Houthi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said Monday night: “The Yemeni armed forces consider all American and British ships and warships participating in the aggression against our country as hostile targets”. The missile came from near Hodeidah, a Red Sea port city long held by the Houthis, the US said.

You may have wondered what the money on the pallets full of cash the rats gave to Iran was spent on.

One wonders if the Obama coterie -- of which Biden is merely the "beard" -- will declare this coming conflict the war we can win.

He said that of Afghanistan, one recalls.

A tally: strikes against Iraqi bad guys who strike us all the while Iraq asks us to leave, strikes against Syrian bad guys who strike us all the while Syria asks us to leave, and "friendly" Saudi Arabia and other "friendly" nations are joining BRICS to leave the dollar SWIFT system for some trade.

The Obama-Biden third term is not working out as "peace in our time" stuff. That "build back better" mantra is nowhere to be found these days. But what the heck?

This is what happens when the United States President is a shickenchit, demented old pedophile that nobody respects or is afraid of. The whole world is laughing at US right now. We’re sitting on our asses letting our country be flooded with everybody else’s sewage.

Open Seas giving global trade was a result of US power.
(see P. Zeihan)
We showed the world one way to do things, but half the world would rather live in the 5th century.

So now let the phookin animals fend for themselves.

Not our war.
Not My Kids.
Not Yours.
Not One US Dime.

We have all the Petro we need right here.

WWTD (What Would Trump Do)? Shock and Awe. Everyone knows it.

WWBD (What Will Bide Do)? Maybe send a “warning” or blow up some empty tents and buildings after “fair” notice.

The Iranian General operating in Yemen today was involved in a plot to blow up the Cafe Milano restaurant in Washington DC. Also involved was the Iranian Rev Guard General that Trump took out on the tarmac of an Iraqi airstrip, Gen. Soleimani.
Not sure how many people would have been killed if Iran had succeeded in blowing up that restaurant but most of them would have been Americans just going about their business that day in 2011.

Do not blame Biden for any of this. Biden is a senile old crook who does what other people tell him to do.

Blame his handlers and the shadow people who give them the directions. They are the ones calling the shots. And they want to take down the United States into defeat and submission. All of the stupid things they have us keep doing are intentional.

“...took out on the tarmac of an Iraqi airstrip”

Not to nit-pick but Soleimani was taken out along the road leading away from (military) BIAP. Bit of poetic justice in the location. Iraqi insurgents used to dig a hole thru the wall along the road from mil BIAP to bury IEDs they’d trigger against coalition forces as they were coming from the airfield. So he got blown up along the route of his own handiwork. Justice served, not lost on those of us familiar with OIF.

Yah, so the land on which you stand is now a target.

Oh, and there will not be a roof knocking small bomb like the IDF uses in Gaza.

The ship was carrying steel, not oil.

Does the US have freedom of navigation through the Red Sea or not?

What will you give the Houthis in tribute to secure the safe passage of our ships?

Steel not Oil.

Yes, but the Middle East is all about Oil.
The Straights into the Red Sea are about GLOBAL Trade.
And do any of our “Allies” give a phook/dollar/yuan/or life to do anything about keeping it all safe?
No

We really don’t need anything from that side of the world.
We can make, get, or create all we need here, with some substitutions. Suez was built for EUROPE not America.
It’s like NATO, served it’s purpose, time to turn off the blood and treasure spigots.

4 shiiitehole countries pinch that arsehole: Yemen, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Somalia.
Stop all traffic through the Red Sea and let it rot.

Phook ‘em all.

US, Canada, and Mexico will do plenty without them.
