It's not America First.

I'm open to the idea that we might decide it's worth our effort even if we're not necessarily the biggest beneficiary. Ie, that Europe/others are unlikely to act promptly and efficiently and it's more useful for us to go ahead and solve the problem than leverage it and get others to act.
But I find the Massie/Vance position compelling, too.

One has to ask, do those other countries have the ability to protect the shipping lanes. Because, if they can’t then they should reimburse us for doing it.

Yea, let's leverage this in our trade negotiations. If we are the one who has to police your supply lines, eliminate your tariffs on our goods or drastically reduce your price to US purchasers.
Or, its up too you to solve the issue yourselves.

Is it true that our military ships were attacked 174 times? If that is true, that is an act of war and definitely would be part of America First!! It may be true, that we don't need to be patrolling those waters as much and that we should turn that over to someone else to help, but if they attacked us, they were asking for it. I do agree that The Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden should be managed by other powers at some point, but there is obviously a transition period. Especially when so many of those countries mentioned have so few war ships.

Shipping numbers were known at the outset.

Glad Massie confirms trump’s decisions are sound.

Oh look. You're a bitch. Again...

But I thought Trump only surrounded himself with "loyalists," who would never speak up if they disagree with him?

Yes, our civilian and military ships were both attacked. The people against the attack don't like to acknowledge this. They prefer the more hysterical approach of calling it "just more nation building."
Maybe we shouldn't be there at all, but letting terrorists attack us with no repercussions will only invite more attacks. This isn't like Iraq and Afghanistan where we were in a foreign country. These are international waters and intentional attacks on civilians.
We all know about WW2. We all know what happened under Obama and Biden. For some reason, people still want to turn their back on aggression.

The thing that is being missed is the Europeans don't have the capacity to deal with the problem.....not like we do. They should but they don't and it is left up to us to fix it.

Is this another DeSimp/Massie Circle Jerk? Looks like it 
Tell Massie to stop voting with Democrats and supporting Adam Schiff

I agree with your assessment. Even though it isn't necessarily America's responsibility to protect the World's shipping lanes. Being the sole preemptive world super power. I think it is still in America's best interest to do so.

I love the insight into some aspects of the cost/benefit analysis.
It also helps identify which nations we can solicit gratuitous contributions from so that we get something in return for the risk and cost we incur that benefits them/
