An American warship and multiple commercial ships came under attack Sunday in the Red Sea, the Pentagon said, potentially marking a major escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Mideast linked to the Israel-Hamas war.

“We’re aware of reports regarding attacks on the USS Carney and commercial vessels in the Red Sea and will provide information as it becomes available,” the Pentagon said.

The British military earlier said there had been a suspected drone attack and explosions in the Red Sea, without elaborating.

Well McGuff...we do know there was an extraordinary ‘joint Islamic-Arab’ summit Nov. 11th in Riyadh where Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other Muslim countries called for an immediate end to Israels military operations in Gaza and further collectively rejected Israel's justification of its actions against Hamas as self-defence.

I have no doubt with all their heavy hitters attending that Summit they weren't together just to make a political statement....even Irans Pres.Raisi, Turkish Pres. Erdogan, Qatar's Emir Al Thani and Syrian Pres. Assad were there. Most who have stated prior this war could lead to further Middle Eastern involvement......

...Soooo here we are with our ships being attacked in the Red Sea...after numerous attacks throughout Syria , Iraq on our bases....and Hezbollah further attacking Israels Northern Border.....Sounds an looks like they intend to escalate this war - and are.

Find the enemy. Target, fire and obliterate.

The USS Carney is more than capable of that.

Well when I see and hear our native Indians on stage in Dubi for a protest against Israel/ supporting Hamas it's fair to say all the Indigenous folks are joining up.

Yep. Not only involved, but being recruited by the feds. The "people's army" Obama would frequently talk about getting in place.

The enemy of the left is the "Deplorables " Words have meaning. The left runs our institutions of government. The government is really just serving their own interests in creating lies, chaos, mayhem. Just watch a senate panel ask a simple question of a cabinet member.......nothing but non answer word salad is the response and nobody is accountable for that. Promises of non prosecution among the leftists serving the deep state have been given as part of their war on Trump.

“nothing but non answer word salad is the response and nobody is accountable for that.”

*************

There’s zero accountability for anything in DC, and that’s exactly how they want it. The dysfunction and corruption works for THEM. Not so much for US.

“after numerous attacks throughout Syria”

***********

This puts us in the awkward position of reacting to attacks and defending ourselves inside a country that doesn’t want us to be there. It would be ironic if the seeds of WWIII were planted in Syria.

It sure seems like the government only tells us what they want us to know and when they want us to know it.

Iran has been firing at US bases in Syria and Iraq....what’s the difference of firing at a US Naval vessel and commercial vessels? It’s all points to Iran and Biden won’t do squat.

Well Star, we do know Damascus is spoken of prophetically....but we also know though things have escalated God can slow it down or stop it entirely....I say ..let His will an timing be done! Sooner or later his Word always rings true.

Well there's very little accountability in any area of our country right now. ...the beginnings of lawlessness continue to mount with some frequency.....and fair saying all eyes are once again on Israel and the Middle East... As for Trump....I don't concren myself with the lefts actions against him...though complely unfair and nonsense he will go as far as the God of this world allows regardless of those who want to stop him.
