A drone fired by Yemen‘s Houthi rebels hit a commercial oil tanker in the Red Sea on Saturday, Pentagon officials said, while the Iran-backed group launched another four attack drones toward a U.S. warship in the region.
The attacks represent a direct challenge by the Iran-affiliated Houthis to the U.S., which recently launched an international task force to protect merchant ships in the increasingly dangerous waterways. The weekend brought fresh reminders of how serious the situation in the Red Sea has become.
In one incident, the Houthis fired four attack drones toward an American warship, the USS Laboon. The ship shot down the drones before they reached their target.

Has resident taterhead crapped his diaper yet?.......I mean more than usual

US Navy ordered to stand down in 3, 2, 1...
I hate these mfers who overthrew our government.
And the people running our Potatus in chief do nothing, on purpose. Thanks, Valjar, for nothing good. I guarantee Trump would take out Iran’s ability to pump, deliver and sell oil, along with any refining capacity for consumption. Hell, he might blockade them.
I wonder who supplied the drones? The list is long..Iran, Russia, CIA, Ukraine, Ukraine black market, china.........
Fire up the Big Bombers (B52s)!
Fire up the Big Bombers (B52s)!
klaxon, Klaxon, Klaxon!
NONE of this would be happening if Trump was still POTUS
The Houthis knows that Joe won’t strike back in Yemen. So they’re attacking all the ships in Yemen with impunity. Why not?
So, if muzzies spill oil in the name of defeating Israel and the West, do they lose the backing of the greenies?
oatmeal brain has got himself into a fine mess. Didn’t someone say never underestimate oatmeal brain’s ability to f things up?
Team Obama are Iranian sympathizers. Even Team Joe has AGENTS OF IRAN on their team.
Biden isn’t doing diddly because they want to give the Iranians more billions. Leftists get people killed.
And next, you mean we have people here who actually think the world matters and the US military should defend our interests?
And what happened to “Biden wants to launch WW3”?
Here’s reality: Europe, the Middle East and world trade are vital to us, and Biden is a pathetic weenie.
I think they are going to regret this even with Taterhead at the helm.

I wonder what pronouns the Houthi rebels use?
