Arrr, European swabs be as silent as the depths o' Davy Jones' locker after Defense Captain Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance be lettin' loose their "loathin'" mutterin's in a sneaky scroll! Aye, even the seagulls be holdin' their beaks!

Arrr, matey! Gather 'round fer a tale from the high seas of politics! A wee bit o' chatter set the European leaders’ tongues a-tied this Tuesday, as Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance be swappin’ words o’ their deep disdain fer the European lot, callin’ 'em free-loaders! Aye, Hegseth declared, “It’s PATHETIC!” when Vance pondered why the Yanks be pickin’ up the slack against them scallywags known as the Houthis, who've been harassin’ merchant ships like a barnacle on a ship’s hull.

Vance, breakin’ from the Trump crew, pointed out that while only 3 percent of U.S. trade sails through the Suez Canal, a whopping 40 percent of European trade be dependin’ on it! The Europeans, bless their hearts, stayed quieter than a ghost ship, reckonin’ it wise to keep their mouths shut lest they stir the pot o’ burden-sharing and look like landlubbers in the process.

One clever soul, Alan Mendoza, remarked that Europe be leanin’ on the U.S. like a drunken sailor, unable to tackle the Houthi rascals alone. So while the Yanks be talkin' tough, it seems the Europeans be noddin' along, hopin' the storm blows over without any cannon fire.

And so the saga continues, with the European sea dogs watchin’ closely as the Yanks decide whether to hoist the sails or keep the treasure for themselves! Arrr!
