US President Joe Biden has said that attacks on the Houthis will continue even as he acknowledged that the group have not stopped their Red Sea attacks.

The US carried out a fifth round of strikes on Yemen on Thursday after a US ship was struck by a Houthi drone.

White House spokesman John Kirby told reporters that US forces “took out a range of Houthi missiles” that were about to be fired towards the Red Sea.

He said the American attacks took place on Wednesday and again on Thursday.

On Wednesday, a Houthi drone hit a “US owned and operated bulk carrier ship” which later had to be rescued by India’s navy. It came as the US designated the Houthis as a terrorist organisation.

“Well, when you say working are they stopping the Houthis? No,” Mr Biden told reporters in Washington DC on Thursday before he left for a speech in North Carolina.

“Are they gonna continue? Yes.”

          NATO expansionism meaning “independent countries seeking to join NATO because they fear getting attacked by Russia and Russia being mad about it”

          Yeah sure mr Geopolitics. Link your articles that I’ll never read anyways. I know the situation on the ground. How people would refuse service to you if you tried to talk in russian (saying “try speaking polish, we don’t like the (russian) language here”). How much hate there was for Russia in Ukraine. The only reason there was no “tension” was because there was a puppet installed that licked Russia’s behind. Then Ukraine revolted, and in return they got immediately invaded. But why the hell am I wasting my time explaining this to a tankie.

            Of course you won’t read any sources that contradict your world view.

            Sure you know more than the people on the ground in the linked sources that you didn’t read.

            And personally, i don’t even support Putin, but I can see the historical context leading up to 2014 and the current war.

            But in your words, why the hell am I wasting my time explaining this to a nafo shill.

              So Putin is threatening the countries bordering Russia, provoking civil wars and manipulating their governments. Some of these former Soviet countries are turning to NATO for protection and Russia now feels threatened after all this aggression and is blaiming the west for beeing such a cunt?

              😂 This Article is full of shit and Russia can fuck right off. They are not the victim here, they are the fucking agressor.

                The article has actual sources that prove that US agression and also via their nato vassals is the cause of what happened in 2014 up until now.

                When Russia tried to reach out to be more integrated with Western Europe they were continually rebuffed on orders from the US.

                There was no reason for this of course, the USSR already dissolved. No reason besides the US trying to prevent a united Europe.

                But anyway, i know you’re going to spew psychotic verbal diarrhea again, so I’m out.
