Robert Wilkie joined Newsmax to discuss the weaponization of justice.

Former Undersecretary of Defense Robert Wilkie recently appeared on Newsmax to discuss the weaponization of justice and the Biden administration's handling of international threats. Wilkie criticized the administration's approach to dealing with the Houthis, an Iranian-backed militia that has significantly disrupted global shipping lanes.

Wilkie emphasized that the Biden administration's response has been inadequate, resorting to "pinprick attacks" rather than a sustained military campaign. He pointed out that the administration's hesitation to take decisive action stems from a fear of escalating conflicts, which leaves vital shipping lanes vulnerable to continued disruption by the Houthis.

Drawing a comparison to the Trump administration, Wilkie argued that a more robust response would have been implemented, focusing on a sustained air campaign to dismantle the Houthis' capabilities and target the Iranian terror network. He stressed the importance of protecting international commerce, a principle rooted in American foreign policy since Thomas Jefferson's time.

Wilkie also noted that the current administration's policy reflects a continuation of the Obama-era approach, which he described as "faculty lounge lunacy." This approach, according to Wilkie, fails to address the real dangers posed by theocratic regimes and terrorist organizations, thus putting America's national interests at risk.

In conclusion, Wilkie called for a more assertive strategy to combat these threats, emphasizing the need for stronger leadership and coordinated international efforts to ensure the security of global shipping lanes and national interests.
