How sorry is leadership in the world?

Churchill had some legit commandos in WW2.

Thatcher had SAS.

I’m inclined to think that neither would need convincing to send ‘pipe hitters’ to Yemen for some payback.

Whether Yemen wanted them to or not.

Wait a minute. A Greek ship, carrying coal, is sunk by Yemen? How exactly is that a British problem?

Are we back in 1925?

So the Yemeni terrorists aren’t concerned with the environmental impact from the sinking of the coal carrier?

Seems like that would upset this administration.

Under the crapulous Biden Regime the ragtag Houthis have defeated the U.S. Navy.

They are using suicide boats now, which are cheaper than drones.

I think people need to reorient their thinking, it’s not sorry leadership when they get exactly what they want from a situation.

We spend billions each year on a Navy that can’t stop goat herders in flip flops from closing down a vital world shipping lane.

The only logical reason why is we are allowing it to go on because we want it to go on, we are shooting down $10,000 drones with Million Dollar missiles, ask yourself who benefits from that and it takes you a long way in determining why this nonsense is allowed to continue.

The longer this goes on, the more million-dollar missiles get shot, the million-dollar missiles we purchase and the more money the MIC makes.

Sounds like they are taking serious measures to demand end coal.

Those Houthi’s are so good they’re sinking ships in the future.

“United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Tuesday that the Greek-owned coal carrier MV Tutor, struck by Houthi missiles and an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) on July 12, has sunk in the Red Sea.”

I would think just on the basis of safe and free movement on the high seas would necessitate taking these animals out.

I long for the days of a certain president who got pissed off and sunk a country’s entire navy.

That gets people’s attention.

So, can we prevent its happening by keeping it elsewhere until sometime after July 12?
