U.S. hits back at the Houthies anti-ship missile attack: CENTCOM

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said the military conducted retaliatory, self-defense strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. The target was a Houthi anti-ship missile aimed into the Red Sea early Saturday morning. 

The U.S. strike was labeled "self-defense," but perhaps it's time for the world's most powerful military to put a stop to this Houthi bluster and end them once and for all. But Joe Biden is still President so we're going to have to wait.

"On Jan. 27 at approximately 3:45 a.m. (Sanaa time), U.S. Central Command Forces conducted a strike against a Houthi anti-ship missile aimed into the Red Sea and which was prepared to launch," CENTCOM said in a statement.

Some fought, some died, some were just on their way to the dentist

"U.S. Forces identified the missile in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, and determined it presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and the U.S. Navy ships in the region," the statement continued. "U.S. Forces subsequently struck and destroyed the missile in self-defense. This action will protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S. Navy vessels and merchant vessels."

Meanwhile the world blames Israel for their preemptive self-defense strikes against Iran for their genocidal ambitions. 

This latest U.S. effort comes after the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists fired an anti-ship ballistic missile from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and struck the Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker M/V Marlin Luanda at about 7:45 p.m. Friday night Sanaa time, CENTCOM said. The ship made a distress call and reported damage but no injuries were reported, this time.

The attack against the Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker is the 38th attack by the Houthis since November 19 and the second attack on Friday. 

Hey guys, it's time for the U.S. to get the party started. This cannot go on much longer before an American gets hurt or killed.

US Zoomies to conduct missile test as a 'bird flip' to N.Korea

As tensions rise and North Korean missiles fly then soon explode, the US Air Force (aka "Zoomies") readies to conduct another long-range missile test on Wednesday.

This test of a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) comes just one week after a similar test and on the heels of North Korea's flipping us off with a series of military ballistic tests that were as successful as a Hillary Clinton campaign strategy.

The missile, a Minuteman III that's to be launched Wednesday will be unarmed . . . at least that's what we're standing by.

Pentagon officials said this test had been "long planned" and thus has nothing to do with our macho posturing with Kim Jong Un and his patented haircut.

The same launch point and Pacific test range will be used, officials said, implying that the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California will be the launch site. Last week, a Minuteman III flew about 4,201 miles before splashing down in the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. (No animals were hurt in the testing of that product.)

If this doesn't get Kim to think twice before going all "Dirty Harry" on us, nothing will.

President Trump said of the Minuteman III: "It's a really tremendous missile, right folks?"
