“This multinational action targeted radar systems, air defense systems, and storage and launch sites for one way attack unmanned aerial systems, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles,” the statement said. “These strikes have no association with and are separate from Operation Prosperity Guardian, a defensive coalition of over 20 countries operating in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb Strait, and Gulf of Aden.”
General Michael Erik Kurilla, CENTCOM Commander, said that the U.S. military would “hold the Houthi militants and their destabilizing Iranian sponsors responsible for the illegal, indiscriminate, and reckless attacks on international shipping that have impacted 55 nations so far, including endangering the lives of hundreds of mariners, including the United States.”

No.
ReplyDeleteJoe Biden, never met a war he wouldn't start.
ReplyDeleteJoe Biden ended the war in Afghanistan. That war was started by gwb.
ReplyDeleteBefore the election your prediction was that Joe Biden was going to escalate in Afghanistan. You continually make wrong predictions.
ReplyDeleteThe war in Afghanistan is over? The War on Terror is over? Congress will have to pass a new war resolution to go back in? They only have 30 days to declare war on Yemen?
ReplyDeleteLOL!
...moving the theatre of war isn't ending the war.
ReplyDeleteEscalation is 2024+...
ReplyDeleteWell... was Trump needed resolution of Congress to hit Syria with Tomahawks? ;-)
ReplyDelete...all part of the ongoing and never ending War on Terror. Only nine Senators have called for its' end, so far. Global "empire" remains a viable option in the UniParty cards.
ReplyDeleteBS... you are NOT empire.
ReplyDeleteYou even do not get it -- what means being empire. ;-)
HINT: Things like Trump case -- impossible for empires.
...which is why its' being done now, before the WEF takes "official" control.
ReplyDeleteI support repealing the PATRIOR act. Unlike dotard donald. I thought donald was an outsider and not a uniparty member. What gives?
ReplyDeleteVirginia Sen. Tim Kaine, the lead Democratic author of the Senate bill to repeal the Iraq authorizations...
Maybe it would have been repealed by president Hillary Clinton... If dotard donald had not stolen the presidency from her?
Minus: ...before the WEF takes "official" control.
ReplyDeleteWhen do the broadcasts being beamed directly into your brain (via your tinfoil hat) predict that will happen?
Every time they meet in Davos.
ReplyDeletetRump went to their meeting as president. He also turned over control?
ReplyDeleteYou should ask him next time you're in Davos.
ReplyDeletetrump is fleeing there to avoid prosecution? Not Russia?
ReplyDeleteThe United States has an extradition treaty with Switzerland.
ReplyDeleteI think the UAE or Saudi Arabia is the most likely place he might flee to. MBS owes him a favor for helping to cover up the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
So when is Biden going to be arrested for ordering the killing Gonzalo Lira?
ReplyDeleteNever. Because that didn't happen.
ReplyDeleteLira's alive? Who knew/
ReplyDeletePeople can't die unless Joe Biden orders their death? Does that mean I'm immortal?
ReplyDelete:-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
ReplyDeleteBut.
Continue-continue. :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Maybe Joe Biden will order the death of Qtard?
ReplyDelete:-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
ReplyDeleteBut.
Continue-continue. :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Did Minus ever give any evidence that Joe Biden ordered the killing Gonzalo Lira? I didn't see any.
ReplyDeleteBefore or after Qtard derailed the conversation with its moronity. As it often does.
