Jennifer Kavanagh, director of military analysis at Defense Priorities, a research institute that favors restraint in foreign policy, said Europe had, indeed, gotten a free ride on American military power.

“The United States shouldn’t be taking military action in the Red Sea — even if Europe continues to refrain from doing so,” she said.
