This is important. I’m sure Biden is staying in constant contact with SecDef Lloyd Austin.

Would it not be more logical to take out the ability to launch these attacks from Yemen itself as well as blockade Iran from supplying the materiel launched? Are the politics THAT difficult or is there no will to do it from feckless Obama (biden) administration?

Hey! Why not return fire? I mean, if gangstas are constantly firing into my domicile is it sufficient to stick out my tongue and say, “Ha! You missed!”

Sayyyyy... are those sly rascals launching from hospitals and kindergartens again? Shame on them...

I think the overwhelming choice is feckless

Probably using the same tactics like hamas and others (particularly in the middle east) have used. Launch your attacks from an area with lots of civilians, most preferably hospitals and schools in the near vicinity. If you retaliate, the MSM around the world are perfectly happy to jump on board with calling your military lots of mean names.

“Would it not be more logical to take out the ability to launch these attacks”

Not for our new illustrious woke military......after all.....the E in DEI stands for equity......God forbid our side should actually have the advantage.

We serm to be being bled dry of the ammo and other weapons needed to respond to a near future attack upon us or more vital interests by what we are giving Ukraine. Giving Israel, and shooting off against these Houthi (Iranian) drones and missiles.
Won’t that leave the US and Brits with little besides various size nukes and armour/artillery to use if China goes after Taiwan, etc?

When do we start “reducing the threat” in Yemen?

How can’t we, within minutes, not identify launch points in Yemen and take them out?

British spelling. Headline must be from a source that uses their spelling. (Could be India for example).

"U.S. and British warships and aircraft shot down “the largest attack from the Iranian-backed Houthis in the Red Sea to date” overnight, taking down every drone, cruise missile, and ballistic missile, preventing damage to warships and merchant shipping."

I don't understand why the Mullahs of Iran keep backing so many losers. May be a strategic head-fake while they continue their nuke ambitions. Anyone have a more informed reason for Iran working with both Shia and Sunni muslims, which are supposedly historical enemies.

Wait for a lucky hit that sinks a US or UK Warship. The enemy only needs to get lucky once. Then its send in the Marines and a D-Day like landing in Arabia that will look like Perishing’s invasion of Mexico in 1914—seeking, but not finding, Poncho Villa. Then its all going to be “support the troops” vote Biden!
