Recent American and British strikes against Houthi positions in Yemen appeared to have paused the rebels’ attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes, at least temporarily. But the “private” message that Biden claims to have sent to Iran regarding the situation there doesn’t appear to have been well received. Less than 48 hours after the last […]
The thousands of people screaming about peace and ceasefires outside of the White House yesterday certainly weren’t acting as if peace was important. In fact, as Fox News reported, many of them were becoming overtly violent. The speeches and chants gave way to attempts to break down the security fencing that had been erected to […]
After another strike against the Houthis in Yemen, President Joe Biden seemed to be patting himself on the back for a job well done. The Houthis seemed less impressed, vowing a “strong and effective retaliation” in response. But the real power behind the Houthis is Iran, of course. Public statements from Tehran have been few […]
The United States launched another round of strikes on the Houthis on Friday (finally), taking out a radar station they used to target shipping. This was a welcome development after months of inaction by the Biden administration and the Houthis have ceased their attacks, at least for the moment. But Joe Biden’s attempts to brag […]
Picture Al Jazera The usual suspects have berated the administrations of America and Britain as well as anyone supporting the action in hitting back at the Houthis or anyone questioning the action of trying to stop attacks on shipping using the Red Sea accessing the Suez Canal. We should not forget that the Panama Canal […]
Iran has been trying to escalate the conflict in the Middle East and it looks like they just got their wish. Tonight for the first time since the start of the Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea the US and UK launched attacks on multiple Houthi sites in Yemen. 🚨BREAKING: FIRST MOMENTS OF […]
Beege has a piece about the utter failure of the Biden Administration to deal with the Houthis essentially shutting down shipping in the Red Sea. The level of incompetence displayed by the Biden Administration is almost beyond parody. It’s like our entire executive branch of government has created a script by cribbing from Veep and […]
I have to say I’m not sure what in particular it is that’s not getting the message across that we mean business. A half-assed coalition cobbled together, an absent Secretary of Defense, a mentally absent POTATUS, a lack of any sort of offensive action in response to whatever Houthis do, lack of harsh language, all […]
The Houthis in Yemen have not been letting up with their ongoing attacks against Israel and shipping in the Red Sea. In response, we’ve seen little more from the Biden administration than plans to shoot down incoming drones and missiles and a few small pirate boats being sunk. Is it any wonder that the status […]
Back in February of 2021, Joe Biden removed the designation of Ansarallah, colloquially known as the Houthis, as terrorists. Biden did so, one might suspect, because it was Donald Trump who had made the designation, and all things Trump are bad. Fast forward to January 24th, 2024, and the United States is gearing up for […]
