I believe the Coast Guard should take its role as the primary federal agency responsible for maritime navigation safety seriously.
But when Putin attacked Crimea in 2014 under the Obama/Biden administration, I believe that was the last time that Putin or anybody else in the world gained an acre of land by aggression.
We do need to have debate to make sure that we don't do something that is going to harm women's rights.
Unfortunately, the Coast Guard is not only facing the acquisition bill for the OPC and new polar and Great Lakes icebreakers, but also a mounting maintenance and recapitalization bill.
