Reagan sank the entire Iranian navy for mining the Persian Gulf.
Where were the outcries? These are Russian shills.
The Huthies shot missles at US war ships. Biden clearly has an Article 2 responsibility to defend US troops and US shipping from these assholes.
‘everyone i disagre with is a russian shill’ and other methods of avoiding actual arguments
He gave reasons. You’re the one not bringing anything to the discussion.
Maybe burger empire should start respecting territorial waters of other countries and stop sailing its war ships in Yemeni territory.
The Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden are both international waters.
Yes this is a useful Wikipedia article. Especially the point just a little past the first line which specifically rebuts the point you are making:
“The territorial sea is sovereign territory, although foreign ships (military and civilian) are allowed innocent passage through it, or transit passage for straits”
And just to jump ahead to preempt your next argument, innocent passage is defined in the UN convention on the law of the sea here:
https://www.un.org/depts/los/convention_agreements/texts/unclos/part2.htm
Furthermore the Houthis are not making claims that the vessels attacked are violating innocent passage. Only you are for some reason.
Oh hey, could you spell out for us the reason Ansar Allah are disallowing passage for vessels of certain countries through their sovereign waters?

While Biden justified his Yemen strikes without congressional authorization, in 2020, when President Donald Trump was escalating hostilities with Iran, he was a staunch defender of the notion that Congress should be consulted before taking military action that could spark U.S. involvement in a regional war.
“Let’s be clear: Donald Trump does not have the authority to take us into war with Iran without Congressional approval,” Biden said on Twitter at the time. “A president should never take this nation to war without the informed consent of the American people.”
Hoist with his own petard, oof.
These aren’t comparable.
Trump wanted to attack a sovereign nation, unprovoked. That would start a war.
Biden is attacking Houthi Rebel In Yemen. They are not a sovereign nation and have been literally attacking us and others in the region. This will not start a war.
