Another manufactured group of pi$$ants kicking our a$$es?

I have no words that haven’t been said before about this administration.

I’m embarrassed as hell for the navy.

Maybe a trans inclusion video and some sensitivity training would have made a difference to the military outcome.

The mighty U S Navy just as well pick up and go home before thousands are killed, as long as the CCP is calling the shots in the Biden administration.

When I fell asleep in that cave in 2020, President Trump and several leaders in the Middle East were signing the Abraham Accords. Now that I’ve waken up, I see that we’re being chased out of the region by some group called the Houthis. What changed?

“The Iranians have moved their intelligence ship, MV Behshad...”

---

The YouTube channel “What’s Going on with Shipping” has mentioned the presence of this vessel several times. When in the Red Sea she apparently gave the Houthis info on ships passing through. In the last few days she’s moved into the Gulf of Aden and now ships attempting passing north are being targeted.

Short of sinking her, would it be possible to disrupt her ability to communicate?

[EEGator]

Maybe that’s the plan. Get our guys killed, then beat the drums.

[Dagnabitt]

Article omits the successful drag-show pride event held aboard the USS Gravely.

Gary Busey?…

At some point, this ship needs to suffer an unfortunate accident.

The Germans laid mines in the approaches to the Red Sea in WW II. Not a lot, but a few. Post-war minesweeping was as thorough as can be but was not perfect.

[17th Miss Regt]

That may well be true.

[Candor7]

Well, demented Joe Biden needs to apply overwhelming force to all of the Houthi military locations and he needs to order the US Navy to blockade the ships supplying Ordnance from Iran, to the point of sinking them.Submarines can do that, He could mine Houthi ports.

And as for the Houthis.....let them have the full medicine of the USA Air Force, destroy their infrastructure completely:

BUt Demented JOe and his surrogates Susan Rice, Barrack Hussein Obama, do not want Victory....they wants continual stalemates so his donors can get huge weapons supply contracts for a long time.

[DesertRhino]

Too bad they’re gone. This would’ve been a beautiful mission for the USS Wisconsin or New Jersey.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

If the President orders the Navy to run away, like in Afghanistan, will they take their ships, or just leave them behind for the Houthis?

[moovova]

Nothing new...when will US naval officers be required to learn French?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

If Biden fights Texas the way he fights the Islamists, I like our chances.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

We have been and are being invaded and conquered on our Southern border, not in the Aden/Arabian Sea. We shouldn’t be there.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

Earlier in the week we had folks ragging on anyone who questioned the Jerusalem Post headline that US attacks on the Houthis showed the US and allies meant meant business, or something.

I said let’s see 6 weeks of no Houthi attacks to prove we meant business.

Where are all the “anti-isolationists” now?

I’m not an isolationist, but if we are not going to make it a deadly mistake to attack US interests, we probably are better off staying home. A reputation for weakness invites war.

[hardspunned]

God help us. We have an obsolete trillion dollar navy.

[hardspunned]

You would think the Navy could jam that ship easily enough.
