Must watch: US coalition is falling apart with rumors France is leaving to go protect ships while DoD has virtually abandoned ships idle right NOW within Houthi missile range. I’m also deeply troubled by the sea of US Naval officers & experts here who push back hard on my concerns.
I posted this in reader tips but it seems relevant here. The US Navy is in the best of hands….
Fat Leonard, Who Filmed Orgies Involving Senior Navy Admirals, Extradited To The US By Venezuela

Can we get a peek at what prescriptions are in his medicine cabinet? We’re going to need better whistleblowers than this.
The United States needs Israel a LOT more than Israel needs the United States.
The United States has only ever won one war without help—the one it fought against its own people who, in 1860, recognized it as the abomination it was and insisted on reclaiming their own right to self-determination.
If the Northern elites had lost the War of Northern Aggression, ’tis they who’d have been hanged in the streets of New York, while the American people finally claimed the birthright they had been promised in 1776.
Why do the Israelis win every single war? Simple. They have nowhere else to go. And they’re the ones who’ll pay if they lose.
Yes Lincoln was a butcher. Sacrificing over 600,000 lives to satisfy his ego.
He may have some legitimate points about Little Crappy Ships (LCS) being useless in a drone environment like that now exists World Wide.
His example of the US Sealift Command ship in an Israeli port under fire from Gazan unguided rockets is way overblown. What could a US Navy Destroyer do in the port that Israel was not already doing?
What would a US destroyer in port actually do? Cause confusion as it lit off its radars and jammers? Fire at rockets already being targeted by Iron Dome? The ship was in an Israeli port under the protection of an integrated air and missile defense system that is proven to work, and is an INTEGRATED defense system that America does not even have. We don’t even have anything close to the combination of Israeli Arrow and Iron Dome Systems protecting Washington DC.
You know, if I had 2 or 3 carrier groups sitting in the ocean next door, I’d be thinking about relocating one or four near that stupid pond and that shithole country. If I had half the intel satellites in known space, I’d be making a naughty list. With tankers you can park far away offshore not to have worry about a lot of stuff. That other stuff, that is why the B2s are there. So there are military solutions but countries are playing games here so we’ll have to see what shakes out.
And yes throwing a US destroyer in the middle of an already integrated system is not something you improvise.
The Houtis have, apparently, declared war on the entire world. Why is not the entire world responding?
Because all their shit is in Ukraine now?
This bookends the Biden Admin. well with the Afghan withdrawal.
Zero successes in the past 4 years.
@Thomas: Because Red Sea blockade means higher gas prices which is ok for FJB and Turdeau + eco-Marxists in the West. More people will go EV. Right now people don’t buy, too expensive, no chargers etc. But if they make the life of gas vehicle owners a living hell, sheep will go where they want.
Ding! Ding! Ding! … DanCing … you WIN the prize! What manner of merchant ships are plying the waters of the Red Sea? Ships bringing hand woven Kazak rugs to America? Ha! Nope. It’s Oil Tankers. Ewwww … dirty, smelly, cancer-causing (sic) Oil! What better way to “Just Stop Oil” … than for the gay wife/mother of two Chinese girls to simply abandon all defense of our American Tanker fleet? Who cares if that oil is delivered with a $1M fuel surcharge? Yeayyyy … what better way to usher in an all electric future!? Bomb the tankers. Chase the tankers to the Cape of Lost Hope …
You don’t suppose the Red, Communist, Chinese are funding the drone attacks? Hmmm … I seem to have read that the Communist Chinese are ALL OVER the region. The same Communist Chinese who are funding American anti-fossil fuel Activist groups. Yeah … the Commies want us to END our “addiction to oil” … it will make it so much easier to conquer America
Yeah, yeah … now tell me that I need my meds changed too. That I’m over reacting. It seems as though the last STOLEN election is having catastrophic consequences. If we don’t put an end to the pervert nihilists running America into a ditch … then we’re FINISHED as a nation.
Kenji, I believe both canada and America are finished as nations. We are just waiting for the last shoe to drop as it were. We will not put an end to the perversion and fraud, it continues to expand. J6 would be crushed by JFK, one of the dems idols. Todays democrats are communists and all that is happening comes from the communist playbook.
Don’t know about the world, but the Houtis are working for Iran. For some reason Obama loves Iran, and he’s calling the shots for FJB.
The next pride parade will be epic.
… and “her” two Chinese daughters will be the Grand Marshals of the Parade
Unfortunately, since the promotions and purges begun by Obama, competence hasn’t been high on the list for any of the services, and that’s a large problem…
One of the ways to have lackeys that are faithful is to hire or promote incompetant people. This way they only stay in power if you stay in power, and they can’t go anywhere else. I read that somewhere.
Knowing we no longer have much of a military. Navy, and ever since Bribing, Biden withdrew from Afghanistan we left the British, and the French, and Canadians, and the coalition, Germany, Nato, upon shit creek.Then he tells us that Russia is only going to take a few miles of Ukraine and that we should still donate $200 billion to protect their border and leave our borders wide open. And Israel is killing too many citizens, as if he would know.
I understand why our military men and women could really care less about fighting and dying, especially for or with the social loving gender commander and Thieves now bleeding our military.
As I have listened to many brave young friends with jungle mud and blood sticking to their uniforms say,
‘We are killing the wrong people over here.’
True then, and today.
Just something interesting to note: If what is up there is true, the French decided to protect their own ships and told the coalition d’aller se faire foutre. For now anyways. A lot of countries have been burned by the US lately and maybe they are not too eager to participate. What are they gonna do, blow up our pipeline? By the way, where is the friggin Limey Navy?
They used to deal with piracy and stuff.
Oh JFC, and when Trump wins again we’ll never see the theme of this thread again.
Everyone needs to settle down and shut the front door and relax. No crazy changes on the docket for Delisle in the short term.

I miss Ken Kulak … speaking of those who lived through Communist purges that are dying off. We need to be reminded of their stories.
What’s up, Timmy?
I reject your advice.
If I’m following correctly, Mr. Konrad will be sentenced to 20 yrs under the Espionage Act.
The CA Sec. of State and Lt. Gov. are drawing up papers as I type this … Konrad is attacking our “Institutions”
The Houthis and Saudis are in a ceasefire with a possible peace deal on the horizon, so the Saudis are very likely pressuring the US to not escalate. Plus I don’t think the US is particularly interested in escalating; US energy supply and trade isn’t very affected by this sea route. Russian oil to Asia and Qatari LNG to Europe is reliant on Red Sea passage, and those countries have good relations with Iran so will be pressuring for calm too.
The steady oil price might be a better indicator than some chap typing on Twitter. But we’ll see.
