"No more Obama like presidents - PLEASE! Let Biden be the last. We need a Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, or Donald Trump. We need the big stick, and someone who is man (or woman) enough to use it. No more kicking sand in our faces! Time to get serious. Time to kick butt and take names."
Operation Prosperity Guardian (OPG). I am sorry - but I need to say this. This is the dumbest name I have ever heard of for a coalition of "the willing". We sure have come a long way since Desert Shield - and not in the right direction. But hold on! The United States is taking a lead role in this new initiative. And one of the major players, our longtime ally (France), just pulled out of the coalition. Why? The United States has shown zero leadership in the Middle East as of late. As such, the French said they will act as guardians for their own ships, thank you. Chalk another one up for Team Biden.
Why is the United States leadership being questioned at such a critical junction? Actions speak louder than words. With a very impressive cadre of forces in the area, we have done nothing against the Houthis except "write them nasty letters" like Obama used to do. We have had over 100 attacks against our forces, and once in a while, Biden authorizes a "pin prick" response against the Houthis. The Houthis, this ignorant bunch of sheep herders in Yemen, all of a sudden gets sophisticated missiles, which can damage large container ships. Gosh, I wonder what terrorist nation is supplying the Houthis with those weapons.
Because we have a 97 pound, 81-year-old squish for a President, who is afraid of his own shadow (as well as his falling poll numbers) - we do nothing. But yesterday, our inactivity almost caused us to cross the Rubicon. How so? One of our troops in in critical condition from a Houthis drone strike. If that person had died instead of being critically injured, what would no-go Joe done? Another nasty letter. I know what Reagan or Trump would do - all hell would break loose in Iran. With over 600 cruise missiles being in theater over there, being on the receiving end of them in Iran, would make for a very bad day indeed.
I mean, come on Joe! If you are not going to use the USS Ford, please send it home, and we can replace it with the USS Minnow. Seriously Biden - have you looked in the mirror as of late, to see how we look in the eyes of the world? Namby-pambies comes to mind. Or (dare I say it) - pussies (as in pussy cats).
Seeing Biden as our Commander in Chief, makes me think back of the movie The Mouse that Roared - only we are not the mouse. The "mouse" is the Houthis, and I am surprised they can even stand up, they are laughing so hard at our cowardness. They kick sand in our face, and laugh doing it. Now Iran is threatening to shut down the entire Med. Why so bold? Because Iran knows we won't do anything. We might as well just pack up and go home, for all the good we are doing over there.

"...I am surprised they can even stand up, they are laughing so hard at our cowardness."
ReplyDeleteI believe the word is _cowardice_--but yes, Biden exhibits the trait.
"We need the big stick, and someone who is man (or woman) enough to use it."
Indeed. I happen to own plenty of (literal) big sticks but am poorly placed to hit the Mullahocratic Oligarchy of Iran with anything at the moment. I'd need a Trump type to hire me.
