Wasn’t it Muslims who attacked our merchants ships in the Mediterranean Sea that precipitated the Barbary Coast Wars? Where do Muslims get the idea that it’s o.k. for them to do such things?
Way back in my day, this was an act of war! Looks like a bunch of candy ***s run the world today!
‘President Trump designated the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists in January 2021, as one of his last acts in office...’*
‘...in February 2021, the Biden Administration removed
the Houthis from the U.S. list of officially designated
terrorists. With good intentions, the Administration
hoped this signal would encourage the Houthis to
reduce hostilities, enter into talks, and improve the
conditions for the Yemeni people...’**
‘...The Department of State today is announcing the designation of Ansarallah, commonly referred to as the Houthis, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist group, effective 30 days from today...’(01-17-24)***
NOW an FTO three FKN years after Trump had designated them as such.

“To the shores of Tripoli” in the Marine Corps hymn refers to the Barbary Coast wars

They make it look easy
I’m sure President Retard will bomb a tent and save the world

They’re lucky it wasn’t a carrier....
The aircraft carrier that was in the middle east LEFT. There’s another on the way over. So US has none in in the middle east at the moment. How stupid is that? Is Biden trying to please Iran and sh@t on Israel?

Submarine crews call carriers “targets.” That statement is more believable with FJB running things. Will they be proven right in the next few years?
Why is it that the Houthi’s are not being taken out?
(‘...in February 2021, the Biden Administration removed
the Houthis from the U.S. list of officially designated
terrorists. “)
That’s Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama sowing more chaos in the world through puppet Joe Biden
It’s one thing that Obama excels at ... Destroying
I think he acts like the son of THE Destroyer
So now we’re afraid of the Houthis?
Ever read the Koran?
Article I, Sect. 8 The Congress shall have power:…Houthis are using the old, pre-Barbary wars, rules. Why can't we? Congress CAN change Joe's rules and so should be asked for its thoughts. I don't think we need to declare war. Maybe Congress decides to do nothing. Little shipping is currently US flagged, but some is flagged in countries we are treaty bound to defend. However, it might be interesting to see what some motivated billionaires could do with US issued letters of marque and reprisal under looser rules of engagement. We never signed the European treaties prohibiting such letters. I'm not sure we're limited to issuing them to US Citizens.To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offences against the law of nations;
To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water;
Only because the the US administration does not want to defeat the Houthi, only pretend to do something because that is expected. The Democratic Party is de facto an ally of the Houthi, but cannot say so out loud.
If the the Houthis can read their Koran we can read our Constitution!
btt
Iran is providing weapons to terrorists, but the Iranian Revolutionary Guard are operating in Yemen also (and other countries). In fact sources in Yemen are saying the Iranians are actually firing some of the missles and operating some of the drones. The Biden Admin. knows this, but is pretending Iran isn’t directly involved.
