Do we not have B-52s at Diego Garcia?

” if the Houthis and Iranians keep lobbing enough missiles and drones, they are going to hit a US or British ship soon, and sink it”

Some of these missile’s have gotten through to hit Container ships and they are still floating and under power. So I’m not sure if the payload they have is enough to destroy a US Ship.

Hitting them with a MOAB or three would not be expanding the skirmish - hitting the source would and a repeat of Operation Praying Mantis which destroyed/obliterated their navy would be in order.

A terrorist leader once said (paraphrased) “You all have to be right every time in defending yourselves but we only have to be right once to get through your defenses to get you.”

Perfect example. And I wonder if there are a few nukes on those ships.

We dare not retaliate lest we offend the tender sensibilities of the houthi’s supporters here on FR. Don’t you know they are a poor country, and there might be collateral damage among women and children?

Probably getting their stuff via the Chinese base in Djibouti, Somali pirates or Eritrea. As I recall, Iran smuggled Libyan missiles put of Libya during Hillary’s Big Benghazi Adventure through Eritrea to Gaza.

Our policy toward Iran should be the following:

If forces belonging to or supported by your country attack an American SHIP we will destroy an Iranian SEAPORT and all vessels found there.

If your forces or those supported by your country attack an American AIRCRAFT we will destroy an Iranian AIRPORT and all aircraft found there.

You have been warned. There will be no further warnings.

This reminds me of a quote from the outlaw Josey Wales.

“Granny Hawkins: I say that big talk’s worth doodly-squat.”

While I am convinced this is a European problem entirely, there has to be a price for firing on a US ship.

I recommend we blow up their HQ and withdraw.

The US has very little commerce through the Suez.

Biden and his puppet masters don’t have a clue about doing anything right. Everything liberals touch turns to crap. And I mean everything.

That was the IRA, referring to England / Margaret Thatcher

Will President Retard wave his arms around some more and threaten to do “something”?

My guess is a very stern letter is on the way.

The Muzzies killed 241 US Marines, sailors and soldiers in 1983. I do not remember Pres. Reagan exacting any horrific vengeance on the perpetrators. Ronald Reagan was the second finest POTUS of my lifetime,, ( Ike is first), but he had his failures. So I don’t expect a non sentient zombie in aviator glasses to do something Reagan didn’t.

I think Reagan realized that his mistake was getting involved in Lebanon in the first place.

If he wanted revenge, it could mean the deaths of 10,000 G.I. Joes.
