America is weak under President Joe Biden and our enemies know it. Just look at our southern border, no one respects this administration. That is why America’s enemies are exploiting us and our great ally, Israel. Look at where we are … we have a wide-open border, there is a land war in Europe, Israel is under constant attack, and evil tyrants like Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin are watching and waiting to pounce. The conflict in the Red Sea makes this fact indisputable.
The increasing number of attacks by the Houthi militia in the Red Sea matter to every American family. These attacks are a huge problem because so many vessels go through this area that are critical to world trade.
Right now, companies trying to get goods across the globe have a decision to make: go through an area with clear and present danger or choose a much longer, more expensive route which will lead to delays and increased costs for customers.
Given the president’s track record of lawlessness at our southern border and ineptitude in international affairs, it is unlikely that this administration will be able to effectively engage and deter our enemies like the previous administration was able to.
There is no reason to believe that American strength will be respected again until we get Biden out of the White House and re-elect Trump. The posture of the U.S. as sitting on the sidelines and watching until it is too late must end. When terrorists target the U.S. and our interests, they need to be wiped from the earth.
