Is the United States trying to get into another war in the Middle East? Some would think so, but at FREEDOMGOFORTH.COM we believe differently. We believe we are taking steps to end the endless wars not only in the Middle East but around the world as well. More aggressively started in 2009, with the election on the 44th President of the U.S., with one exception from 2016 to 2020, our Nation projected anything but strength abroad. Our Nation’s inactions were almost universally interpreted as weakness and appeasement, leading to the expanse of Communistic and Islamic influences. Our Nation failed miserably at holding fast to the “Peace Through Strength” philosophy first nationally pronounced by the Reagan administration in the 1980s. This philosophy is not just fulfilled by what one does, but more importantly by what one could do. Nealy one-third of our Nation’s citizens have no memory of the event shown in the short video above, for they were either too young or were not yet born. In just a very few short years, the number of U.S. citizens that remember the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 will be counted not in the millions or thousands, but in the hundreds. World history, and especially American history, has been shoved to the side in many of our learning institutions in favor of socialistic and communistic agendas. Many in the woke minority have attempted to re-write our American history favoring their ideological bent. All of this can be boiled down to a current citizenry that fails to recognize what it takes to establish and retain FREEDOM and LIBERTY. Many are unprepared, and even unwilling, to sacrifice luxury and ease, the more tactile benefits, than to fight for the more lasting peaceful and sustainable possibilities that can become inevitabilities. So, now we come back to the theme of today’s blog, “Why is the U.S. engaging in conflicts around the Red Sea?” Simply answered, there are at least five reasons in answer to this question, ways necessary to reclaim “Peace Through Strength”.
1.) The world needs to know that the U.S. is no longer inept and powerless. Our actions, both through negotiation by words and kinetic through force, will make other nations and entities think twice before causing world trouble and chaos. The fear of U.S. retaliation and retribution will lend others to value more highly self-preservation.
2.) Actions taken in the Red Sea can be considered to be a pre-curser, one of many currently unseen, to moving Palestinians out of Gaza and into Egypt and Jordan, and possibly other locations as well. The U.S. actions in the Red Sea are of great benefit to these nations and can be considered to be done to gain their assistance, as they, among others, will benefit from un-harassed transportation and commerce through the Red Sea.
3.) Any return to the un-hindered transport of oil, fuel, and gas through the Red Sea will abound to the benefit of the world economy, both through the reduction of energy prices, but commodity prices as well. The reduction of energy prices also reduces the income troublesome nations depend upon to advance their destructive ideologies.
4.) We must not forget, as many have done, concerning the short video clip above, that our Nation had been attacked. Our ships and drones in and around the Red Sea continue to be attacked as well. Those who threaten the U.S. and attempt destructive actions against us, must be countered with aggressive and overwhelming force to show our resolve to not be intimidated or impeded in any way. We must no longer simply respond “in kind”, giving advanced warnings and by using extremely limited force. Our Nation must be able to navigate international waters freely within the Red Sea and through the Suez Canal as well. This supports our efforts to provide support to our allies and others as well.
5.) Few doubt that the “head of the snake” causing chaos and death in the Middle East is Iran. They have publicly proclaimed Israel to be “The Little Satan” and the United States to be “The Great Satan” and have vowed oaths to destroy both. Iran’s reach has been broadened under the last U.S. administration. Sanctions were removed and billions were given in a mis-guided attempt to appease those who want to destroy. Through these actions and the higher prices of oil, their financial influence has spread to many areas, to many terrorist groups, most notably to the Middle East, to bring death and destruction to those who they loath. Iran’s proxies, like the Houthis in Yemen, Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and even splinter groups in Syria, have been bringing chaos and death to many. By the U.S. attacking the Houthis in Yemen, and Israel bringing renewed pressure on Hamas in Gaza and on Hezbollah in Lebanon, and even with Syrian rebels fighting against the Iranian proxies in Syria, Iran’s influence is being stretched thin, and their ability to fund their proxies is waning. All of this can be construed to produce a weakened “snake” making its “head” more easily and hopefully removed from within its own lair.
We have listed 5 reasons Why the U.S. is engaging in conflicts around the Red Sea. Mybe you can document others? As a Nation, we are not acting alone, but in concert with many other nations to bring “Peace Through Strength”. Our Nation’s FREEDOM and LIBERTY are at stake, not just for you, but also for those who look to our Nation as the world leader. Do not fear to be bold in sharing this information. While some believe our Christian Nation should be passive, many have forgotten that Jesus himself said he came not to bring peace but a sword (Matthew 10: 34-36), and He overturned the money changer’s tables in the Temple court (Matthew 21: 12-13, and Mark 11: 15-18). For our Jewish brothers and sisters, can you recount the number of times, documented in the Old Testament, that Jehovah told His Nation to go into a country and utterly destroy them. We must FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT for the defense of FREEDOM and LIBERTY, not given to us by any nation or government, but by the One who we claim as our Creator, Sustainer, and Savior.
