You have to hand Iran credit for one thing. They sure do like stirring the pot. To make the kind of mischief they are making in the Middle East, they don't give a rip on how many of their proxies are killed. Just so long as life becomes very hard for the Great Satan (us) and the Little Satan (Israel). But now the proxies are going after just about everyone and everything which floats in the Red Sea. And this is where the next great battle might take place.
How bad has it been getting? Shipping giant Maersk has told its shipping container vessels to "take a pause" in transiting the Red Sea. That is really huge news. Why? It could have a global impact. Why would Maersk want to stand down for a while? The Houthis seem to be launching drones at just about every ship in the sea. Why? Chaos. Disruption. Pain. Even though the United States and its allies have been shooting most of these drones and missile out of the sky, it is still spooking many of the shippers. So, more US warships are on their way over there.
On the news this morning, was more about Biden declaring war on our own fossil fuels. He needs to get his head out of the sand and get ready to teach Iran a lesson. Like, he needs to give Iran a "full throated" response. A response which would hurt them. Hurt their proxies really bad. Show Iran that this road they are on, is going to lead them to their own ruin. Until that happens, Iran will keep on ratcheting up the chaos in the Red Sea.
What puzzles me the most about our responses so far, is this. We have the biggest and baddest man-o-war ship in the world in the neighborhood right now. It is about time to show Iran just how big and bad this ship (USS Ford) really is. Or show them what our Burke Destroyers can so when they fire a salvo of missiles. We could park every ship we have in the Red Sea or Persian Gulf, and if we don't use them - then so what?

ReplyDeleteSo have I. It's been some *44 years* now.
"Remember - you asked for it."
They have indeed. Sooner or later they'll get it--good & hard.
