White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Monday said the U.S. is consulting with allies on "appropriate action" in response to the latest Houthi drone and missile attacks in the Red Sea.
"We have made clear that the entire world needs to step up together, not the U.S. alone, but all of us working together to deal with this emerging challenge that the Houthis present, backed by Iran. We're going to take appropriate action in consultation with others and we will do so at a time and place of our choosing."
...
At the White House, ABC Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce pressed Sullivan on U.S. retaliatory efforts not having been effective so far given how the Houthis continue to fire off missiles and drones at commercial shipping in the Red Sea, forcing U.S. ships in the area to respond.
He defended "steps" the administration has taken but acknowledged there continues to be what he called "very alarming behavior."

Like we took 'appropriate action' in response to the Somali Pirates, or like Thomas Jefferson took 'appropriate action' in response to the Barbary Pirates of Ottoman North Africa.
Biden admin is preparing a strongly worded written reprimand.
All of the acts of aggression and muzzie immigration all under and courted by dems with rinos gathering checks from all the big weapons manufacturers. Top it off with a constant push for a vaccine that is highly questionable...and thats just the tip of the iceberg.
The proper response to the Houthi missiles is to strap Jake the Moron Sullivan to an appropriately sized missile and fire the missile targeted at whoever fired it at our ship. Obliterate them.
“Biden admin is preparing a strongly worded written reprimand.”
And $60 Billion in aid.
How about just laying napslm over Houthi areas or maybe going ArcLite.? That would work.
Excellent rundown of the sequence of events on Sunday, with many underlying details:

Nonsense. That’s the busiest shipping corridor on the planet.
Many economies depend on it mightily.
On February 12 , 2021 , the Biden regime removed the designation of the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
We’re going to war. Not enough money has been laundered. They’ve got to get while the getting is good.
They better behave or we won’t keep importing their immigrant terrorists.
Following International law we must evacuate all the innocent civilians from the area first.
When pushed around by some bully, “thinking” about it is code for “I surrender”...
My God what weakness! Even the lowly Houthi tribe can have their way with the US! Now we have to build a global concensus and approval. What a joke!
If they’ve waited and watched this long it’s too late.
We probably need to lose a ship or two or maybe two dozen sailors aboard same to go beyond “considering”.
