European Navy ships are militarily incapable of defending against Houthi attacks. A rag tag militia built by Iran is stronger than French, British ...

Ah, such reliable allies!

And some want more of the same. They have been ripping us off for decades, not spending anywhere near enough of their GDP on defense. ANd many of you bash Trump for his truthfulness about these "allies".

They gave the capability, just not the total tonnage. We are in the best position, doing what allies are supposed to do.

As though NATO doesn’t have spending targets by EUROPE.

I didn't know the Houthi strikes are a NATO operation. I had thought it was just another bail out the Israelis operation driven by the US.

Another TIL thing.

Woo hoo.

All NATO countries have a % of GDP they must spend on defense…most do not.

They should. They can deal with local issues. The US should not need to.

Why is it so important to spend our money and get our citizens killed?

You sure have waxed left-leaning today....Was it something you ate?

He's been left leaning ever since he's been here.

I'm no "conservative" either.....I prefer to pick and choose instead of being led around by the nose by a party, much less carrying water for one.

In Virginia everyone is unaffiliated till they enter the voting booth.

Neither party is worth a damn, but to think that White is a 'middle of the road' kind of guy just doesn't match up with his posts.

Well, there was so much ignorance and misinformation on that call.

Not even close, he sides with you lefties on pretty much every post/thread, he's full of TDS. His only 'right' leaning stance, which should be the stance of every American, is his agreement with the 2nd amendment.
