So the West gets more and more pissed off with the ragheads fucking with merchant ships off the coast of Arabland, and (amazingly) does something about it, i.e. bombing the rocket-launch sites:
Of course, the Muzzies are responding in typical fashion:
HARROWING images show gun-toting young children in the crowd as thousands took to the streets in Yemen to protest the joint UK and US airstrikes.
Supporters of the Iran-backed rebel group flocked to the streets of Sanaa chanting “America is the Devil” after the overnight blitzes.
And the predictable rent-a-crowd pics follow:
…which gives me an idea.
I like the idea of targeting the launch sites, of course, but it strikes me that it’s only a partial response to this nonsense.
What we ought to do is wait till the satellite pics show the crowds have gathered and are doing the shouty-burny thing, and then launch a couple of follow-up cruise missiles loaded with, I dunno, a daisy-cutter or two and drop them onto the crowd of smellies:
…and really give them — or the survivors anyway — something to complain about.
Maybe that will shut these motherfuckers up, and make them think twice before playing their little reindeer-rocket games on the trade routes. It’s worth a try, anyway. They could hardly hate us more, n’est ce pas?
Unless, of course, we’re saving the cruise missiles and daisy-cutters for the Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
Uhhh… you have thought of giving away free keffiyas infected with smallpox?
Ah, the classics.
Cluster bombs. Leaves a better visual reminder of consequences.
I wouldn’t even joke about turning smallpox loose in the wild again. It’s not that I’d dislike seeing those cheering on war crimes dying of horrible diseases, but there’s a huge problem with biological warfare: sooner or later it gets back to your own people.
Fuel-air explosives would do the job just fine. Or a 100 pound beehive shell dropped every 10 feet.
The people arming and supporting the Houthi are the Iranians. Iran’s economy has two major vulnerabilities, the export terminal at Kharg Island and the container port at Bandar Abbas. How long does it take to replace the cranes used for container handling? (Asking for an enemy.)
I would hate to speculate or make an estimate that is wrong so we should just make this a practical exercise and take them out.
JQ
Can we use the same tactics on antifa? BLM? Or is there some constitutional issue I’m overlooking? How about along the Texas border?
Finally, someone with some logic.
Everyone paying attention to what is happening “way over there” while the invasion is going on right under their snoot is adolescently distracted. What are ya gonna do, wait til they kick your door in and steal all your tortillas?
Operation Arc Light II.
To paraphrase The Oprah:
You get a MOAB and you get a MOAB. And the folks over there get a MOAB too.
You all get a MOAB!
don’t they go to a central location five times a day, put their foreheads to the ground and their asses up in the air? That’s the place and time to send some missles and bombs since they’re all in one place.
I have no idea how much ordnance we delivered but I’m sure it was not enough at all.
JQ
Yeah, I’m pressing X for doubt. Not only are these shoot and scoot launchers that have a decade of experience NOT being blown up by the Saudis using missiles bought from us, but they also hucked one at one of our cargo ships with a “B5 – hit” result just a few hours later.
So we blew up their ATC radar at the airport and hand-waved like they’ve been targeting naval vessels with it. Because they think we are stupid enough to think that is how radar works.
Saving? HA! All those missiles have been given to Ukraine to waste on not killing Russians — at least the ones they didn’t sell to Hamas first.
Sorry Kim but I am a firm believer in Ripley’s advice…
“Nuke them from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.”
About damn time – but still not enough*.
*Enough: When Yemen doesn’t even contain camel tracks.
