U.S. and U.K. strike against Houthis

A new round of airstrikes were launched by the United States and Britain against the Iranian-backed Houthi scumcrumpets in Yemen. This comes in response to over 30 attacks the Houthis carried out against cargo ships near the Arabian Peninsula over the course of several months.

While it isn't known what support Canada, Bahrain, Denmark and Austria may have provided, these countries supported the latest effort.

The Pentagon stupidly described the strikes as “proportionate and necessary." While hitting back is necessary, the idea of proportionality is stupid because that does nothing to end the fighting. If you get punched in the mouth and you punch the other guy back in the mouth, it's unlikely the fight will have ended. But if you kick his butt, it's likely he will stop hitting you in the mouth. This garbage of proportionate responses makes no sense at all. The only people who call for this are those who want the aggressor to win, or for the fight to continue.

“These precision strikes are intended to disrupt and degrade the capabilities that the Houthis use to threaten global trade, and the lives of innocent mariners, and are in response to a series of illegal, dangerous, and destabilizing Houthi actions since previous coalition strikes on January 11 and 22, 2024, including the January 27 attack which struck and set ablaze the Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker M/V Marlin Luanda,” and blah, blah, blah, the statement said.

If we wanted to degrade the capabilities of the Houthis, we would destroy with shock and awe, and if a bunch of Houthis got their 72 virgins, that would lessen the number of terrorists trying to kill Americans.

The perfunctory strikes “specifically targeted sites associated with the Houthis’ deeply buried weapons storage facilities, missile systems and launchers, air defense systems, and radars.”

The impotent Biden administration said its sole goal was to “de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the Red Sea.” 

“Let us reiterate our warning to Houthi leadership: we will not hesitate to continue to defend lives and the free flow of commerce in one of the world’s most critical waterways in the face of continued threats,” the statement concluded.
