Navies are too vunerable. What if they sent 400 drones all at once? Less that a million dollars, and some are bound to get through.
Exactly right.
“how about going after the launch centers? Depots?”
Exactly. Expend those $1 million to $4 million munitions on their bases.
“Navies are too vunerable.”
Navies have always been vulnerable. It’s a question of risk vs benefit. If the risk trumps the benefit, then the asset should be withdrawn.
The tots advising Maximum Tater are petrified that hitting Yemen itself will “inflame” the jihadis and broaden the war in Israel. Since the Houthis/Iranians are already firing missiles at our warships and international vessels, I’m not sure what the fear is, that they’ll try harder? We need to hit back at the source, not swat at flies until we lose personnel and major assets.
Did they say “Raytheon” or “Made in USA” on the side?
Houthis taking orders from Slo Joe more than likely
While anyone with a brain knows we eventually have to take out the launch sites/ships, in the meantime this is great experience for the sailors, pilots, etc. You can train, and train, and train. When you get to put your training in action with live enemy fire, well, those sailors manning the consoles, computers, instruments that make all of it possible will become instructors some day.
Sometimes it is said those who cannot do, teach. In this case, the doers become the best teachers.
I’d to think that powers that be are waiting for Israel to clean up Gaza before opening up other fronts. Israel will never be safe with the current regime in charge in Iran. It’s now or never, and Bibi knows that... but they aren’t going to outrun their coverage.
I don’t think so. I think it has to be something that can fight back.
I honestly don’t know but I think it would be interesting to find out.
Back when this country was run by racist white males we used extreme measures against pirates. We have become kindler and gentler.
“The fact that the Houthis are still firing such a large number of weapons over such a short period shows how little they are deterred from doing so and, with the help of Iran, appear well-supplied to sustain their anti-shipping campaign.”

Oh great a rag tag militia has shut down a major shipping lane and the US is appearing impotent when it comes to stopping them. I wonder how much this has cost us so far? Spain, Italy, and France have refused to be a part of “Prosperity Guardian” because they don’t want to be seen as being complicit in Israel’s war crimes by protecting their shipping. All because Netanyahu is refusing a ceasefire. It’s the tail wagging the dog at this point. The entire Global South now hates our guts and is aligning with Russia and China. Whatever benefit Israel might have been as an ally is over and our relationship with them has now become seriously deleterious to US interests. It’s time to tell them to do as we say or they can continue on their own without us.
Soon much of the oil producing nations in that region will abandon us and start cozying up to Russia and China. All this trouble because of our support of the arrogant and narcissistic Netanyahu who only cares about himself. His actions are leading Israel to destruction and we will follow right along in that direction if we don’t wake up.
“Whatever benefit Israel might have been as an ally is over and our relationship with them has now become seriously deleterious to US interests. It’s time to tell them to do as we say or they can continue on their own without us.”
Oh just stuff it.

Yes, I’d support attacking this problem even if it is Biden ordering it.
I’m getting sick of you Israel firsters. If this is an Israel first forum maybe I’m in the wrong place. I’ve been holding off registering on other forums because I already waste too much time on the internet as it is. But it’s getting to the point where I can no longer stomach the Israel firsters on here who seem to predominate.
“I’m getting sick of you Israel firsters.”
And I’m getting sick of you people supporting islamic savages.
“But it’s getting to the point where I can no longer stomach the Israel firsters on here who seem to predominate.”
You’re free to leave anytime you like.
You won’t be missed.

Between you and me, we need to go totally medieval on there ass.
5.56mm
Oh good grief, both of you grow up
I’m not supporting the Islamic terrorists I’m supporting the US and it’s interests which should take precedence over any other country. It is no longer in US interests to support Israel - simple as that. You people are traitors as far as I am concerned.
w00t... better than wasting $1MM missiles on them
