Can’t allow Houthi pirates to abduct hostages at sea.

What is this "self-defense" garbage? The Houthis are engaged in acts of war, extortion, and piracy. Their boats should be sunk whenever they are sighted, and any survivors should be hanged for piracy. But there should rarely be any Houthi survivors from those encounters.

No need for any apologies.

Military / Strategic Activity / Deployments –

The USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group will leave the eastern Mediterranean Sea, where it was sent just after the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October, in the “coming days,” two U.S. officials tell ABC News

OBSERVATION - This is just asking for trouble. Yes, the Ford’s deployment has been extended - once. But this will leave only one carrier on station that could affect action in the Israel (Eisenhower and the Bataan ARG) - Iran developing theatre. There are no replacement flattops headed to the Med at this time. This move could encourage Hezbollah / Iran to strike Israel.
