The US and the UK strike Houti targets in Yemen overnight. Good or bad?

I have to say I laughed - very good. "No, not like that" could be the response perhaps!

Ireland's government took the right choice, i always said it since day 1. When the rest of Europe are looked upon as global outcasts to the rest of the world the Irish will be respected and welcomed everywhere. Very wise decision which should be applauded.

Just need to keep far away from those loons in NATO and not **** it all up.

We are in the EU

Like they give a crap about genocide, aren't they currently involved in civil war which part of a wider sectarian proxy war in the ME.

US strike at a Houthi missile.

Can't be good for the long suffering environment, bombing ships loaded with petroleum products.

What if they sink one full of crude oil?

Mainly their own nest they are fouling though. I suppose why worry...Allah will sort it come Judgement Day no doubt!

Houthi's got a new missile

Uk warships don't have the missiles to attack Yemen on land. After the 2 minesweepers crashing into each other last week maybe it's a good job, they would probably hit the wrong country.

The Axis of evil must be laughing their caps off watching this debacle unfold.

I can't think of a more justifiable reason to even have an army warships and bombs, and use them, than to retaliate against these attacks.

IMO the alliance have gone is way to softly and should ramp up the operation and kill it off as quickly as possible.

Time to send in the bombers

It's Iran , they have to return Iran back to the stone Age these proxies are paid for and armed with weapons from the Iran revolutionary guard , this was also an attack on Jordan that won't go down well

Possibly Syria not Jordan

It's certainly nowhere near the highest level. In fact I believe they have been extremely restrained in their retaliation.

Other countries without skin in the game have had their ships targeted and pirated.

I find it hard to believe if the US distanced themselves from Israel the Houthis wouldn't have attacked merchant shipping.

The US did warn Israel about not making the same mistakes the US made in the aftermath of 911. Israel is a sovereign state and allowed to make their own mistakes. I hardly see how the blame can be laid on the US.

Define weak? We talking bench pressing, or weak as in his party doesn't control congress.... or some other metric?

Be sure as ****, if Biden went hard and fast, he'd be slated for being a war monger, go slow and calm and he's weak. Feicking Goldilocks!

Made mistakes.... lets see with the registered vessels:

Bahamas, Malta, Bahamas, Panama, Panama, Norway, French Navy, Marshal Islands, Hong Kong, Liberia, Liberia, US Navy, Cayman Islands, panama, Norway, Gabon, Liberia, Singapore.....

Seems like just random targeting anything that moves?

So he's a weak president based on how he speaks and acts? So how has he acted thus far that makes him a weak president?

Ignore opinion polls, they have no bearing on how well a president or government acts in the interest of a country. Balancing a budget is vital for a country but can be unpopular for the people etc....

The US are at the lowest active level they can be.

There very mouthy theses terrorists ,,,

Suppose it's pretty much like any mouth piece that thinks they have big with a gang behind them....

Until they get hammered into the stone age and run away

Who is the civilised world exactly ?

Non Terrorist types who don't support terrorists and respect the rule of law

this is just scare mongering.

the EU will not be finished, no matter how much you want it to be and we know you do.

what will happen is ships will divert and costs will go up, which will be **** absolutely, but it is going to happen regardless while this conflict continues.

america and britain want to play the world's police man, the rest of us have more important things for our taxes to be spent on, hence why we leave them do their job and we deal with our own problems at home.

absolutely, which is why it is vital that this does not escalate.
