Many, too many, folks will look to Trump for answers here, expecting Houthis to FUFO via him. Many here prefer Trump to pass the response on to other country's navies, which maybe 'should' be able to handle, but may or may not be alone up to the task. Under Washington and Adams we weren't up to the task, no one helped us until we proved willing and able to fight back under Jefferson. Trump yelling at under-financed, under-performing 'friends' may be indicated. But reading my Constitution identifies other targets deserving yelling. Congress! It gives them, not the president, responsibility for taking action and setting rules against piracy. So if a bunch of sneakers, en route to the Bronx, get sunk by pirates, some one better ask AOC what she's going to do about it! How about Congress sets some lethal rules of engagement and issues letters of marque to cash laden silicon valley.
