The “response” from the Biden administration to attacks on American forces (since that’s apparently what we’re calling it) continued for a second straight night. This time, British forces joined in with American Air Force and naval assets in strikes against Houthi installations in Yemen. The Department of Defense said that three dozen targets were hit, […]
It’s hard to see how much longer this can last without a significant effect on the global economy. Oddly enough, it’s #Bidenomics, inflation, and a uniformly shaky world financial situation that’s actually helped mitigate some of the effects of the Houthi militia’s fiery hijinks in the Bab al-Mandeb strait. We were already in kind of […]
This is the second time that the US and UK have launched a joint strike against the Houthis in Yemen. Politico describes it as a large-scale strike. The U.S. and U.K. conducted large-scale air and missile strikes on Houthi rebel facilities across Yemen on Monday, according to a U.S. and British official, stepping up operations […]
For quite some time now we’ve been keeping a close eye on the border region between Pakistan and India. The two nuclear powers have never gotten along well, with frequent skirmishes breaking out over disputed territory. But as of yesterday, Pakistan has experienced a flare-up with a different neighbor. Iran has launched attacks on what […]
Well, it took a direct missile attack on an American cargo ship to make it happen, but Joe Biden will reportedly add the Houthi militants in Yemen back to the designated list of terrorists at long last. Or more correctly, he will sort of add them back to the list, but it’s not the same […]
As Jazz pointed out this morning, the Houthis don’t seem to have been dissuaded from attacks on US targets thus far. In the last couple days they have launched attacks on a US commercial vessel and at a US Navy destroyer. Fortunately, the missile aimed at the destroyer was shot down. Today, the US hit another […]
Iran may have dramatically stepped up its involvement in the Middle East conflict with the US. Today, Iran’s IRGC reportedly launched missiles at a US consulate in Erbil, Iraq. At least that’s one of several stories that are now circulating. What we know for sure is that missiles did land in the area of Erbil. […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
