The US is bolstering its presence in the Gulf waters, with US Central Command announcing on July 20 that an amphibious ready group, along with some 3,000 sailors and Marines were being deployed in the region.
An Aug. 11 report from USNI stated that some 100 Marines of the 26th Marines Expeditionary Unit have been trained and are ready in Bahrain to provide armed security on board merchant ships crossing the Hormuz Strait.
This would reportedly put small groups of armed American forces onto foreign-flagged ships, in order to discourage Iranian attacks.
So the US taxpayers are paying for protecting oil shipments going to various countries with readiness to start a war in the Middle East. On the other hand, this administration blocks the Russian energy from flowing to Europe. So what is it that the West want? Cheap Fossil fuel with raging War in the Ukraine and may be someplace else?
Just a thought.
