Houthis Say U.S. Will Pay ‘Heavy Price’ for Biden Strikes in Yemen
Breitbart ^ | 1-12-24 | FRANCES MARTEL

Posted on 01/12/2024 9:46:05 AM PST by dynachrome

The Shiite Houthi terrorist organization warned on Friday that American President Joe Biden will pay “a heavy price” for authorizing airstrikes alongside the United Kingdom against Houthi assets in Yemen.

The Pentagon and the British Ministry of Defense announced on Thursday that they had coordinated dozens of strikes against strategic Houthi targets intended to limit the terrorists’ ability to disrupt international shipping. The Houthis, who consider themselves the legitimate government of Yemen, declared war on the nation of Israel in October in support of fellow terrorist group Hamas’s invasion of the country on October 7, in which it engaged in a host of atrocities including infanticide, gang rape, torture, abduction, and the desecration of corpses. Hamas killed an estimated 1,200 people and reportedly keeps another 120 hostages in Gaza as of Thursday.

“We certainly can’t go on taking out $1000 drones with $1,000,000 missiles.”

Raytheon begs to differ.

Biden needs to hit significant targets without warning.

Maybe even within Iran.

Is there any indication that the ships are again routing via the Red Sea?

Any indication that the insurance companies will insure ships on that route?

Amazing, Houthis begged and begged to be attacked. And now they have been attacked. But now they say they will retaliate for being attacked? LOL, they want to be attacked again. These Islamic groups all must have a death wish, or the lowest IQ ever.

♦ YEMEN – As the U.S. and “coalition partners” begin military engagement against the Houthi rebels, no one in Western media will draw contrast to the State Dept earlier this year sending another $444 million via USAID (a CIA front group) to Yemen.  Factually, the U.S. has spent $5.4 billion, yes that’s with a “b”, in Yemen through the State Dept {link}.

We are now going to begin military operations against elements within Yemen as part of something called "Operation Prosperity Guardian", "...a new international effort deal with Houthi threats."

As this war front is initiated, ask yourself what we spent $5.4 billion to achieve in Yemen, if we are now forced to use the U.S. military.

Given the scale of dedicated U.S. naval and air military resources in the region, direct engagement with Yemeni “terrorists” was always certain.  This will expand the overall conflict zone and pull the U.S. into ancillary combat missions. 

Please pay no attention to the State Dept/CIA assets on the ground in Yemen who are likely coordinating the appearance of direct targeting from the “terrorists.” 

Yeah, we do that.

These US strikes will do nothing to stop the Houthies from attacking shipping. It’s a very expensive endeavor keeping our naval forces deployed over there. The Houthies will just keep lobbing their cheap missiles and drones until our defensive weaponry is depleted making us look rather impotent to stop them. It’s unlikely shipping will return to the Red Sea anytime soon so tell them to reroute their ships or tell Israel to accept a ceasefire.

Take Iran out of the ability to finance terrorist groups/make war anf you solve most of the problems in the Middle east. Like taking out their oil industry.

Both. They love death more than life, so let them have their second love - goats are the first.

They could buy a nuke or three from Iran or NK, hide them in cargo ships, sail into NY Harbor, Boston, Norfolk, San Francisco, LA, San Diego, etc. and do their suicide bombing. Who is watching shipping coming from that region of the world?

If we take out Iran’s oil industry they can block the Persian Gulf sending the oil price skyrocketing and causing a worldwide depression. Then they would retaliate by taking out Israel’s gas fields. Whatever we do it’s gonna be a mess which is why I say nip it in the bud before it starts. The last think the US needs is getting involved in another major war.
