Stop fooling around Brandon.
Put the hurt on them.
We've always taken the freedom of the seas seriously. Or we used to.
We don’t have a battleship in the inventory. This is what they were made for.
Like it or not, when we take our eye off the ball (goddam that Putin) it tends to really screw up (Putin’s to go, that’s all I care about) the world. Now we’re having to (go Zelensky!!!) have to deal with Third World countries taking (Crimea or bust!) out our Shipping Lanes, and leaving (on to Moscow!) us having to use much more expensive (Russia will take over Europe, all of it!, we must stop them!) means of surface transport.
Luckily, the Biden Administration has shown the ability to multitask.
I don’t know why but according to an author interviewed on Al Kresta’s radio show, there is a coordinate sending electronic array on a small ship still sitting in the Red Sea which is directing the Houthi offensives including the missiles endangering ships and helping to avoid US and UK planes. Author had no answer to why wasn’t it sunk already.
Maybe it isn’t really a true story.
And just for good measure, the loss of income from the Suez canal could destabilize Egypt.
But going around the horn of Africa only will increase prices for the west, but ships can do that, as they did when the Suez canal was closed in past wars.
I apologize to our Euro readers.
Your government in Brussels is a bunch of morons, they are a clown show but with real world consequences to the lives of people in Europe.
Your national governments have sold you out (but so has ours) to supra national interests.
Your leaders are corrupt and in some cases treasonous, leftists, homos, weirdos that I wouldn’t let manage a McDonald’s.
Your only hope is to get rid of most of these people, replace them with fresh blood, new ideas, new approaches, and break the chain of corruption, collusion, and nepotism that is entrenched.
What you have leading you now will run you into the ground.
Stop fooling around Brandon.

Putin already has Biden siding with Hamas against Israel. How long before Israel becomes a BRICS nation? Not long. Will they rename BRICS as BRICSI?
Why aren’t the leftist greenie-weenies screeching about the hundreds of thousands of tons of additional CO2 emitted by ships not transiting the Red Sea and Suez Canal?
We all know the answer — Jew hatred is #1 far behind “climate change.” They will support Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis in their efforts to destroy Israel far more than they will support the free transit of ships through the Suez Canal to reduce CO2 emissions.
It’s so typical of leftists — they have their hierarchy of causes and tribes. Climate Change just got kicked down a few rungs on the Leftist Grievances Ladder.
A USN Carrier Strike Group costs about $28 Billion. I believe we have multiple groups in region and MEUs (about 2200 Marines). That’s massive firepower that cannot fight flip flop fighters. It’s like swinging a sledgehammer against a fly.
Too bad EU and China don’t fix this, as it is their Money involved
NOT US
Another resounding victory by Biden.
Biden won’t do a damn thing unless Hussien Obama tells him to. This is all Obama, the anti-American, pro-Iran, muslim. Pulling the puppet strings on the demented old man drooling in the oval office.
Obama’s out to destroy Israel, too.
Kill the Iranian leaders. Problem solved.
