I love double entendres because they are so clever and efficient. How else can you communicate two meanings, ideas, or messages and get a two-for-one?
There is, of course, the "Red Sea", and then there's “Biden's Red Sea”. Since Canada is a suburb of The United States, let's call it the “Biden-Trudeau Red Sea”. Biden and Trudeau are both bought, paid for, and willing lackeys of the Left, which seeks to use any power, place, thing, or organization to destroy America and Western civilization, and these two are all in.
As we all know, the Houthis, an Islamo-Nazi terrorist franchise of Iran, have been deployed to harass, encumber, and ultimately destroy access to international shipping in the Red Sea. The good news for the destroy-Western-civilization crowd is that they are achieving their goal.
Pathetic gnome doubling as a spokesman for the Pentagon, Admiral George Kirby's solution, when asked by reporters about his plan to stop the Houthis, is some version of "They just need to stop." Kirby, who somehow reached the rank of Admiral in the U.S. Navy, has been the official mouthpiece of American defeatism and weakness, always delivering some version of the message that two generations of American parents have been delivering to their children: "If you don't stop, there will be consequences... a time-out!" Of course, the kids know that not only will there be no consequences for their transgressions, but most likely a wonderful reward, like the new platinum video game. Just as in parenting, weakness is the most provocative force in international relations.
While the Houthis keep their eyes on the prize, i.e., destruction of the West's ability to cruise through one of the world's most important international waterways to choke off commerce, the emasculated Kirby, as his master's voice, delivers his feckless message of "proportional response, not much we can do, we are having some impact on their capabilities by with the airstrikes on their filthy tents in the desert," etc. Just yesterday, Pentagon Spokeswoman Sabrina Singh was asked: “What will it take to stop strikes by the Houthis in the region?” She answered: “This is ultimately really a decision that the Houthis have to make. It’s their calculation on when they are going to stop these attacks"
The Houthi Sand-Pirate Terrorists are, of course, smarter, tougher, and more purposeful in their murderous mischief than the "Leaders of the Free World," aka America. They have opened the doors of the Red Sea to the Red Chinese and are leaving them to sail through the Red Sea unopposed. But Leftist fascist Justin Trudeau has gone even a step further in his quest to destroy Western power. Trudeau's solution to obviating terrorism and piracy on the Red Sea has been to beg for Chinese intervention. By his actions, Trudeau, both by implication and action, has made a clarion call to the world that it is now Red China, not America, which is the most powerful nation in the world, and the only nation that may have enough influence over the sand pirates to guarantee safe passage.
In 1907, President Teddy Roosevelt, one of our truly great Presidents, launched the "Great White Fleet" for a trip around the world. TR, an ardent advocate of Sea Power, made clear that anyone who tries to stop or interferes with the safe passage of American Shipping on the high Seas would be blown out of the water, and meant it.
The feckless weakness of Biden, Trudeau, and Western leadership has forced many ships to travel around the horn of Africa to deliver their cargo. Now that the West has begged China to be the gatekeeper of the Red Sea, that result and those to come if they remain unchecked will destroy the world economy and bring us one giant step closer to being dominated by Red China.
For America and the Western World, the Red Sea is becoming the Dead Sea. I suppose the good news for the Left is that at least the Red Sea, on Biden's watch and invitation to China, has an excellent chance of turning CCP Red.

"Just as in parenting, weakness is the most provocative force in international relations." Great line. Sums up a great many of the destructive, ideological reversals trashing our once great nation. Never stop using your exceptional talents to shine light and logic in dark and dumb places.
