After delaying for as long as possible, Biden went ahead and finally approved strikes on Houthi targets over the Iranian-backed terror group’s attacks on container ships and US Navy vessels.
Biden’s statement took care to emphasize that these were “strikes against a number of targets in Yemen used by Houthi rebels to endanger freedom of navigation in one of the world’s most vital waterways.”
The statement describes them as “targeted strikes” that reportedly hit Houthi radar sites, weapons depots, production facilities and launch systems with the goal of preventing the Houthis from launching attacks on shipping.
This sounds sensible, but it’s also containment. And very temporary at that. Rather than trying to significantly cripple Houthi abilities, these attacks are geared to keeping the Houthis from attacking ships… right now. What happens later comes… later.
The Biden calculus is to do the bare minimum to stop the attacks for the moment.
Will that succeed? I suspect it won’t. Iran and the Houthis were prepared for attacks like these and their capacity will diminish but I suspect that there will be more attacks on shipping before long.
With master-level capabilities at sinking an economy, driving a wedge between Americans, wiping their butts with the Constitution and flooding the country with illegals, it should come as no surprise that the ONE thing the Biden administration would choose to half-ass is the RIGHT thing. Yes, the effects will be temporary…but after the last three years, I’ll take whatever momentary wins I can get for however briefly they last. The truly good news here is that precedent has now been set, insofar as engagement is concerned. Kinda hard to backtrack after hitting Houthi targets once.
The snake’s den is in Iran.
Americas worst and #1 Enemy is right here in America its the United Nations
The Saudi Royal Family and Egypt are right there on the Red Sea.
Why don’t they take care of the depraved psychopathic Islamic scum Houthis and crush them ?
I will tell you why.
Because they really are on the side of any depraved psychopathic murderous Islamic lunatic that makes trouble for the USA and Israel.
The Saudi Royal Family and Egypt are really enemies of America and Israel, and they should be treated as such.
Well, the Saudis were helping Yemen’s legitimate government against the Houthis, and we were helping the Saudis with intelligence, aerial refueling and weapons supply. But the Biden came in, ceased all that, dumped on the Saudis, and took the Houthis off the list of foreign terrorist organizations. Another stroke of genius from the pro-Iran Obama-Biden regime.
Yeah. We’ll hit some fake targets. You do the protests for the press to broadcast.
