Find the enemy. Target, fire and obliterate. Allow merchant ships to be armed. It’s really this simple.

The Houthis have mismanaged the northern parts of Yemen. The Hamas attacks provide a tailor made opportunity to distract the population and get more Iranian support

Didn’t happen to the nation that trained Bin Laden in Islam they were too rich and important to the economy to be hurt.

Everybody from Trump to Biden to Netanyahu still wanting to cut a deal with them for the $$$$$.

I believe that Netanyahu wants peace with the Saudis and Egyptians because he wants peace of Israel. The Saudis understand the threat from Iran, and appreciate the value of Israel in defending them from Iran.

It’s comforting knowing that the United States has a strong and capable Commander in Chief.

2024 will become the year of the hostage. Even in our own streets. Don’t think BLM and ANTIFA don’t train like Hamas. Don’t think for one second the FBI isn’t providing the classes, command, and control.
