Bomb the Houthis and Open the Goddamn Shipping Lane

 

On the latest episode of The Blind Spot, I lay out why the U.S. should use force to reopen the Red Sea shipping lanes the Houthis are shutting down. They’re not freedom fighters—they’re a militant theocracy backed by Iran, firing missiles at global trade. I explain why this chokepoint matters, how it hits supply chains everywhere, and why it’s not just Europe’s problem—it’s ours. I push back on critics like J.D. Vance and make the case that keeping shipping lanes open is in America’s interest. When someone closes one, we open it. Simple.
