US gets sucked in deeper - now commits to keeping Red Sea open

Operation Prosperity Guardian is the latest bullshit endeavor to make it look like Uncle Sam still matters. Seems some terrorists in Yemen are trying to support their fellow terrorists in Gaza by impeding shipping through the Red Sea/Suez Canal. That’s all to put pressure on Israel, home of God’s Chosen People and the only democracy in the Middle East. And you gotta admit those Yemeni terrorists have some serious leverage. Denied passage through the Suez, a containership enroute to Europe from China will require an extra ten days to make port with its cargo of absolutely everything Europe needs to survive. Does Western Civilization have the wherewithal to weather such a crisis? Well, we do now! Canada has just announced we will be part of Operation Prosperity Guardian! That’s a US-led (what else?) operation to keep the sea lanes open for the cheap shit from China that makes modern life possible! Fortunately, Canada is not committing any actual ships, because our fleet may not be up to snuff by current standards, but we’ll have a battalion of paper-shufflers in head-office standing with Israel for as long as it takes… oh sorry, that was Ukraine…
