Iran-Backed Militants Storm US Embassy in Yemen, Seize Hostages

[jknowgood]

Why, no Americans have been harmed and are not hostages...

Lol, yeah like we weren't lied to by Obama and Hillary when Bengazi happened. Liberals cannot tell the truth.

 

[jknowgood]

What is it with all of the antipatriots on the right who blame our leaders and our institutions for the actions of our enemies? And on Veteran''s Day, no less.

Lack of leadership and on veterans day.

 

[excalibur]

And so the shows of weakness by Biden begin reaping what he has sown.

THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS REMAIN STRANDED IN YEMEN AMID GROWING HUMANITARIAN CRISIS

A State Department spokesman told Fox News the "majority" of the hostages have been released, but that embassy staff "continue to be detained without explanation." "We have been unceasing in our behind-the-scenes diplomatic efforts to secure their release," press secretary Ned Price told reporters Thursday. "We’ve seen some progress, and we’re continuing to work this critical issue."

The U.S. closed its Yemen embassy in 2015 amid a violent civil war that has since led to the greatest humanitarian crisis in the world, according to the United Nations.

Though while American diplomats were sent stateside, some Yemeni staff continued to work from home or as security guards at the embassy, Bloomberg reported.

STATE DEPARTMENT REVOKES HOUTHIS' TERROR DESIGNATION DESPITE ATTACK ON SAUDI AIRPORT

It remains unclear which members of the embassy staff have been arrested by the rebel group, but the compound has also been breached, according to a State Department spokesperson.

"We call on the Houthis to immediately vacate it and return all seized property," the spokesman said. "The U.S. government will continue its diplomatic efforts to secure the release of our staff and the vacating of our compound, including through our international partners."

Yeah who cares about a US embassy or any US lives that may be in danger when you are a Dimmer commie?

Uh..perhaps you didn't read the thread above you..some Yemeni employees of the embassy are being held--not citizens. Just a clickbait op and a kneejerk response.

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

The Dumbocrats are so damn incompetent and useless, I can't fucking stand it. How the FUCK do you allow an embassy to get overrun?!?

The security should be equal to that of the White House. Reinforced gates and doors, security personnel with fully automatic weapons, etc.

And WTF isn't a Dillon M134D mounted on each corner of every embassy???

Ya thinkin' it was as secure as the Capital...on Jan.6? About the same, probably.
The embassy in Yemen is war duty...and the optics don't allow a large military footprint--and such is the life of a foreign diplomat~
Again, the Americans got away..yay team, right?

 

[P@triot]

thank goodness I have not lost anything

Sure looks like it to 100% of the rational people reading right now

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Yet neither country I listed makes anyone's top list for human rights violators, while China and our very close ally Saudi Arabia are on most of them.

So you compare them to KSA and China? LOL

keep digging

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Lack of leadership and on veterans day.

Yeah, that's your excuse. It makes you look doubly stupid.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

So you compare them to KSA and China? LOL

keep digging

They are better in the realm of human rights than both of those countries, yet we do not call either one of them a human rights disaster.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

there is nothing rational about you.

Yes, haha, surely it was because Biden is weak that they spent the past 6 years rampaging. Fuck you guys are dumb. I mean, so dumb it hurts.

 

[jknowgood]

Biden is the weakest president since Carter and it shows. If Trump was president it wouldn't of happened. Biden will do nothing, probably send them some of our best military equipment. Like he gave the Taliban.

Deja vu

U.S., Britain and France announce closure of their embassies.

Yes we do. KSA and China are 100% human rights disasters. Are you kidding me?

Yet one is a close and vital ally and the other is our largest trading partner. Weird.

The U.S. Embassy closure will not affect counter-terrorism operations against al-Qaeda's Yemen branch, which the U.S. views as the world's most dangerous branch of the terror group.
Yemen is the Arab world's poorest country, and it has been in crisis for months as fighters led by Iran-linked Abdel-Malek al-Houthi last week dissolved parliament and claimed formal control of the government.
President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi resigned in January and has since been under house arrest, and al-Houthi has repeatedly warned against foreign intervention.
"We will not accept pressures. They are of no use," al-Houthi said Tuesday. "Whoever harms the interest of this country could see that their interests in this country are also harmed."

Doesn’t mean they aren’t humanitarian disasters. Why is it weird?

 

[Turtlesoup]

This has nothing to do with Carter or cash.

Oh bullshit-----IRAN seized hostages under Carter as well. It's the exact same shit---and IRAN certainly sought a repeat of the 1975 hostage crisis. Fucking Carter is now replaced with fucking Biden...Pretty sure Bidens Milley and Austin will also fuck up any attempt at rescuing the hostages as well.

There are no American hostages, we have not had any Americans there since 2015.

Educate yourself for once you flipping moron.

No the embassy wasn't secure---apparently the Iranian terrorists were seizing security guards and other employees for weeks from their homes prior to seizing the embassy. What the fuck did Shit for Brains Biden think was going to happen-------I mean common sense would dictate that the terrorists were working on a plan and needed to be stopped. OUr fucking media and Biden administration have been hiding the kidnappings.

AND FOR MOON---hun, they seized US hostages--Biden and crew are trying to negotiate BRIBE for their release as we speak.
