You actually think these events are out of the ordinary? That these are leading to war? You're kidding, right?

 

[Fenton Lum]

a) You've eagerly participated is the distraction.
b) I wouldn't worry about it, america will still be just as dedicated to endless war as ever, regardless of who "wins" this thing.
c) You'll still be able to blame the poor for your woes and the wealth redistribution out of society.

The small boats often harass naval shipping, but Yemen firing missiles at ships passing through the Straight - THAT is an ESCALATION.

Don't worry. obama got this.

Are you absolutely sure is not just under reported? That wouldn't be new besides it's most likely Yemen's Houthi rebels who in truth are not that much of a threat especially with missiles that aren't hitting ships, nothing to go to war over.

Are you absolutely sure is not just under reported?

Nope. Yemen firing missiles at US warships is NOT an 'under-reported' event. It is an escalation, but you are right - THIS incident is not enough to go to war over.

You're forgetting something, Yemen is not worth fighting over, they have nothing we need or want.

It's just wishful thinking on their part

No, I am not forgetting anything, as I said "THIS incident is not enough to go to war over."

The firing on of a US warship is not just about firing on a US vessel but also is part of a bigger picture - 'Freedom of Navigation' through and around the straights and in that area. It is in the best interest of the United states and the interests of our allies in that area to ensure Freedom of Navigation is maintained. THIS incident, again, is not worth fighting over; however, is Yemen, Iran, etc attempt to close the straights or control navigation in those International waters it will become a 'big enough' issue.

People who don't know what they're talking about usually don't see the big picture and have to have it pointed out to them.....you're welcome.

Iran is into harassment, trying to embarrass us or get us to embarrass ourselves they don't want war with us and will not try to close the straights. When you mention Yemen which faction are you referring to in that dysfunctional fractured country?

Here's a bigger picture, Iran does not have the capability to shut down the straights only the major powers do. Russia is still in the process of rebuilding their military and aren't yet strong enough to take us on face to face or via their allies, China doesn't have any real influence in that region and has enough problems of their own. All of the major powers know what closing the straight would mean and don't want to deal with the consequences and if Iran eventually develops nukes they are smart enough to know the dire consequences of using even one, guaranteed destruction.

That's right - go down swingin'...

Again, People who don't know what they're talking about usually don't see the big picture and have to have it pointed out to them. You'll actually thank me later when you get into a conversation about this again and because of what I enlightened you to you will be able to speak more intelligently on the matter.....you're welcome

Yes, but I think it would be better to favor at least neutrality and not support the Saudis over the Houthi. Plus it is the Sunnis who have Wahhabis and ultraconservative Sharia laws (at least a lot of the Sunnis from Saudi Arabia), not to mention terrorist organizations like IS.

OH GOOD LORD...you did NOT just type that...... (SIGH) Nope, you did!



Iran has a large number of fast attack small boats they can use to attack and stop vessels, to include oil tankers. they have coastal anti-shipping batteries that can strike vessels through the narrow straights. They have MINES they can use to close the straights, which they practice using quite often.

You really should educate yourself before you start making such STUPID.....sorry, 'uneducated'....remarks.
