Biden is on a roll as commander in chief

U.S.-led coalition strikes Iran-aligned Houthi militants in Yemen
The operation follows a surge in attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea that have wreaked havoc on the global economy

A U.S.-led coalition struck Iran-aligned Houthi militants in Yemen on Thursday, a dramatic escalation after the group ignored warnings from the Biden administration and other governments to stop attacking commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

The operation follows weeks of hostility as the Houthis, protesting Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, have disrupted global trade by making the vital waterway a dangerous place for ships to transit. The group, which functions as the de facto government in parts of Yemen, has carried out numerous attacks since November, officials have said, leading to repeated distress calls and routine altercations with U.S. and partner nations’ warships dispatched to the region in response.

In a statement, President Biden characterized the strikes as a necessary response to the pattern of violence that has affected several countries, saying they were directed at “a number of targets” used by the Houthis to launch their attacks. He did not disclose whether anyone had been killed in the operation.

“These attacks have endangered U.S. personnel, civilian mariners, and our partners, jeopardized trade, and threatened freedom of navigation,” the president said. “ … I will not hesitate to direct further measures to protect our people and the free flow of international commerce as necessary.”

The Houthis are the natives and are being abused by the British, US, and Saudis.

The Palestinians are being badly abused by Israel and the US, and the Houthis are in the right.

I guess I should be used to Republicans siding with enemies against the United States of America by now, but it still shocks me in a small way.
 
The Ukraine is the original homeland of Russia.
Kyiv was the capital of Russia until the Mongol invasion made them move it north to Moscow.
But the Maidan Coup we bribed in the Ukraine, installed the descendants of the 1700 Polish invaders in Kyiv, and they hate ethnic Russians, and have been committing genocide.
They have violated treaties, trying to block Russian use of Sevastopol, trying to join NATO, etc.
If we somehow get the ethnic polish to win in the Ukraine, then Russia would be forced to pre-emptively nuke the US.
The Ukraine in inside the Russian defense grid, so can never be allowed to install US nukes for a first strike advantage.
WRONG LIAR

Ancient history is not a valid claim.

We DID NOT bribe anyone in any coup. There was NO genocide,

They did NOT violate any treaty liar. there was NO treaty to justify.

The Russians would never aunch nukes as it would ENSURE their own destruction


The US has no need or desrie to plant nukes inb Ukraine


Your entire claim is absolute bullshit founded on LIES
 
Experience, competence, and level-headed decisiveness are great qualities to have in the U.S. President once again.


Biden is on a roll as commander in chief

The pundits were emphatic: President Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan in August was disastrous, leaving the United States more vulnerable to terrorists and less trusted around the world. In case anyone needed a reminder of the danger of prematurely pronouncing Biden a failure, take a look at the events of this week.

The president announced on Thursday a successful raid in Syria to take out the global leader of the Islamic State, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, also known as Hajji Abdullah. Thanking the skill and bravery of our intelligence and armed forces, Biden stressed, “This operation is testament to America’s reach and capability to take out terrorist threats no matter where they try to hide anywhere in the world.”

One could sense a bit of vindication in Biden’s voice after months of ridicule from critics who claimed our withdrawal from Afghanistan would leave us blind to threats from terrorist groups such as the Islamic State. Clearly, the United States has antiterrorism capabilities that do not require troops on the ground in Afghanistan, and it faces threats far from Afghanistan that demand our focus.

Likewise, the notion that the United States lost the trust of allies because of the decision to end a fruitless war never held up to scrutiny. The United States forged a deal with Britain and Australia to allow the latter nation to deploy nuclear submarines to counter China; led the world in international efforts to distribute coronavirus vaccines; and, most dramatically, mounted a formidable NATO response to Russian aggression.
Ukraine

Israel / Hamas

Yemen

Soon to be Taiwan / China

biden's on a roll
 
Nah, they tend to stay out of attacking neighboring Arab states, and let their allies do it. Otherwise it takes the focus off of the actual issue and turns it into an Israel-Arab argument.
Doesn't Israel have it in for Iran Synth?

Yes, we know that you weaklings and your coward Orange Dipshit would sit by and do nothing while Americans are being attacked, world trade is being disrupted, and American interests are endangered. All while bitching about the higher prices this would bring.

Fortunately America once again has a strong, resolute president who stands up for the United States and her allies.

Go fuck yourself, shitstain.
/---/ WHAT A SMELLY SACK OF HILLARY.

A U.S.-led coalition struck Iran-aligned Houthi militants in Yemen on Thursday, a dramatic escalation after the group ignored warnings from the Biden administration and other governments to stop attacking commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

The operation follows weeks of hostility as the Houthis, protesting Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, have disrupted global trade by making the vital waterway a dangerous place for ships to transit.

Looks like some Dems are criticizing Joe for another violation of the Constitution...

'The President needs to come to Congress before launching a strike against the Houthis in Yemen and involving us in another middle east (sic) conflict,' California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said.

'Section 2C of the War Powers Act is clear: POTUS may only introduce the US into hostilities after Congressional authorization or in a national emergency when the U.S. is under imminent attack,' he added. 'Reporting is not a substitute. This is a retaliatory, offensive strike'.

Cori Bush, a Missouri Democrat and member of the progressive Squad, called the strikes 'illegal' and told Biden, 81, to 'stop the bombing and do better by us'.

'The people do not want more of our taxpayer dollars going to endless war and the killing of civilians,' she added.

Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib also called the operation 'unconstitutional' and said Americans are 'tired of endless war'.

She has previously accused Biden of supporting 'genocide' in Gaza with his backing of Israel's military offensive in the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack.

Oregon Rep. Val Hoyle added: 'These airstrikes have NOT been authorized by Congress.

'The Constitution is clear: Congress has the sole authority to authorize military involvement in overseas conflicts. Every president must first come to Congress and ask for military authorization, regardless of part.'

Head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat from Washington, said the strikes were an 'unacceptable violation of the Constitution'.

'Article 1 requires that military action be authorized by Congress,' she added

Most Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, said that the strikes were long overdue and a hopeful sign the Biden administration would take a more aggressive approach to Iran and in its proxies.

Nato declared the US-led strikes were aimed at protecting shipping through the Red Sea and urged Iran to 'rein in its proxies'.

'These strikes were defensive, and designed to preserve freedom of navigation in one of the world's most vital waterways. The Houthi attacks must end,' Dylan White, a spokesman for the Western military alliance, said.
