Who ever did attack – they are playing with fire here.

Attacking Americas ships is a bad idea
Is the Israel-Gaza conflict escalating into a regional war? I hope not but the signs aren’t encouraging.
If they are indeed Yemen rebels, that country is about to see a major smackdown
How is this even possible if the warship is there to defend the commercial fleet? Was US Navy unable to deter drones? Who ever did this is in deep shit.
And we do nothing about it. Yemen and Iran would be caked in ashes by now in a sane world.
The gulf of Tonkin 2.0
Based on how we have been handling things like this I don’t think we will do much. Maybe a few air strikes in Syria, not like we will be taking out the ayatollah’s palace.
Saudis should ask Jared for their 2 billion dollars back. After all, it was for peace in the Middle East.

I bet that a certain crown prince is feeling pretty vindicated right now lol.
Well the terrorists in Yemen just fucked all the countries that really on the red sea shipping.
I feel it will be bare bone until it will come under control.
So what’s the point of US warships in the area, are they going to protect shipping or just let iran attack them by proxy?
Has the United States responded militarily from all these recent attacks?
Somebody’s gonna catch a hot one, or 10
They sure want a war with Iran don’t they
Is it time to play, “kick the shit out of the terrorists” again? Oh well, if somebody over there thinks creative suicide is fun, at least it gives our forces a little more target practice.
This might be a stupid question but will this escalate things or will the us brush it off.
Rip Yemen hope you like drone strikes.
Guess they gotta be shown the American way 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Don’t mess with America’s boats, we really don’t like that shit, look what we did to the Barbary pirates… and the Spanish… and the Germans… and the Japanese… and the Iranians… Just don’t…
Attacking a US ship has never led to anything significant
Nah, that’s it.
There better be an overwhelming response in the next 72hrs. If there isn’t, people here need to rally/protest.
Rashida Tlaib is probably calling for a ceasefire before we even fire a single shot.

The second attacked vessel, container vessel “Number 9”, sent a distress message on MF/HF today afternoon at 12:30 UTC. This article confirms the attack on that vessel and tomorrow we have to cross that same area..things are getting interesting 🤔
Looks like some freedom is about to be delivered
DONT FUCK WITH OUR BOATS
oof man if this is the excuse to go balls to the wall on Iran I’ll be displeased.
It looks to me as if the US is being goaded into a military conflict.
Reminds me of the Sum of all Fears premise. Create a war between two adversaries then sit back and watch them destroy each other.
I keep wondering … who benefits?
I hope that when the US retaliates, they careful about not harming innocent civilians or kids – that is the advice they give Israel.
Houthis: “Remember the Maine, the Lusitania, and Pearl Harbor? I think it’s gonna go great for us!”
If this continues, ships in that region aren’t going to be able to get insurance for prices they can afford. When shipping is mostly done through massive multinational corporations, that translates to no more shipping there.
Would be wildly bad for the global economy. Ironically, considering Yemen’s reliance on food imported by ships, it would probably be absolutely catastrophic for them if the Houthis actually succeed in this.
Well, sounds like two attacks and a “Whoops, FUCKIN’ RUN!”
Why? I just want out of that money pit.
Unironically, I say we throw 1 tomahawk then get out. Everything out. There is nothing worth saving out of that whole general area.

As it should be. Should be attacked everywhere
