Iran-backed Houthis sunk a British ship in the Red Sea on Monday and attacked two US ships in the Gulf of Aden.
The US is also investigating a US Reaper drone that crashed in Yemen on Monday.
A spokesman for the Houthis claimed the $30 million unmanned US Reaper drone was shot down “with a suitable missile.” (Video) According to reports: “The United Kingdom’s Maritime Trade Operations Agency (UKMTO) reported Monday that the Houthis sunk a ship traveling in the Red Sea , south of the port city of Mukha in Yemen. It is the the first time since the start of Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza

The best way to deal with this kind of situation is to not let it commence. But that train has left the station. Not just the US but the world needs Trump in the White House.

Looks like Iran is making good use of the billions and billions of dollars Biden has released to them.

Look for the Brits to send a strongly worded protest through diplomatic channels.

Why aren't we carpet bombing the region with napalm infused mega-bombs?

How much Suez transit fee foreign cash has Egypt lost because of this pack of feral dogs supported by Iran?Egypt is being abandoned by tourists in droves as their government has become openly hostile and threatening to Western tourists and that is 13% of the GDP. Suez transits are down over 45%. That has to be hurting too. I wonder when they will come with their hand out.

Look at the pictures of the three American service personnel killed by Houthi terrorists. All African-American! Joe Biden’s policies kill black Americans. Where is the outcry from the Left?
I thought Joe Biden cared about marginalized people groups. Guess it’s okay for him that they die as long as his sorry gob can suck up ice cream.

Sooo...Obama, Ooops, I mean Biden has two choices, he can either NOT go to the UN and demand Israel stop responding to being attacked, ...or....He can not respond to the USA and Britain being directly attacked.
Yeah it is a Brit ship, BUT it is flagged in Belize, operated by a Group in Lebanon, was carrying a Saudi Cargo...and on it's way to Bulgaria. The attack against that one ship was an attack on FIVE nations. One of the other ships attacked was Canadian, carrying grain from Argentina...TO Yemen, but part of Yemen the Houthis don't control..

So what is Biden going to do about it? Take another vacation? Blame Trump? Republicans? Maybe White Supremacist mega MAGA Christians? Wiĺ he have KJP give word salad responses to the press that answer nothing but are lapped up by the adoring press? Maybe Kamala can cackle and laugh and the drones on The View can call her brilliant. Maybe all of the above. Whatever it is, it will be pathetically inadequate.

Under Biden, they will even occupy the WH, while he hides in his Delaware basement

What a terrible tragedy that they shot down a 30million dollar drone. We could have supported another 2000 illegals with that money.

I know what a reasonable President would do. There's no telling what the barking mad squatter at the Resolute desk will do. Depends on how much money he can make from it.

Yep, Iran told the rebels to cut down. Is this cutting down?

What's Biden going to do? Give Iran more money and ask them to stop? I'd drop on of those MOAB's on the Houthi head shed and be done with them.

The United States is permitting this to happen. The same thing happened under Obama when he permitted ISIS to exist. Once Trump put an end to that, ISIS folded in six months.

What would the UK response be if Winston Churchill or Margaret Thatcher were still running the show in the UK? Instead today the UK has allowed their land to be silently invaded by an unlimited number of Middle East origin illegal aliens and have drawn down their armed forces to the point where the Royal Air Force can only respond to Houthi attacks by sending just two modern fighter bombers to bomb the Houthis from the nearest RAF airbase all the way up in Cyprus.

There is little to be done other than targeted strikes to put an end to this without creating another war zone for which there is no appetite. Freedom of navigation sounds like a great ideal, but trying to enforcing it half way round the world doesn’t. The West has been struggling with Middle East policy since 1947. We were able to generally have our way, but today the world is no longer under our thumb and technology has placed deadly weapons in the hands of the lowliest adversaries forcing a massive expenditure of resources needed elsewhere to counter them. The Houthis are not going away and no one is going to volunteer to fight and die for freedom of navigation when ships can simply sail elsewhere. Don’t expect Middle East nations to get involved, the Houthis are doing the dirty work for them.

People keep saying Biden doesn't do anything. The fact is Biden is incapable of doing anything. Biden is not running this country and any sane person knows it. Obama is running the country and his fingerprints are all over every decision. The policy toward Iran has been the same as it was under 8 years with Obama. Nothing has changed. Obama is nothing more than a bought and paid for spineless jellyfish. Remember, none of this happened under Trump.
