Iran, who supplies them, literally said yesterday that the Yemenis were going to shoot at us.
I guess we need to give them another $6B and say there is no evidence they are involved. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It takes the adults a while to decide what to do. Immedaite counter battery fire? 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. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: It was reported in the isreal thread almost half an hour ago. 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? It takes the adults a while to decide what to do. Immedaite counter battery fire? 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. Not our problem. They fired at us, we will return fire. To NOT do so is showing weakness that will absolutely invite further aggression that may not get intercepted next time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. Not new, these guys have been firing missiles for years. |

How come I think there was a deal made? We'll transfer $20 million in cash, some small arms and some manpads to some small fringe group if they launch a missile strike that we expect to get intercepted by an American ship.
That's how the world is now. I just expect that we're getting played for someone else to make money. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What should I panic buy for this, gasoline, ammo, gold ? Food. If you like to eat, you need lots of food. It goes fast and prices are not coming down. Have enough fuel to run an emergency generator for a week. Ammo? If you don't have what you need now, forget it unless the price is good. The gougers will be along soon. If you reload, buy primers. I got powder and can cast bullets. I can't make primers. Whatever you can barter with but also think of what you might need to barter for. If you don't have a good First Aid kit, you need one. We have a traveling nurse in the home and a trauma surgeon in the family. We are blessed. Get your oil changed maybe filters too. Look at your heating system. Do you have enough money to pay for this winter's energy bills? We recently had our propane tank filled. We are good until August. Network, network, network. The lone wolves are the first to fall. Golden rule: If you can make it, fix it, or trade for it, then don't buy it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. I worked for Raytheon when one of those missiles shot down a satellite. It did require modified software. When it happened I was with a team working on a navy ship in Norfolk. |

Here it seems we were protecting Israel (again, if the story is true) from potential outside interference.

Saw a few things talking about R2-D2's angry cousin getting play time... but "launched from Yemen to Israel" means they would have to fly pretty near by the boat to be taken out by CIWS, wouldn't they? Could explain some thinking the ship was targeted.
Not aware the Houthi had missiles with that range. |

More than enough to reach anywhere in the ME. It was not known the Houthi had any. I guess we now know. My guess is Iran has established a base in Yemen and operating them, not the Houthis. |
