“We always have to be on them “
Do you regulate the world ?
Not the world. The ones who repeatedly threaten to "wipe out the great satan", and repeatedly attack American ships (see post # 16 on this thread), and also works to build nukes.
George Washington and Congress passed the 1794 Navy Act to build a navy after a lot less attacks on American ships by Barbary Pirates. Thomas Jefferson then used our new navy to put a stop to that mess.
Likewise, Reagan did Operation Praying Mantis against Iran over a lot less attacks on our ships. For whatever reason Iran stood down quickly against Reagan, but they haven't done so yet against Trump even though Trump has hit them a lot harder than Reagan did. Sounds to me like today's leaders in Iran need more butt whoopin's till they get the point.
