We should be taking out any/all Houthi military targets.
Somebody explain how our helicopter crews only took out 3 of the 4 attack boats?
(Hint: Somebody called off the pursuit.)
We should be hitting meaningful targets INSIDE Iran!
This crap about not wanting to expand the conflict is nonsense!
There are quite a few reasons for the U.S. to stand down, in fact. I'll list just a few:
1. These aren't U.S. ships being attacked.
2. These ships aren't owned by U.S. companies.
3. These ships aren't transporting cargo to or from U.S. ports.
4. The U.S. is one of the only countries in the world that has refused to ratify the current United Nations "open seas" treaty.
I put these four facts together, and I would conclude that the U.S. has no legal or diplomatic justification for dealing with any "active threats" to foreign civilian ships in the Red Sea.
I'll take it one step further and point out that these threads on FR are filled with the kind of globalist slop that is incompatible with any understanding of the U.S. as a free, independent and sovereign nation. It's disturbing to see so-called "conservatives" on this website who are perfectly fine with this scenario:
A. Chase many of our major manufacturing industries overseas.
B. Make large swaths of America destitute in the process.
C. Chase all our maritime shipping companies overseas, too.
D. So now we have U.S. taxpayers footing the bill for the U.S. Navy to protect Danish ships ... flying Panamanian or Liberian flags ... with crews of Filipino sailors ... delivering that cheap Chinese crap to your local Walmart and Dollar General stores.
You can’t possibly keep a straight face if you think this makes any sense at all.

It was a good will gesture, and for the rest, ask Biden to explain his warm hearted policy toward Iran and its proxies ...
100%
We know the launch point of every missile within minutes . . . within minutes there should be an outbound Tomahawk on the way to each missile launch point targeting ships in the Red Sea. Anything short of this is just “going along” with minimum resistance.
Dithering in response to Iran and Islamic thugs by not taking care of military business will one day lead to the launching of these type missiles nuclear tipped launched from a container ship off the American coast of a major American city.
