View Quote View Quote But I agree, fire missiles at a US warship and we apparently do nothing? Is this de-escalation in play or just us rolling over. What's the point of sending such a strong presence, to make them sitting ducks by not responding? |

Then realize the missiles were fired from the court yard of a school for developmental challenged orphans and the launchers did a shoot and scoot. Yea, that will play well - NOT. |

We are headed for dark days. Biden is responding like Carter and Clinton.

According to more from ABC's senior Pentagon correspondent, US officials confirm to ABC "the destroyer USS Carney shot down multiple Houthi missiles last night. They were NOT aimed at the ship, but headed in a northerly direction." |

So what time is formation so they can give themselves a CAR?

Totally not propaganda. |

Also:
The Houthi missiles were not thought to have been fired at the ship. View Quote Might want to edit your title, OP. I know Zerohedge won't. Edit: I see you changed your source. |

This is GD. Clearly no one cares about accuracy. But will scream and stomp about “fake news” in 87 threads a day |

My favorite part of this thread is how everyone says it's only true if CNN and Fox or some other fake news outlet reports it.
Yeah, that really settles it, lol! I'm not going to defend ZeroHedge, which mostly just compiles articles from other sites, but to act like CNN and Fox have some monopoly on truth is the funniest thing I've heard this week, and I like to watch comedy... |

Pentagon just said they were northbound "land attack cruise missiles and drones" "possibly targeted at Israel"
|
|
Whether or not they were fired at our ships or Israel, one thing to note is that the distance of the closest tips between Yemen and Israel are 1,000 miles away from each other.
The terrorists having +1,000 mile range missiles changes the battlefield drastically. |

View Quote Some of those standard missiles can shoot down satellites in low-earth orbit. Some of them can engage surface targets as well as aerial targets. The wikipedia-level specs on those missiles are incredible. |
