Let Saudi Arabia handle this — we don’t need to fight their wars for them. NEVER AGAIN!

[BenLurkin]

There can’t be that many people there. What would it take to kill them all?

CENTCOM chief: 'Vital US interests at stake' in Yemen

Was he able to say that with a straight face ?

[Dagnabitt]

Has Mattis issued a Fatwa that someone is “defaming Islam” in Yemen?

[x1stcav]

Bull Shit! It’s in the Saudi’s back yard. Let them deal with it.

[The Toll]

Vital?

There aren’t even any “passing” interests in Yemen. For America or anyone else.

[ZULU]

He is right.

If Russia/Iran control Yemen, they control Assad and are working on Iraq. That creates a pyramid of power around the Saudi and Gulf States oil reserves, plus giving them control of shipping into and out of the Red Sea and Arabian Sea.

[Sacajaweau]

Just another crummy muslim country. Go to work instead of warring. Lazy ba.......

The Houthis are allied with the Iranians, and are obviously working to have the Iranians encircle the Saudis and deny access to the Red Sea.

Those of you denying any vital interests here need to brush up on your geography.

[Bigg Red]

Amen

[GOPJ]

Was he able to say that with a straight face ?

Good question.

[Bigg Red]

Mind your language please; there are ladies present.

[Mariner]

There are no vital US interests in Yemen.

If fact, the US has no interests there whatsoever. None.

The good General should have been asked who told him to say that.

[Mariner]

“The Houthis are allied with the Iranians, and are obviously working to have the Iranians encircle the Saudis and deny access to the Red Sea.”

Even if this occurred, there would be NO US interest at stake.

And I’m quite well versed in geography.

[Vehmgericht]

Yes Yemen is essential as is Djibouti. And as everyone knows the road to Djibouti goes through Ethiopia and Somalia. If the Sudan falls it will put Ethiopia in jeapordy. Which leads us to the linchpin of Chad. We all know how important strategically placed Chad is. If Chad goes there goes Niger along with Mali. This is a crisis and I would be glad to provide pierrem15 with a weapon and a plane ticket so he can straighten this out. Good luck.

Well there is the entrance to the Red Sea, but that is only a small portion of Yemen which we could maintain with air and sea cover. No need to get into a religious civil war on the larger land mass.

[Hat-Trick]

The globalist and Soros puppet Juan “Songbird” McCain certainly agrees, and can’t wait to send our sons and daughters to shed more of their blood for these vital interests.

Suez Canal...... American Trade
