It isn’t the job of the US military to fight wars for Israeli shipping profits.
Or is it?…
Regardless of whose job it is to protect Israelis’ shipping profits, it is important to realize that a non-state actor has pretty much closed a major world shipping route—Red Sea, Suez Canal, to Mediterranean Sea and Europe.
Egypt is probably financially hurt the most as Suez tolls make up a significant part of their government’s revenue. The extra cost of shipping things around Africa will raise the prices of everything carried by the ships.
Someone, not saying it should be us, is going to have to stop them from doing this.
