Houthis now attacking shipping in the Red Sea with regularity.
Iran sees the opportunity as Russia is backing the disarray.
The red team claims they are worried about debt and inflation.
Just wait and see what happens if the US does not defend international shipping.
This is the main reason imo of why we have a military. We must be able to trade with the world. We are not our own economy. People just do not get this imo.
We must be able to project power for trade and economic reasons. The impact of this is much more likely to ruin our economy than actually being attacked directly in a conventional manner on our own soil (unless you count Trumpers attack on all ins utions they dont like)
Russia, Iran, NK, have refused to be a part of world wide conformity to moving goods. We pay the price. And it will be much worse economically than money sent to Ukraine.
So why does the US have to be the police of international trade? Because WE benefit the MOST from this type of trade. We cannot make everything and buy everything US exclusively and maintain our current "lifestyle". The red team can try to fool themselves all they want but this is just the truth as it exists right now. The far left needs to understand this as well.
And yes I am well aware of how unfair certain parts of the economy are very unfair to the lower socioeconomic groups. We can change this as well if the red team complies with the appropriate laws.
