This is far worse than being isolationist.
There’s also a lot of things one can be between isolationist and neocon warmonger.
I think they want a USN ship to be sunk.
That would be enough to garner support for war.
Many think Pearl Harbor was allowed to happen.
I think Mossad allowed Oct 7th to happen.

I don’t see how people still trust their governments.

We have been and are being invaded and conquered on our Southern border, not in the Aden/Arabian Sea. We shouldn’t be there.

Doubt if the Navy would be of much use along the Mexican border, but in any case what oceans and seas should foreign nations be able to tell us where our ships may or may not sail? Maersk Detroit and Maersk Chesapeake are U.S.-flagged ships carrying U.S. military cargo. Who are the Houthis or Iranians to tell us ‘no’?

Article omits the successful drag-show pride event held aboard the USS Gravely.
That’s great. And sadly true.

If Biden fights Texas the way he fights the Islamists, I like our chances.

You can be sure that if the Left directs force against its opposition in the US, they will not be nearly so humane or timid.

That’s simply pathetic and embarrassing

I have to agree with you on intentionally closing a ship or even two.

A carrier would probably make them dance with joy.

This is 0moeba’s fault.

And ValJar’s.

And at the same time, Biden is retreating & leaving Iraq after Iranian attacks on U.S. bases there.

Marines Can’t Count on Navy Ships to Carry Them to Global Emergencies, One of the Service’s Top Generals Says

https://news.yahoo.com/marines-cant-count-navy-ships-222130925.html

The Navy’s amphibious ships are not ready to deploy Marines around the world on time, a problem that has no short-term fix and degrades America’s ability to deter adversaries and reassure allies at a time when it is needed most, according to one of the Marine Corps’ top generals.

Sink 10 Iranian warships.

This crap will stop.

We need to try flying the rainbow flag on all these ships first.

Lol.

Good catch here is the closing paragraph which sort of sums up what is going on.

The navy is leaving ships out on service when they should be in for maintenance. This is done on purpose by the obama/obiden regime and part of how the regime helps destroy our army/navy marine response to events.

...........

From the link:

"We simply did things that I think, otherwise, we would not have done. We deferred maintenance, we extended or just delayed maintenance ... on ships," he said.

"And those things -- and I'm sure the leaders at the time went in eyes wide open -- but they had to have known, and we certainly know now, that that comes with a price tag to be paid in the future.

And we're paying it now."

When these ships are denied necessary maintenance bad things often happen:
