If someone is shooting at you, you don’t go to Congress to get permission to shoot back.
You, and Mr. Massie, are wrong.
BS!
See here:

Thanks again,
However, those type of youtube videos don’t do much for me.
A guy talks, tell you what supposedly happened, some cool military photography, weapons roll out, maps, computer drawings, etc.
.
The peeps defending Massie offer up the 3D chess BS they used to keep Sessions in there protecting the Dem’s illegal Ops to get Trump with false affidavits and dirty spies.
Massie wanted Biden protected and Spending at the highest levels so as to do the most damage.
It's a war on FREE TRADE/international shipping. And there's a long history of America helping to stop such attac ks in the past and/or closing down sea ways, such as the Suez Canal.
The attacks on the Houthis are de facto proxy actions against the Iranians and there is a decent chance that the Houthi strikes may bring the Iranians to the negotiating table to dismantle their nuclear program and avoid a US strike on Iran.
If it works and Iran comes to the table the Houthi strikes will be more than worth it. if we actually have to do a strike on Iran, the destruction of the Houthi missile infrastructure will limit the ability for Iran and the Houthis to retaliate and disrupt the region.
LOL!
The Houthis should be primarily Europe’s problem. Vance is right - we’re helping Europe here, while they berate us and tell us we’re abandoning them.
No, Trump isn't a "king"...HE'S P[RESIDENT OF THE U.S.A. Massie is but one teeny cog in a much LARGER wheel, with but one vote out of many, which he is wont to use AGAINST Trump/GOPers/America!
Exactly. Vance’s concerns would have been private had it not been for the leak.
ROFWL “Yemen is a very poor country & doesn’t deserve to be pummelled.”
They are so poor than can afford long range missiles that can reach, and have been launched exactly for that. They are so poor they have an army of drones they use to attacking shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, including American ships, dfor years now. They are so poor they can afford all that but not develop their own economy. They are not so poor, they just like to spend on war instead of improving themselves.
Interestingly, it seems that J.D. Vance agrees with him.
And ANYONE who doesn't understand this, shouldn't have an opinion. Massie is a RAT; so are those who support him.
Thomas Jefferson would have been impeached and removed from office if he used U.S. military forces to protect the commercial shipping interests of other nations.
It takes a special kind of retardation to really believe the U.S. taxpayer should be paying the cost of protecting cargo ships owned by foreign companies that go out of their way to register these ships outside the U.S. to avoid paying taxes here and meeting U.S. shipping regulations.
Idiot.
The responsibility of fighting piracy on the high seas has always fallen to the most powerful navy. For over a century, the Royal Navy took care of them. Now, it’s our turn.
WOW 🤯😳
Where does it say that?
If God supports Israel, I support Israel.
“Free Navigation of the seas has ALWAYS been a US interest. Just ask Thomas Jefferson.”
and James Madison BEFORE Thomas Jefferson as well ...
The UK was the world’s only superpower at towards the middle of the 19th century because its navy vanquished pretty much all the other naval powers, and since then has lost its world empire and its navy can now barely float an air craft carrier, while the soviet union can’t float even a single carrier ...
the U.S. entered the world stage because of it’s growing naval power starting under Madison and Jefferson, who both refused to kowtow to the Muslim Barbary pirates, and has remained a world naval power ever since, growing into the world’s most powerful navy ...
world commerce is still conducted on the oceans, and regardless of what flag of convenience a ship hoists and where it is going to or coming from, if such shipping affects the U.S., then the U.S. has an interest in seeing that such shipping proceeds unmolested ... period ...
