I thought Trump was all about peace, and America first. The lyin liar lied again.
Get spinnin, MAGA.

Remember my fear.
Trump gets into a NeoCon Iran adventure and in return, the Left and their NeoCon buddies call us warmongers.
Dearborn is soooooo much better for us. And they'd be loyal. A concept totally unknown --- to some.

The US hasn’t been able to send a ship though the Red Sea without being shot at in months. This isn’t an adventure; this is pest control.

SNIP As of 2 January 2025, the Houthis recorded 931 American and British airstrikes against its sites in Yemen, resulting in 106 deaths and 314 injuries.[13] - WIKI
Doesn't seem to work. Maybe Trump should bomb the country that supplies the Yemen.

This is one of the few actions I agree with. It is a continuation of a Biden policy. As an aside, it is interesting that this time the US acted alone rather than in coordination with the military from other countries.

Biden adopted a large defensive posture. I wrote about it a lot.
We’ll see if Trump is more proactive, which he should be.
As to the coordination part, the US has been 99% of the action in the Red Sea. NATO navies largely exist on paper.

If you call 100's of airstrikes "a large defensive posture", have at it.

Amd how effective were they? How do you know what they targeted, much less hit?
My evidence of their lack of effectiveness is that the attacks continued with impunity. What’s your counter argument for how good a job they were doing?

And to further buttress my argument:
https://x.com/JewishWarrior13/status/1901272031963...This is NSA Waltz on ABC’s Sunday show:
JUST ON: Mike Walz, the Trump administration's national security adviser, on the strikes in Yemen tonight: We attacked and killed Houthi leaders.Biden’s goal was to avoid killing anyone. Trump’s goal is to send the FAFO message.
The next thing should be the supersonic fly-by of the Iranian ship that is giving the Houthis targeting information. For those who don’t understand what that means, it’s simple:
The next thing that flies over has a warhead on it. Time for you to leave.

So assuming this wiki thing is remotely accurate, that basically makes my point.
Roughly 1 out of 9 air strikes actually killed someone.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/rubio-says-ai... Washington — Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that U.S. airstrikes in Yemen on the Iran-backed Houthi rebels are targeting the group's ability to strike global shipping and attack the U.S. military, and are "doing the world a favor."
"We're doing the entire world a favor by getting rid of these guys and their ability to strike global shipping. That's the mission here, and it will continue until that's carried out," Rubio said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."
..
This is not a message," Rubio said. "This is an effort to deny them the ability to continue to constrict and control shipping."
The secretary of state said that over the last 18 months, the Houthis have "struck or attacked 174 Naval vessels of the United States," along with 145 attacks on commercial shipping.
"So we basically have a band of pirates, you know, with guided precision anti-ship weaponry and exacting a toll system in one of the most important shipping lanes in the world," Rubio said. "That's just not sustainable."

Don’t the Saudis have some nice fighters? Why don’t they use them?
But of course. This is favor MBS needs after bailing out Don the Con.

Why do you think a 3rd rate, Iranian backed terrorist army should be allow to fire on US ships?
