(Reuters) - The U.S. Central Command said on Saturday that U.S. forces conducted strikes in self-defense against six Houthi anti-ship cruise missiles prepared to launch against ships in the Red Sea.

U.S. forces identified the cruise missiles in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and determined they presented an imminent threat to U.S. Navy ships and merchant vessels in the region, the statement added.

Now blast their little pirate boats out of the water every time you see one.  Even at the docks, strafe them.
Biden is acting how a true Republican potus would act w.r.t. national security
You mean he's becoming more Trump like? LOL
  Trump is a rino, so "becoming more Trump like" is becoming less "true Republican" ... it's just becoming more retrumplican.
Trump. the only president that didn't start any new wars. Desperately needed again.
Wars are seldom declared, so unremarkable.  Last time the US declared is for WW !!.  Trump negotiated w/ the Taliban for the US to exit right after his term so that he can have peace there in his term.  He did nada after Soleimani's assaination led to Iran striking US forces in Iraq in 2020, which emboldened Iran to get Hamas to attack Israel in Oct 2023 and then get Houthi to attack shipping and get its other proxies to attack US forces again in the region.  His reneging on the nuke deal also lessened what Iran had to lose.  You are like arguing Chamberlain did good because UK didn't entered WW II under his watch, that kicking the can down to Churchhill is good.
Magabilly is still wrong a victim of willful ignorance.
