The interesting thing is, as reported by Trump, the deal is that the Houthis have agreed not to attack AMERICAN ships. Have we agreed to not police the Red Sea on behalf of Israeli ship???

Rand Paul would’ve done nothing and let our ships get repeatedly attacked.

What does this have to do with the unfair treatment of the Houthi rebels? They have to make a living!

Hopefully a US judge won't order the Houthis to start back attacking shipping routes.

Apparently, this is a major shift. Have we really agreed not to defend Israeli ships???

No way he agreed to leave them alone if they fire at Israeli ships.

I think you're right. Again it would be nice to having a functional press corps to ask:

"Mr. President, when you say they've agreed not to attack OUR ships, does that include ISRAELI ships?"

They need to pay for that F-18 that fell off that Carrier, then we stop bombing their asses.

Yup. In matters of life or death, I'm sick of the Art of the Deal obfuscation.

Aww, that's a nice gesture. We should increase our attacks in the meantime. Frick 'em. They picked this fight. It ends on our terms and not theirs.

This doesn't suggest complete capitulation by the Houthis, just a mutual agreement between with the US not to attack each other.
