U.S. military strikes Yemen after missile attacks on U.S. Navy ship

Oh, just curious.
how far off the coast of.yemen are all those US seamen?
does yemen have long range capabilities?

I'm not referring to the radar on the USA ships, that were not even hit!
who's to say it even happened?
You'd think that if they intended to attack a US ship, obliterate it, or at least hit the dam thing.
My spidey senses false flag.

It's not Yemen, it's the Houthi controlled portion. They have C802 missiles, which has a range of over 75 miles, depending on the version used.

So they wanna play rough?

a reply to: all2human

It sounds like the ships weren't hit because defensive measures eliminated the threat, and that is actually pretty damn impressive.

a reply to: all2human

You said:

Taking out radar as first strike targets would imply potential airstrikes coming up.

The radar sites that were hit were used to guide the three missiles fired at the US ships and the missiles fired at the Swift, that seriously damaged it. There is no reason to take them out for air strikes, since air strikes have already been hitting the area despite them operating.

They weren't hit because the ships targeted are designed to shoot down incoming missiles. If they were hit, it would be a false flag. The defenses worked, so it's a false flag.

oh, well then.
we mustnt let those missles get all rusty just sitting around.

a reply to: all2human

Yes because Yemen is a nice place with nice people and nothing bad ever happens there.

a reply to: all2human

So what if the Swift was involved. The radars that were attacked were still involved in guiding the missiles that hit it.

The Swift was operated by the UAE, one of our allies.

Oh, of course. The US is involved, so the whole thing is BS. I keep forgetting how this works.

a reply to: dashen

Yes, the US bought them from China just so we could take them to Yemen and pretend to attack one of our ships, so we could bomb Yemen.

Remember, war is only evil when the US does it. Everyone else is the good guy.

its very late.
are you being sarcastic?

a reply to: Zaphod58

To those unaware, Saudi Arabia and the UAE is fighting alongside al-Qaeda (and now the USA) against Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Once again, here we have the USA providing support to Al-Qaeda.

a reply to: all2human

What's your point?

Don't fire on US Navy warships and no one gets bombed..At least by us.

a reply to: dashen

At a guess? I'd say yes, yes he's being sarcastic.

a reply to: dashen

Yes.
