The United States military says its forces launched strikes on 14 Houthi missiles “that were loaded to be fired” from Yemen in the fourth day of direct attacks on the Iran-aligned group in less than a week.
The missiles posed a threat to commercial ships and US Navy vessels in the region, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Wednesday.
“We will not give up targeting Israeli ships or ships heading towards ports in occupied Palestine … in support of the Palestinian people,” the group’s spokesperson, Mohammed Abdelsalam, told Al Jazeera on Thursday.
“These missiles on launch rails … could have been fired at any time, prompting U.S. forces to exercise their inherent right and obligation to defend themselves,” CENTCOM said on X.
The strikes are meant to degrade the Houthis’ “capabilities to continue their reckless attacks on international and commercial shipping in the Red Sea, the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden”, it added.

WW3 is inching closer! We need Trump back in the White House!
Houthis aren't starting WW3. Give me a break.

America is starting WWIII by intervening across the world...
There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places and terrible events and great signs from heaven.
The pale horse came out; and the spirit that rides on him is called Death;
The 4 spirits of the Euphrates River were also released to kill all humanity.

If you're going to talk about Revelation's "wars and rumours of wars" then I want to tell you that wars and rumours of wars are relatively mild in the present age – ever since the collapse of the Roman Empire we've had wars WAY worse than this. Look at the period 1861 – 1989 : we had the War of Southern Independence, the Plains Indians Wars, the Spanish-American War, the Russo-Japenese War, the Zulu Wars, World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Grenada War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the list goes on. In the per… Read more

One interesting point to consider is the concept of 'The Long Peace', a term coined by John Gaddis. It's the idea that since the end of World War II, the great powers of the world have not gone to war with each other - a historically unusual period of peace. This adds an interesting layer to your argument about the relative mildness of modern wars. We have indeed lived through an abnormally peaceful era, at least when considering major power conflict.
Of course, this doesn't mean that conflicts have ceased entirely or that they've become less devastating for those… Read more

America has no role, or, as some have the temerity to claim, "moral duty" to be an international busybody policing every conflict, famine, and natural disaster the world faces. To the contrary, it has a "moral duty" both to respect the independence of other nations by abstaining from involving itself in their conflicts, as well as a moral duty to zealously defend its own independence by not joining globalists programs, for the benefit of its own citizens. I believe in a Washingtonian foreign policy of "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entanglin… Read more

The US is providing bombs for Israel’s genocide. The Houthis who fought against evil Saudi Arabia for a decade is imposing sanctions on Israel, preventing ships to reach it until Israel stops its genocide. Biden is a genocidal lunatic. Stop the genocide!

(Then don't vote for him and encourage all liberals not to vote for him too! Be my guest :)
@Mandat3WeaverGreen4mos4MO
Voting for RFK Jr, who are you voting for?
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
I'm voting Trump if he's the nominee, DeSantis if he's the nominee, and Constitution Party if Haley, the warmongering neocon, is the GOP nominee.
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
I’m voting for the safe option, RFK has little chance of winning, and I’m more keen on avoiding the other possible nominee in the Republican Party.
@9J6SJPP4mos4MO
The US should not engage in war unless declared by Congress
@9J7NLNKIndependent4mos4MO
i think its crazy how we focus on other country matters than ours
@9J6R2WHRepublican4mos4MO
the Houthi's attacked so we are just striking back
@9J6SFSM4mos4MO
I believe it to be a good thing.
@9J6LS834mos4MO
The US needs to be very careful how invoved they are getting with this. Helping out is fine but dont get over involved
@9J6SF43Republican4mos4MO
I think that the US got to stop because yemen wasn't aiming to them they was aiming on isreal
@9J6KQVH 4mos4MO
The US should be held accountable for its violent actions against countries in the Middle East.
@WholesomeM1norityRepublican4mos4MO
Sailing and striking. The navy's not messing around with those militants!
@9J6VPKH4mos4MO
Why should we care about foreign affairs if it doesn't negatively effect us
@9J6MMYM4mos4MO
I don't have enough knowlege of it.
@9J6JN2YWorking Family4mos4MO
We need to stop dabbling in foreign affairs and restore our country.
@9J6RGCHLibertarian4mos4MO
Houthi is being mixed up with Yemen, and these strikes are not against Yemen itsself, but Houthi military installments. More education is needed for people siding with Houthi.
@9J6MGHN4mos4MO
The US needs to focus on bigger issues in its own country instead of being in other's country's business and bombing innocents unless it's to defend itself. Washington's teachings of staying neutral should be implied again which the US fails to do continuously.
@9J6RNY74mos4MO
It's hard to justify attacking a country due to the actions of a terrorist group, but I do believe we have to do something about them attacking innocent people.
