U.S. sends Navy destroyer to patrol off Yemen amid Iran tensions

[Slave2the$]

This won't be war, this will just be reactionary. Someone gets too close, we blow them up. Someone shoots a missle at us, we blow them up.
Someone takes our sailors, we stop them. Why is this hard for liberals? Must be from all the ass kickings they get from their wives. They're used to not fighting back.

This is called "escalation" kids.

I would be a lot happier if it was an entire flotilla rather than just one warship alone.

 

[yiostheoy]

Locked and loaded I hope...no more of this Obastard "That's not who we are" faggotry.

This makes me sick to my stomach. It truly does, there is no glory in War. There is just death and destruction, nobody should want this.

But the only effective way to deal with rogue states like Iran and N.Korea is to show greater force than they themselves can possibly apply.

Sane people don't want war but they recognize that sometimes we need to do it.

In this case, a destroyer patrolling the area and escorting vessels (I'm guessing merchant ships transiting the area) isn't going to war or starting a war. I'm sure their ROE is along the lines of "Weapons hold".

Let's not forget who is firing the first shots here.

Adm: Attacks Like Those on USS Mason Will Become More Common
.....Over the course of a week this month, Mason operating near the Bab el-Mandeb strait came under attack at least on two separate occasions from guided anti-ship cruise missiles that were widely believed to be provided to Houthi rebels by Iranian forces.

Specifically, naval analysts have told USNI News the missiles are likely Chinese-built C-802 (NATO reporting name CSS-N-8 Saccade) missiles based on the widely exported French Exocet missile.The attacks are the first time a U.S. warship has fired SM-2 missiles to ward off the attack from an anti-ship cruise missile threat. Following a retaliation strike by the U.S. after the second attack, Houthi forces are also suspected to have attacked Mason a third time. The Navy is still studying radar tracks to determine if the radar tracks to which the crew reacted were actually missile threats.

Destroyers Mason, Nitze and the afloat forward staging base USS Ponce (AFSB(I)-15) have been operating off the coast of Yemen in the vicinity of Bab el-Mandeb and the Red Sea following an attack on the UAE operated HSV Swift in which Houthi rebels claimed responsibility.....

Two Saudi Sailors Dead in Houthi Suicide Boat Attack
Two Royal Saudi Naval Forces sailors are dead following a Monday attack on a Saudi frigate operating in the Red Sea by Houthi forces.

The Saudi Al Madinah-class frigate was operating about 30 nautical miles from the Yemeni port of Hudaydah when it was approached by a trio of small boats.

One of the suicide boats managed to collide and detonate explosives against the hull of the frigate, a U.S. defense official told USNI News.

The collision sparked a fire on the ship that killed the two Saudi sailors and injured three others, according to a report in Al Arabiya.

Following the attack, the crew of the frigate, “dealt with the boats as necessary,” read a statement from the Saudi-led collation.

“The Saudi ship has continued its patrol duties in the area of operations, while the air force and the coalition forces’ ships continued to chase the fleeing boats to deal with them,” continued the statement.
“The command of the coalition asserts that the continuation of the Houthi militias’ use of the port of Hudaydah as a launching pad for terrorist operations is a serious development that would affect the international navigation and the flow of humanitarian and medical assistance into the port for Yemeni citizens.”

Earlier reports indicated the Saudi frigate may have been struck by an anti-ship cruise missile but a U.S. Navy official told USNI News there was no evidence one was fired at the warship.

The U.S. offered assistance but the Saudis haven’t asked for any ship support, a defense official told USNI News.

The attack on the Saudi ship comes after Houthi forces made multiple cruise missile attacks against U.S. warships in October.

We're ramping up our intervention in Yemen. Things are gonna get very ugly, very soon.

It's already very ugly over there. Mostly due nationsto radical Islamism which is being supported by Iran.

It's supported more so by some Sunni Muslim nations, especially Saudi Arabia. Shiites have very little influence on Global Jihad. But regardless, i don't wanna see one American die defending the Saudis. I would advise Trump against escalating things over there.

I know, and I agree. I also know that sometimes it needs to be done. I don't have to want it, and unlike some (not you) I certainly won't cheer it on.

Thank you now I feel much better.

If you absolutely positively need anything or anyone destroyed quickly you send US Marines. Yah !!!

With Iran and N.Korea testing ballistic missiles you CANNOT stay out of it.

You need to bomb their missile factories into rubble before they get a chance to build them.

Iraq War-repeat. There is no evidence Iran violated the agreement with the US. Just like Iraq, they're hell-bent on war. They're going full speed ahead. Iraq didn't have WMD and was completely contained. Once the war with Iran begins, we'll find out the same thing. Iran is no threat to the US. I would advise Trump against war.

Iraq did have weapons of mass destruction.

Iraq barely had a military and didn't possess WMD. It's not even clear it was really in violation of any agreements. It was a completely defenseless contained nation. The US invasion was a horrific blunder. Yet so many Americans are now enthusiastically supporting another horrific blunder. Boy, i just don't get Americans.

War is horrible but the cost of not going to war is usually much more horrible.

Ask the Jews of Germany.
The Cambodian people under the Khmer Rouge.
The people under the Japanese Empire.
The slaves of 1860 America.

If Yemen wishes to be an Islamo terrorist base that pirates ships in international waters, time for regime change.

Any NEW ballistic missile development by anyone who does not already have this genie out of the bottle should be prevented from creating their own genie.

The justification is the safety of the American people.

N.Korea cannot be allowed to reach Alaska or Hawaii with missiles.

And Iran is a totally different anti semitic fruit basket of their own making. Their war talk has gotten them into the dog house. They should also not be allowed to develop ICBM's.

Russia has had their own since shortly after the US built their own, thanks to excellent Russian spies.

China was allowed by Russia to develop their own -- a big mistake.

UK and France did the same and the USA allowed it -- probably a big mistake.

India and Pakistan have their own also. But they did not issue anti semitic statements before developing them. They developed them quietly, and they did not draw attention to themselves in the process.

The USA did not have the balls back during the Truman era to stop Russia when it/she had a chance.

The Russians did not have the balls to stop the Chinese.

Now the world has over half a dozen nuclear armed ICBM nations.

This mistake should not continue.

N.Korea and Iran should have their missile development bombed into rubble, correct.

If you have any more questions just let me know.
