Id like the solution from the John Wayne movie "Big Jake little Jake".

"Your fault my fault, no matter what else happens....Im gonna kill you".

The whole world knows its Iran. How bout we send that message to their leadership directly. The last time this happened Reagan dropped a few on Kadaffi's home.... you didnt hear shat from Libya for 25 years.

What are they gonna do

Condemn us in the UN, anyone that does take their diplomatic passport, that of their wives, thereby cutting off their shopping privileges, and all the kids attending school in the US. Given that all countries would complain we could shut down the UN and save a bunch of cash.

Send clowns to cause mischief...like they are at most universities now.

Fund mischevious groups in other countries, like they arent now?

Huh?

That was a discussion about global commerce

I fail to see how a united front of the US, UK/Europe, Saudi Arabia, and China is a bad thing. Global commerce is what is creating that front.

If those 4 entities are united that's a great thing for the world, other than the outlier disruptors (Russia/Iran and their proxies)

They will thank us for giving then access to so many virgins. Of course, they’ll be surprised when they discover the virgins are all Antifa.

You really think China, Israel, and Saudi Arabia can't defeat the Houthis

I'm sure they can. Having everyone on board makes a stronger statement against forces who would disrupt international commerce and decreases the chances of any actual war breaking out among those working together.

I mean what good would it do for the US to have China and Saudi Arabia back in the fold right now with BRICS? What good would it do to fracture this new relationship between China and Russia?

About war.. "for commerce"

This would be nowhere near a "war".

The only time Trump was given the opportunity to engage militarily during his Presidency (chemical weapons in Syria), he engaged in a similar way. Does anyone want to call Trump a "Neocon"? Hell, that bombing didn't even have US interests at heart like this scenario. It was an emotional response and virtue signaling.

We’ve been bombing or helping bomb Yemen for over a decade.

Iran now has a navy destroyer in the neighborhood. No one is worried about the mighty US anymore. Im surprised they dont land a balloon on the deck of our ships.

They want us in the height of the war during the election. Wouldn’t surprise me if they cancelled the election!

This is my opinion, Denmark ship under a Singapore flag, those countries have enough of a military to frick up a houthi. And if they don't, this should be a wake up call for them. If it were just US ships being targeted, then US should absolutely be involved. Or if this was happening in waters off the coast of US, then I could see our inevitable involvement even if it was another country's ship.

Based on this one attack, this isn't a US issue in my opinion.

Why are the middle east countries not shutting these fricks down? They are the ones who ultimately suffer when this bullshite happens and escalates.

Pretty wild how all the anti war conservatives "no more forever wars America first" crowd on here pivoted so strongly in favor of more Middle East wars. Mass formation psychosis IS REAL, and they know how to pull yalls strings.
