WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States and 12 allies issued what amounted to a final warning to Houthi rebels on Wednesday to cease their attacks on vessels in the Red Sea or face potential targeted military action.
The Yemen-based militants have carried out at least 23 attacks in response to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza since Dec. 19.
A senior Biden administration official declined to detail rules of possible engagement if the attacks continue, but underscored that the Iranian-backed Houthis should “not anticipate another warning” from the U.S. and its allies.
US once again threatening jihadis with a good time. Anyone else read the news story about how the Taliban fighters are all depressed to find themselves as civil servants? That’s how to deter people.
“Cease your attacks at once or we will put you all into office jobs”
Scares the beejesus out of me.

“And to the Houthi rebels, I have only this to say - ‘Hey Jack, if you don’t straighten up and fly right, my buddy Billy here is gonna go over there and teach everyone how to use Excel!’”

I absolutely love that article. You can just about imagine The Office in Taliban style.
I didn’t say jihad. I declared it
Ya no. That does not deter them. Just can carry out their human rights violations in the open now. Girls are again forced out of education and into marriage. Many raped. But ya this feels good opinion.
