Rigged elections and failed proxy wars being fought to enrich our elite and the WEF have severe consequences on national security.

Oh, I think the Obama/Biden/AWOL Austin brain-trust is too clever for that...

WWIII would help the economic and demographic issues…

Maybe we’ll have another Summer of Love.

Nonsense. Yemen is exactly where our leaders want us to be. It’s pretty much unwinnable, guaranteed to run as long as wanted/needed and in an actual “strategic” location. The only losses will come from the occasional missile strike on naval vessels and the special forces missions sent in to get those pesky insurgents.

Really a very nice “forever war” that will keep military budget dollars flowing for years or maybe even decades.

Neither the US nor the British ships can be reprovisioned at sea, so they have a limited ability to “stay in the fight” if it continues for any length of time.

So what do all those US Navy supply ships actually do? Please explain this mystery.

Russia misinformation and propaganda piece.

End ww3 now

The Iranian missiles could be used by Iranian proxies to shut down the oil exports of Gulf Arabic countries like Saudi Arabia.

The Iranian-Yemeni proxy problem has to be dealt with.

Policing won’t end crime in American cities, but the police still hunt down criminals every day.

“In the 1970s the U.S. Navy had ship tenders that could pull alongside a destroyer and resupply it. Not today. The Vertical Launch Systems have to be reloaded in a port. That means the destroyers will have to sail to Dubai, which means the U.S. aircraft carrier they are accompanying will have to follow because it relies on them for protection from ballistic and cruise missiles.”

So what genius civilian-military ops planners envisioned this scenario as the war of the future?

[PGR88]

Regardless of whether one supports it or not, its yet another game of “whack-a-mole” which is draining resources, dividing the nation, and making the USA look foolish

In normal countries, one should rely on “leaders” to be wise and avoid engaging the USA in useless, expensive and divisive engagements.

So who benefits?

In the words of Julian Assange: “the goal is an endless war, not a successful war”

Drivelous neo isolationist clap trap

Sonar 21 & Larry Johnson = RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA

* IGNORE *

[freeandfreezing]

"The United States does not have enough bombs to force Yemen to surrender."

More nonsense from Sonar21's propagandists. There is no need to force the Houthis to surrender, and the USA has plenty of bombs to rain down on them as needed.

As usual, Larry Johnson living in clown world, trying to describe ships capable of carrying over a hundred missiles instead of a handful as some kind of disadvantage. The beauty of the Arleigh Burke and Ticonderoga class VLS systems is that you carry far more missiles than any previous class of ship. The Spruance class Destroyers the Arleigh Burkes replaced had just an 8 cell Sea Sparrow launcher. The Cruisers the Tico replaced had either 1 or 2 twin terrier launchers. VLS was the answer to the Soviet strategy of "saturation doctrine", where they thought they could launch 6 to 10 ASCMs at a US ship at the same time, overwhelming defenses. In no way is a 122 (!) cell VLS system a disadvantage. Not only that, but these ships can pull into Djibouti, Amman, Dubai, Rota or any secure friendly port to reload and be back on scene quickly. And no, the CVN would not have to leave, as there the Navy just rotates ships into the CVN defense/Plane Watch duties when the current ship has other tasking.

Essentially, all modern navies have gone to VLS, and with the size of long range air defense missiles, no one is reloading them at sea. We do still reload our smaller non-VLS systems underway.

U.S. IS PAINTING ITSELF INTO A CORNER everywhere

[montag813]

The biggest problem is our silly reticence to kill humans and “civilians.” We should be using napalm, white phosphorus, depleted uranium on Houthis whenever they gather together such as these silly Soviet-style parades they have had lately. We should unleash the Saudis to do far worse on the ground. Mass causality events. We should be sinking an Iranian ship every time Yemen launches an attack on anything. At sea, in port, all fair game. Run out of ships? Take out the Mullahs or presidential Palace in Tehran. The West is so meek. It was not always so.
