Well, that’s certainly not good for peace
Houthis about to find out about their promised virgins
I love how AP put a map in the article basically subtitled as “this is Yemen, btw”
I’m not surprised, is anyone actually surprised?
The Houthis are about to experience some ‘Freedom’
Don’t fuck with our boats
They’re about to find out what a “proportional response” looks like
If they actually managed to hit a commercial ship they will see a response. If they managed to hit the US warship they will see a war.
Any word on any damage to the Carney?
In terms of this causing an escalation of war in the area, it’s just not a concern. These militant groups might be directed by Iran, but they certainly aren’t backed up by Iran.
What’s more confusing is how Iran seems to convince these islamist groups to go shit disturb over and over. Like… what’s in it for them?
Send these losers to their virgins pls
The one rule is don’t touch the boats
Firing on an Arleigh Burke class destroyer? That’s entering deeply into the FAFO zone.
It seems like the Middle East is in some desperate need for freedom🦅🦅
Don’t poke the bear or something?
So 2 commercial ships get targetted, a Bahaman-flagged ship owned by Anglo Eastern (Unity Explorer), and another owned by ZIM (Number Nine) seems like only one was hit by a drone (confirmed by UKMTO), and a ballistic missile was reported as landing near the other ship (Houthis say they used a drone on “Number nine”. USS Carney intervenes on behalf of the British ship now fearing a hijacking, Carney gets attacked by drones probably en route to the distress call, and shoots down 2. Just one day after the US intercepted an Iranian drone for unsafe maneuvers.
Oh man. Americans are about to unleash the beast. Gonna learn the hard way
I hope they like rubble, because this is how they turn their country into it.

America has been attacked multiple times, unsuccessfully, by Yemen in the last month. Why has America not done a full on retaliation at this point? Why is it just allowing these attacks knowing they’re not gonna stop?
“hey why is the sky on fire?”
Those guys probably soon
god help us all
I’m going with this is all Putin’s doing…..again. I’m convinced he’s pulling the strings from out of harms way

Here we go boys
Remember that time the US decided to respond in a “proportional way” and knock out an oil rig or two, but once there was blood in the water every commander in the gulf wanted in and before you knew it the Iranian Navy was sunk?
Israel *grabs popcorn*: Give em hell boys
If you’re wondering who had the balls to attack a US warship, it seems to be Yemen’s Houthis Rebels.
They admitted to targeting the commercial ships for links to Isreal, but didn’t claim to attack the US warship.
Houthis are really trying to get obliterated quickly. What do they think will happen if they kill a US sailor?
We really ought to start sending 2000 lb love letters to tehran.
God help us all…
Any disruptions to Suez bound cargo will have immediate impacts in Europe. Historically, 10% of Europe’s Oil and 16% of Europe’s LNG needs transited the Red Sea. As a result of the war in Ukraine and Western sanctions, Europe’s current dependence on this route have increased dramatically.
They about to learn why Americans can’t afford healthcare the hard way.
Well things are about to get extremely proportionate in the Red Sea.
