The world got another wake-up call this week after two ships went down in flames near the Strait of Hormuz. “Unidentified projectiles” struck and sunk these vessels, but let’s not kid ourselves—this is the kind of chaos that weak foreign policy brings. America’s enemies smell blood in the water when our leaders are too busy virtue signaling or bending over backwards for overseas interests to do their real job: keeping our people and trade protected.
The Strait of Hormuz is no random backwater. Close to a quarter of the world’s oil moves through that tight passage. When hostile actors—whoever launched these projectiles—feel emboldened enough to blow ships out of the water, it’s not just an attack on international trade; it’s an attack on the very idea of Western strength. And where are the globalist crowd and their promises of world “stability” now? Nowhere to be found, as usual.
Under conservative leadership, there would be real consequences for this kind of danger. Instead, the usual crowd in Washington will likely call for more “diplomacy,” meaning empty talk and zero action. These same liberal elites love to demonize America’s strength until pirates and terrorists threaten their supply chain luxury. Then suddenly, they want safety—but without any accountability or backbone.
What did the Biden administration accomplish with all its so-called “restoration” of alliances? More lectures, less power. Less respect from our enemies. The message is clear: bad actors can test our resolve anytime, and the worst they’ll get is a slap on the wrist and a strongly worded letter from some Ivy League bureaucrat.
This is yet another lesson in what happens when you let the weak run the world. Will Americans wait for more ships to sink, or will they demand leadership that actually puts America first? Anyone who still thinks our enemies are afraid of globalist rhetoric is living in a fantasy. The world’s watching, and so far, they see us as soft targets.
