  6. To be honest it looks like the strikes were restrained, im sure surgical strikes are just a controlled warning to these rebels.Carry on targeting ships as they have been, and a ramped up scenario is not in their interest.

  7. In February 2021, the Biden Administration removed the Houthis from the U.S. list of officially designated terrorists.

  12. They're poking a stick at the wrong people.
    I remember years ago this one guy named kodaki. Threatened the US and we all know the outcome of that.

  17. United States and great britain is like father and mother of israel,they are always ready to support israel in its wrong doing,the arrogant stand of west and isreal on gaza will definately put world peace at stake and inch closer to clash of cross and Cresent which many lobbies in the west want.
