Episode notes
Superficial Terrorist Label
- The Biden administration's labeling of the Houthis as a terrorist organization is superficial.
- It lacks the impactful sanctions and kinetic operation capabilities of the Trump administration's FTO designation.
Reasons for Biden's Inert Response
- Biden's inert response to Iran's aggression might stem from a leftist appeasement ideology.
- It could also be a misguided attempt to balance Middle Eastern powers or manage the conflict during an election year.
Restoring Middle East Stability
- Crippling economic sanctions against the Iranian regime are essential.
- Prioritize terrorist targets and empower international diplomacy through a strong military presence.
