When Deterrence Fails: The Iranian Proxy Threat in the Middle East

A month after an Iranian suicide drone killed three brave American soldiers at their post in Jordan, Iran-backed militants continue to spread chaos in the Middle East. Houthi rebels use Iranian-made weapons to attack shipping vessels in the Red Sea, disrupting up to one-fifth of the world’s cargo trade. American troops in the region have faced nearly 170 attacks from the Houthis and other Iran-backed groups since October 2023.
Please join Representative Rich McCormick (GA-6), a retired Marine Corps commander, and Media Fellow Jeremy Hunt for a conversation on how to reestablish deterrence in the Middle East and protect American troops abroad.

Don't forget the option of "speak softly, but wear a big stick" instead of let's just drop the big one. Hey, I'm with you. Greetings from The Netherlands.

Representative Rish Rich Macormick, why don’t the U.S. lead a joint R&D/operation among allies and partners of a laser-type Aegis defense system?

So… this guy is a psychopath. Why would Hudson post this?

Truly unhinged. But this think tank sounds a lot like this all the time.
