re: Vance On Strikes In Yemen: ‘We are making a mistake…’

I don’t think so. You have failed in two threads trying to promote this.

In your other thread you used just the truth post out of context.

How is it “out of context” when I provided an image of the post itself? Trump’s post says what it says.

Waltz is shady.

Analysts suggest that while the Red Sea is crucial for global trade, the effects on the U.S. economy are comparatively minimal. For instance, Mark Hopkins, an economist at Moody’s Analytics, noted that such disruptions are "unlikely to have any significant impact on the U.S. economy."

And this very likely is why J.D. Vance argued in favor of delaying the strikes to further gauge the economic fallout of the shipping crisis in the Red Sea.

Vance is wrong. Voters voted for a strong America. Allowing savages to destroy our ships, naval vessels, and world shipping is not what we voted for.

I'm just happy to see warmongering making a comeback.

This is where Vance is dead wrong and it is a feature of his politics that concerns me.


The Houthis have been firing on us and more than. a few times. You F with us, we have every reason to fire back and wipe you out. However, it is bigger than that. They fire missiles at Israel, an ally. They are also shutting down major shipping lanes .

Many companies are altering their shipping routes, including avoiding the Suez Canal and taking the long trip around Africa to avoid the Houthis. At some point, you stand up for civilization itself and say enough is enough.

You can pull that isolationist crap all you want but you can advocate for a stable global economy without being an no border no free speech tyrannical globalist or WEF groupie.

These are nothing but hi-tech pirates and for pirates, we don't need a declaration of war. We don't need to give them due process. Just wipe them out.


As for Vance's remarks about Europe. Yeah, they have been free loading off of us and they should kick in their 2%. However, I like the idea of Europe being somewhat dependent on us, especially given the way they are wrecking their own economies. I don't wan't to see a European army that is competent, well funded, and well armed. Given the shift in thinking in Western Europe towards more authoritarianism, I wan't them strong enough just to defend themselves but not enough for any offensive operations. They can leave that to us.

One of many mistakes yet to come

Can we guess the 7 that wrote a hit piece against JD?

Seven Republican Senators Launch Anonymous Attack Against JD Vance Over America First Views

Cornyn and sometimes Cotton leads the list of 7?

They were. Literally a couple of hundred times, between the US Navy vessels and US flagged cargo ships.

They were.

I stand corrected.
