The US launched more strikes against the Houthis on Wednesday, marking at least the 11th time the US has targeted Yemen since President Biden started the bombing campaign on January 12.
US Central Command claimed the strikes targeted a Houthi surface-to-air missile. “US forces identified the missile in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and determined that it presented an imminent threat to US aircraft,” the command said.
Yemen’s Al-Masirah TV reported US and British strikes north of the city of Sadaa. The UK has joined the US for some of the bombings in Yemen, but CENTCOM did not say Britain was involved in the latest round.
Also on Wednesday, the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, said they fired missiles at the US Navy Destroyer USS Gravely. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea said US warships will continue to be targeted “within the legitimate right of defending our country, our people, and our nation.”
CENTCOM said the USS Gravely shot down one Houthi anti-ship missile on Tuesday night, but it’s unclear if it was the same incident mentioned by Sarea.
Some members of Congress have criticized Biden for bombing Yemen without authorization and say he’s violating the Constitution. President Biden has acknowledged his bombing campaign was not working to deter the Houthis but vowed it would continue anyway.
Since the first round of strikes against the Houthis, the situation has escalated dramatically as the Houthis began targeting American commercial shipping in response. The Houthis have made clear they would only stop attacks on Israel-linked commercial shipping if the slaughter in Gaza comes to an end.
The US backed a Saudi/UAE-led coalition against the Houthis in a brutal war that killed 377,000 people between 2015 and 2022. During that time, the Houthis only became a more formidable fighting force and developed missile and drone technology that gave them the ability to hit Saudi oil infrastructure. A ceasefire between the Saudis and Houthis has held relatively well since April 2022, but the new US bombing campaign threatens the fragile truce.
This round should do the trick….amirite?
We don’t have a government here in the US, we have a criminal enterprise being run by Zionists using ‘government’ as a front business.
Governments are criminal enterprises.
I don’t give a shit what you think you zionist apologist. I remeber you trying to pass off birthrates as proof of no genocide you bastard so eff off.
You remember incorrectly.
Of course you wont own your words. Let them burn in your brain till for the rest of your life.
I always own my words.
You making words up and pretending I said them is something you, not I, should own.
What I actually said was that based on population growth (not birth rates), either Israel wasn’t attempting genocide or Israel wasn’t doing a very good job at it.
Since October 7, the Israeli regime has been very, although not always intentionally, open about intending genocide. Whether it’s going to end up getting any better at it remains an open question.
This is exactly what I’m talking about. A reply that is beneath contempt. You knew damn good and well that the so called population growth was based on Ethnic Cleansing, Collective Punishment, and Genocide. Your stupid answer just makes you look worse.
The Israeli Jewish population growth, which was smaller than the Palestinian Arab growth, was mostly driven by immigration.
The Palestinian Arab population growth, whcih was larger than the Israeli Jewish population growth, was driven by people making babies who survived to adulthood to make more babies.
So, either the Israelis weren’t attempting genocide, or they weren’t doing a very good job of it.
You lying about what I said doesn’t mean that I said whatever you made up for me to have said because you wanted me to have said it.
I do not, however, consider your reply beneath contempt. It’s right smack in the middle of the contempt zone. If there’s anything more contemptible than a liar, it’s a liar who either can’t find a way to be, or can’t be bothered to be, even a little believable.

You are the liar sir, you denied making the comments which you clearly did. Projection is a classic zionist debate trick, it wont work anymore, the mask has been puylled off. The “population growth” which your Zionist addled brain LIES about was driven by FORCED DISPLACEMENT YOU STUPID ZIONiST TOOLBAG. NOW CALL ME A LIAR AGAIN MOTHEF…
Yes, because populations grow from being forcibly displaced.
It’s difficult to tell how much of your problem is lying about what people said, and how much of it is just being too abysmally stupid to read and comprehend simple English. I concede that your proportion of latter to former might be higher than my initial estimate.
You’re just mad that you’ve been proven to be a hypocrite liar and a fraud. Not my problem. I’m not Morpheus, you’re not Neo, and this ain’t a movie. It does no one any good to have any kind of a discussion with you as you arer incapable of accountability in any shape or form and your debate skills are that of a third rate hasbara troll. You are blocked and ignored from now on.
No, I’m not mad. When people lie about me and make shit up, I point out that they’re lying about me and making shit up, but it’s not a big huge deal. I’m 100% “accountable” for things I actually say or do. I’m not “accountable” for your self-serving fantasies.
You could give us a better description!
Thomas is not a Zionist apologist by any stretch.
Right! And if Trump, IF elected (no cheating), continues to kowtow to his masters in Tel Aviv, I will have wasted my vote! I know it’s almost impossible to do, but don’t vote for any candidate that gives Israel a blank check!
Governments are very often taken over by criminals. They don’t have to serve criminals, especially if people wise up to the ins and outs of divide and rule.
Some members of Congress have criticized Biden for bombing Yemen without authorization and say he’s violating the Constitution.
I’d love to see a vote on any of our (mis)adventures. They’d look just like the votes on any other bill that wants to limit our warmongering. Pathetic. At least then we can stop this facade that presidents are acting alone and congress isn’t in full support.
When Death to America and Death to Israel backfires.
So now, Death To Houthis?
Way to go Houthis!!!
I think we need a language monitor here… We are all dropping F-Bombs?….
