Balderdascious drivel.

In a purely cowardly manner, Iran hired a tribe of riff raff Arabs to engage the world sea lanes. The Houthi pitiful efforts accomplish nothing.

The crowds of “palestinian” protesters in the western nations are having a greater effect.

Meanwhile, Hamas is being killed with no abatement to the last man, woman and child.

I think the guy’s got it all backwards. If the protection of sea lanes is the top priority of the powers-that-be in the U.S. and elsewhere (and I believe it is), then the most likely scenario is for the U.S. to push Israel to quietly capitulate in Gaza.

It’s happened before, so it’s not an outlandish scenario I’ve presented here. This is exactly what motivated the U.S. to force Israel to give the Sinai Peninsula back to Egypt after the 1973 Yom Kippur War. It’s also what was behind the establishment of a strange collection of bedfellows when the U.S. joined Egypt and the Soviet Union to oppose the coalition of Israel, Great Britain and France during the Suez Canal crisis in 1956.

Typical Muslim pirates.

Give us power or we will destroy world trade!

Once we get power, we will destroy world trade!

The only way to deal with them is with force. They have not been dealt with because Joe Biden is a traitor owned by the Chinese.
