The Iranian-backed Houthis have clearly not gotten the super weak message Biden has sent them and have increased their attacks on international commerce in the Red Sea.
US CENTCOM reports that our military assets took out nearly 20 Houthin threats in the Red Sea just today. This include 12 suicide drones, 3 ballistic missiles and 2 cruise missiles.
Here’s the report:
U.S. assets, to include the USS LABOON (DDG 58) and F/A-18 Super Hornets from the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group, shot down twelve one-way attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles, and two land attack cruise missiles in the Southern Red Sea that were fired by the Houthis over a 10 hour period which began at approximately 6:30 a.m. (Sanaa time) on December 26. There was no damage to ships in the area or reported injuries.

As long as Biden keeps playing this ‘video game’ where he just keeps shooting down what the Houthis are sending toward the Red Sea, nothing is going to change except the tactics used by these terrorists. That’s exactly what Hamas did by sending thousands of missiles at one time to overwhelm the Iron Dome. That’s where this is headed until Biden finally grows a pair and takes the fight to the Houthis and Iran.
