Joe Biden is a failed leader. And he is actively attempting to destroy America.
And Joe Biden just opened up the U.S. military to this devastating attack.
The fragile peace in the Red Sea is teetering on the brink as Iranian-backed Houthi rebels continue their brazen attacks on commercial shipping.
Intelligence officials paint a disturbing picture of Iran’s active role, directly feeding real-time intelligence and weaponry, including drones and missiles, to the Houthis, further emboldening their reckless campaign.
This blatant aggression comes on the heels of Hamas’s October 7th terror attack against Israel, claiming over 1,200 lives.
It’s a chilling reminder of the coordinated, regional threat emanating from Iranian proxies, jeopardizing not just the security of the Middle East but global trade and energy supplies.
The Houthi attacks, targeting the strategically vital Bab el-Mandeb strait, have forced ships to bypass the Suez Canal, opting for the arduous journey around Africa, adding weeks and significant costs to their voyages.
These disruptions ripple through the global economy, ultimately impacting consumers everywhere.
Biden’s response, Operation Prosperity Guardian, a 20-member coalition, initially appeared promising.
Yet, just like all of his policies, this one is a failure and cracks have emerged, revealing a lack of tangible commitment from many participants.
Many nations refrain from contributing ships or critical assets, unwilling to operate under U.S. command.
This hesitant response emboldens the Houthis and Iran, allowing attacks like Friday’s missile strikes on international shipping lanes to continue unabated.
While the USS Laboon successfully countered a Houthi drone attack and defended nearby vessels, the incident underscores the coalition’s vulnerability.
The haphazard patchwork of Joe Biden’s failed policies raises concerns about its efficacy.
The Biden administration faces a stark choice.
Biden must strengthen this coalition and actually put together a solid foreign plan.
This requires firm diplomatic pressure on hesitant members to fully commit resources and operate under unified command.
Intelligence sharing and coordinated patrols are crucial to disrupt Iran’s support and anticipate Houthi attacks.
However, if the coalition proves untenable, exploring alternative solutions, such as bolstering individual national patrols or working with regional powers like Saudi Arabia, becomes necessary.
The goal remains: a united front against Iranian-backed terrorism and ensuring the unimpeded flow of vital goods through the Red Sea.
Failure to act decisively carries grave consequences.
The Red Sea’s precarious security threatens global markets, energy supplies, and the lives of innocent civilians.
It emboldens Iranian proxies and undermines regional stability.
The Biden administration must create an effective response to safeguard the vital artery of global trade and ensure the safety of innocent lives.
