A U.S. fighter jet shot down anti-ship cruise missile fired toward an American destroyer by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea Sunday, their first response to a series of drone strikes fired by the Americans in recent days.
The United States and its allies began strikes Friday on the rebels following weeks of assaults on shipping in the Red Sea.
The Houthis have targeted that crucial corridor linking Asian and Mideast energy and cargo shipments to the Suez Canal onward to Europe over the Israel-Hamas war, attacks that threaten to widen that conflict into a regional conflagration.

Nice job, Xi, you managed to get us into yet another limited war half cocked. So, let the military show you how it's done and get out of the way.
We haven't played Cowboys and Muslims ...yet.

Uh oh, the Democrats are cooking up another of their "failed foreign policy disasters," which seems to always result in "atonement by migration" within the U.S. as the only "long-term solution." Planeloads of Yemenis will be landing at JFK, Atlanta, and Dulles, pretty soon, I bet.
This all started with the Bay of Pigs disaster in Cuba, followed by failures in Vietnam and Cambodia. Jimmy Carter revised the Cuban flotilla, costing him re-election. Then it was "zipper" Clinton taking in muslims from Somalia and Serbia-Bosnia. Then came Obama, swinging open the door to any "person of color" capable of registering numbers on a thermometer hailing from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Libya, Iraq, Chad, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Congo, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, etc. Enter the dumbest man in the Senate/White-less House, Joe Biden, importing ALL of Latin America, by means of his Cuban stooge, Alejandro Mayorkas. So now, the "migrants" are running the "import factory" of the U.S. Government. What could possibly go wrong?! /s
"Atonement by Migration," coming to a town near you.

How can they tell if hitting back or just continuing?

Where are these former terrorists getting these sophisticated weapons? Could it be from that new Taliban supply house in Afghanistan? Our foreign policy is in shambles! But the NWO guys in Davos will figure all of this stuff out!

Maybe we should level Yemen and make it into a parking lot for the first Yemeni Wal-Mart.

Where does a backward country like Yemen find these Cruise Missiles and drones they are firing at ship in the red Sea.
IMO there is no way they produce them themselves, they come from foreign purchases or they are donated by a foreign country like Iran. attack the supplier.

With Biden (Obama) in charge, what's going to happen when "our luck finally runs out", and a US ship takes a direct hit? Does anyone remember when the British frigate/destroyer was hit during the Falkland Islands dispute a number of years ago? I believe the ship and many of the crew did not survive. Will an American ship simply be listed as a "regrettable loss"?

Hey Daily Mail and AP - we don't fly "fighter jets"! We fly jet fighters!

Got to hand it to muslim terrorists, they all stick together and have the same goals. We can wipe them all out now or we can continue this Crusade that has been going on for fourteen centuries. It may be warmonger talk but it's reality.
