Britain and the US are poised to launch strikes against Houthi military targets in Yemen, as the leader of the rebel group promises to respond to any assault with fresh attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.
Western defence sources indicated preparations were intensifying on Thursday in response to a Houthi attack of 21 missiles and drones aimed at US and UK warships on Tuesday night, although its scale and timing remain secret.
Asked about potential US strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, the national security spokesperson, John Kirby, said: “I’m not going to telegraph our punches one way or another here. We’re gonna do what we have to do, to counter and defeat these threats that the Houthis keep throwing up on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.”
Lay waste
I would be very interested in the opinion of the person who disagreed with you. Are there people here who are pro Houthis blowing up and and hijacking civilian shipping?
Waaay too many, yes.
Yes. All the losers at .ml who take Houthi statements at face value. But if they had a clue they wouldn’t be tankies in the first place.
Yes, because this is an attempt to pressure the West into actually doing something about Gaza instead of defending them at the UN.
Loiter munitions. Have them hang out endlessly circling until those fuckers set something up, then BOOM!
No more assholes.
