Good for Mr. Massie I agree with him of course

[nopardons]

Of course you do; he’s NEVER right and lately, you aren’t either.

[RandFan]

Yemen is a very poor country & doesn’t deserve to be pummelled.

It makes the terrorists stronger.

Please stop and pray for peace.

[NoLibZone]

Yeah, he has no issues with American ships being targeted.

He is David Duke 2.0

[Vermont Lt]

Free Navigation of the seas has ALWAYS been a US interest. Just ask Thomas Jefferson.

[packagingguy]

I think the Houthis have on quite a number of occasions attacked US Naval ships.

Plus they have interfered with international shipping.

Someone had to stop them, especially if no American sailors are hurt doing so.

[OakOak]

Massie is Pro Joe Biden.

When Joe wanted to money for Woke shit, Massie was there for him.

Find some Op Cross Fire Hurricane quotes where Massie criticized the law
Lawlessness targeting Trump.

Find a quote where he criticized the Raid on Mar-a-Lago

MASSIE interview: Houthi strikes 'not America First'

Sure. Let the Houthi's attack our commercial ships.

Unbelievable.

[Skwor]

Massie is giving Benidict Arnold a good name.

He also doesn't have any concern about shutting down one of the world's most important navigable waterways. They are essentially pirates shutting down the Red Sea to global shipping which has HUGE economic costs.

Since late 2023, the Houthis have launched over 100 attacks on commercial vessels, sinking two ships, seizing one, and killing at least four crew members. This has effectively choked off the Red Sea-Suez Canal route, which normally handles about 12% of global trade, 30% of container shipping, and 10-12% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas shipments. With major shipping companies like Maersk, MSC, and Hapag-Lloyd rerouting around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope, the detour adds 3,500-4,000 nautical miles and 10-14 days to each trip. That’s a logistical nightmare.

Estimates are the Houthis are causing $200 MILLION PER DAY in increased shipping costs to avoid the Red Sea. Hundreds of billions in trade value are at stake annually.

This obviously contributes to inflation.

War hasn’t been declared so congress is irrelevant. Dropping bombs on useless Muslim scum is more in line with a training exercise so let them have at it.

[desertsolitaire]

You’re not wrong on points 1 and 3.
Remains to be seen on point 2.
I’m sure the Houthis who run and use Yemen with impunity are counting on being protected by Western weakness about striking them and hurting the rest of the country too.
Fortunes of war, sucks to be Yemeniis?

[unclebankster]

Vance and Massie are right in this instance.

Also, Waltz needs to be watched like a hawk.(No pun intended)

[plain talk]

Whether the strikes are immediate or later on — that is up to Trump and will likely be made at a time of his choosing.

[HYPOCRACY]

Since when is Massie the arbiter of what America First is? Massie is Massie first. Loudmouth do shit.

[antidemoncrat]

“Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY)” aka Rep. Thomas Massivemouth (R-KY)

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Massie rhymes with Cassidy.

[Robe]

This was in response to the first missile attack on a MANNED F-16. Not one but 3 SA-6’s. The pilot had 18 seconds to evade , tell me again about no troops being in danger.
if it wasn’t for superior countermeasures , we be burying a US Air Force Pilot.

[unclebankster]

Sure. Let the Houthi’s attack our commercial ships.

Unbelievable.

***********

Is that what happened?

If so, a response is warranted.
