Titled:   It's about the Stratergy... Stupid

An excellent round up of information about the Ports kerfuffle, which seeming points towards the democrats shooting themselves in the foot once again.

...the UAE sits astride the Straights of Hormuz, through which flows the world's oil supplies, 50 miles from Iran, hosting the largest American military base outside of the United States...

While the 'ports' they own are right here in America, employing Americans, secured by Americans, and if we want to simply sieze them to punish the UAE it would take about an hour. In fact, for the Marines to take the UAE would take, about an hour.

The unsaid reason we are in Afghanistan and Iraq is because they are alongside Iran and Syria.

The UAE is part of that 'solution'.

Worth the time to read.
