  2. Sunak did not 'Defend' the action taken.
    He merely informed parliament of what went on as they couldn't be clued in before the strikes due to security of the mission.

    'Defending' is a false narrative laid out by this reporter.

  6. Hmmm …
    In a few months the houtis will cry genocide and south Africa will take the USA to the international court of Justus.

  15. Seriously, everyone needs to remember that boat based shenanigans, is a surefire way to cause the US to get the US more involved in a conflict

  21. You don't need two of the most powerfulest countries in the world to be attacking Yemen.

    100% guaranteed without any doubt whatsoever the United States is hoping that Iran jumps into the fight.

    We can't directly a link them to the attacks on American basis we can just assume that they're behind the attacks.

    Yemen attacking the cargo ships give the United States permission to open fire on them. But remember Iran sent a warship over to Yemen to protect them.

    That's when the United States opened fired. If Iran Fires at the United States it's War.

    So I can guarantee you without any doubt whatsoever Yemen means absolutely nothing. You don't have to the most powerful country in the world to attack one of the smallest countries on Earth.

    Yemen if you're listening to this you better wake the hell up before the United States really unleashes on you we're not Israel if your citizens have not been attacked us because we don't want to attack them.

    But don't think that's going to stop us we can simply attack your citizens and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

    The United States does not care what any other country thinks about it we listen to No One But ourselves. If you don't think that we will attack your citizens you might want to stop and think about the two nuclear bombs that we dropped on Two Cities.

    You're a citizens and we can attack yours also. And we don't care who disapproves of it and who doesn't.

    More people die in the United States by gun violence then the people that are dying in Gaza.

    if we don't even treat our own citizens good what makes you think that we're going to be nice to you 😂😂😂

  23. Why did Houtis choose such a funny figure as their spokesman? I have to laugh every time he speaks. Like a bad copy of "Great Dictator" with Charlie Chaplin.😂
