John Kennedy Blasts China As Chief Reptile Blocking Strait Of Hormuz Fix

John Kennedy (R-LA) argued that China could quickly resolve the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz but is deliberately refusing to act, leaving the United States to decide whether to withdraw after meeting its objectives and let China and Russia and North Korea and Europe and all of the other countries that refuse to help face the consequences.

Speaking on Fox News Channels Will Cain Show, Kennedy framed Iran and its allies as a hostile bloc undermining American interests and global stability, a concern long raised by conservatives wary of authoritarian regimes and their growing influence, according to Breitbart. He began by saying, I think that the people running Iran are reptiles, and theyre part of a colony of reptiles, China, North Korea, Russia, and as I said Iran. The chief reptile, the quarterback, is President Xi in China. You cant trust any of them. All four of them are the same.

Kennedy maintained that U.S. military objectives against Iran have largely been fulfilled and that American power has significantly degraded Tehrans capabilities. The truth is, Will, in my judgment, we have accomplished all of our goals. Weve also knocked out their air defenses. And our intelligence is so good that we will know, within minutes, if Iran starts its nuclear program again, and we can bomb it again. They have no nuclear weapons program, he said, underscoring the deterrent value of U.S. strength.

He warned that the remaining flashpoint is the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for global energy markets, and accused Beijing of exploiting the situation for strategic gain. The only problem in all of this is the Strait of Hormuz. China could open it tomorrow if it told Iran to. China is choosing not to. And, at some point, the presidents going to have to decide whether, having achieved all of our objectives, its time to come home and let China and Russia and North Korea and Europe and all of the other countries that refuse to help take a crack at it because theyre going to pay the price of a closed strait even more than America.
