Why is the US always attacking the small guys?

The U.S. launched strikes Saturday in Yemen as President Trump said the U.S. would use "overwhelming lethal force" until Houthis cease shipping attacks.

We are always using overwhelming lethal force against foreign enemies. Pounding ants crawling on the floor with a sledge hammer is the story of our life as a world policeman and superpower.

The ants strikes back. Houthis responded to Trump's airstrikes with ballistic missile attacks. They launched an attack comprising 18 ballistic and cruise missiles, along with drones, targeting the USS Harry S Truman aircraft carrier and its accompanying warships in the northern Red Sea on Sunday.

Will Trump invade Yemen the way Bush invaded Iraq?

First of all,
here are the facts.

https://www.foxnews.com/world/u-s-military-shoots-down-houthi-drones-trumps-strikes-against-terrorist-group-continue

U.S. warships have shot down roughly a dozen Houthi drones since President Donald Trump launched airstrikes against the terrorist organization on Saturday, Fox News has learned.

A senior defense official told Fox News of the developments on Sunday. The drones were aimed at the U.S. Navy's Truman Carrier Strike Group, and were shot down "well before" they posed a serious threat, the official added.

The latest military action came after nearly a year and a half of attacks from Houthis, both on commercial merchant vessels and U.S. military ships. In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump wrote that he had "ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen."

This is called DEFENSE. Those attacks were on UNITED STATES naval vessels. Shooting those drones is called DEFENSE.

These are TERRORISTS. They attack CIVILIANS, and you fcking goose steppers applaud them and bash those who don't.

Trump did the right thing

@Pfuzylogic
The Hoithis need a pounding and if they don’t stop then they need to be removed like a stain.

Removing the Houthis? They are the latest mutation of the Mid-East virus the US has been dealing with since ISIS.

I seldom agree with the current guy but on this; It is the right move.

Right move? Swatting bees is the right move?

For the same reason why Russia does the same

What is FAFO?
"FAFO" is a slang acronym that stands for "F*** around and find out," used as a warning that actions will lead to consequences.

Other than using lead plumbing, I think the ancient Romans were more intelligent.

You don't have a viewpoint. You just make statements and make no effort to either explain your points of view or defend them.

@whowasthatmaskedman @whowasthatmaskedman The United States defeated the Soviet Union (a nuclear power that could have rendered all human life EXTINCT on the face of the earth) without firing a shot.

And in this instance, those ragheads were aiming missiles at American naval ships. All PRESIDENT TRUMP did was order those ships DEFENDED.

Because these days U.S don't do war where their high-tech doesn't work. Middle eastern are mostly open field where their fancy electronic war apparatus works the best. With these, they can bomb without being bombed. Kill without being killed.

That's why the bloodiest U.S affair are always in the middle east.

@doong Actually, (and maybe you would have known this had your inferior blue state public schools gotten most of their history books from THE VIEW) the Middle East has been a hotspot in the world for CENTURIES. Long before oil was discovered to be the fuel of civilization and the sand crabs discovered they were sitting on millions of barrels of oil, the Middle East was the center of east west trade, where there were limited shipping routes. All the local powers looked at the middle east as a strategic goal.

President Trump was (a) defending the ships in the US navy with that strike on the drones, and (b) DEFENDING THE JEWS IN ISRAEL, YOU FUCKING NAZI.
