Do you think this would be going on with Ronald Reagan as President?
Reagan would be provoking an attack like he did in Libya after a day after a Libyan jet fired on US fighter jets.

They blew up 241 Marines in Beirut under his watch. Reagan's legend and reality are two very different things.
Iraq attacked USS Stark in 1987
No response from Reagan

Obviously red lines drawn in the water don't hold up very well.

I'm pretty sure one of those destroyers could wipe that entire shitty country off the arabian peninsula. How come our great ally and terrorism sponsor buddy, and ruler of Arabia doesn't keep Yemen and Oman in check for us?

Saudi has been bombing the shite out of Yemen since 2015.
The rebels are receiving support from Iran. I wouldn't be surprised if those chinese antiship missiles originated from Iran.
Folks, it is high time we confront the true bully of the region and start holding Iran accountable.

an F-117 was shot down a few years ago by a raghead on a hilltop using a hand held SAM

The US Navy has retaliated against radar sites on the Yemeni coast. The ships aren't just sitting there doing nothing.
Doesn't fit the narrative, so people ignore this. Or are monitoring biased sources who don't report this.

That would be right after we ask for our money back

Sure, but it was after multiple "mock" attacks and one actual missile being shot at a jet. It was also provoked by the US to some extent - we essentially had to poke Libya to encourage an attack so fighters could retaliate under the ROE.

What part of NO is that? Iranian ships and Russians are there, sir.
Yes I'm well aware of the Iranian ships off the coast.
It does not have the makings of another Gulf of Tonkin because we aren't looking for an excuse to go to war with any of the players here. We wanted to go to war with North Vietnam, but needed a reason. Iran gives us reasons nearly daily to go to war with them that don't involve a proxy. This is just a bunch of dumbass rebels looking for their moment of glory by striking a blow to the great Satan.

Yeah, because that worked so well in Iraq.
Again, had we left Saddam there Syria and Iran would not be an issue now. Irks the shite out of me that there was no long term plane there.
I'd rather abandon the area and expand fracking than jeep throwing money into that sand pit.

Agreed. This isn't the gov't of Yemen launching these attacks, it is a bunch of backwards hajis financially and logistically backed by Iran

They're never going to hit shite you'd think they'd stop wasting missles

You do know she wants war right? This statement is far from the truth.
