I'm surprised Great Britain didn't destroy every base they had after they sunk a British ship recently. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

A Swiss owned freighter flagged in Belize, carrying fertilizer sunk a few days ago. I thought that was the only ship lost so far... SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

I have a solution arm all the ships, let them go weapons free on ANY intruder before the ship docks in port, offload the weapons to a second vessel and let it sit outside territorial waters no prisoners, only casualties | |||

Lots of wisdom here. Once violence is the chosen tool, that's exactly how it should be used to receive desired effects. Use it differently, and it doesn't work: the enemy makes different calculations. GWOT made this truth painfully clear, but we've learned no lessons. The same people who lost that war are waging this one, expect similarly disappointing results. Our general officer core in the military is too retarded to understand the simple concept, despite their lofty education & years of studying. | |||

agreed, and I'm not sure I'd call their education 'lofty' I know lots of academy grads that are really intelligent and want to do the right thing none of them ever become senior leadership because they don't drink from the fountain of social engineering and mediocrity | |||

Fatalities Reported, Crew Abandons Ship After Houthi Missile Attack; US & Allies Sending Warships https://www.zerohedge.com/geop...-attack-damages-ship Attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea continue to escalate and risk sparking a regional conflict as President Biden's Operation Prosperity Guardian to shield ships from Iran-backed Houthi attacks miserably fails. The latest incident involves a commodity ship hit by at least one anti-ship ballistic missile in the Gulf of Aden, close to the Bab al-Mandab Strait, marking the first fatality of crew members of the multi-month Red Sea crisis. "Two killed and six injured in a Houthi missile strikes on the MV True Confidence, a Liberian-owned vessel, in the Red Sea today, per two US officials," Politico's Pentagon reporter Lara Seligman posted on X. Seligman said, "These are the first fatalities of the Houthi campaign against international shipping since November." more at link _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

^^^^^ I like the way you think! [like button] "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Used to be sinking ships and killing sailors was enough to evoke a response. Even if it's not from us, why isn't someone destroying the houthies? Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

The Houthies have been waving their middle fingers at the world too long. Absolutely they need to be blown into obscurity. And the head of the snake - Iran. They claim they are not directing these proxies but are funding and supplying them weapons. Seems to me that puts them hard in bed with all the proxies. They need to be neutered.

Hmmm, don’t know anything about the munitions they carry, so this might not work, but maybe a couple of them could get “lost” and send a couple of Iranian tubs to the bottom while they were at it? | |||

There's very little sense in that statement. Anybody who's paying attention and in the neighborhood is seeing how weapons and sensors perform. The more important and salient fact is, those employing those weapons and sensors are ACTUALLY seeing how they perform, under real world conditions thus, able to extrapolate the necessary data to make improvements. In short, Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles fired at various ships, at various angles & trajectories have been intercepted at a very high success-rate. Drones, once feared to be too small for air search and targeting radars to pick-up, are visible and trackable. The Western air defense systems are working, period. The next questions is dealing with the shooters and their motivations. | |||
