jinping. None act alone.

No need to unmothball B-52s, as they are still flying and some are stationed nearby.

Pirates are legally called Hostis humani generis

1) Recapture the hijacked ship.
2) Hang the pirates - a short drop over the side of the ship from a railing support should do.
3) Repeat as necessary.

"Otherwise they are going to get caught."

I was wondering... What happens to them after they "get caught" ??
