US destroyer shoots down drone flying toward it in the Red Sea, defending itself in uneasy waters
A US official said the drone that was eliminated on Thursday by USS Thomas Hudner originated in Yemen.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is at least the third incident in the last month. In the last two, Yemen shot missiles at US and Israeli assets. Yemen needs to calm the fuck down.
Yemen is a puppet of Iran. The Houthi, anyway.
Yeah, they don't like us much.

Yep, as a place where:
According to the UN, over 150,000 people have been killed in Yemen (From wikipedia)
They should really calm the fuck down
I fail to see how that's relevant here.
Are they allowed to shoot Missiles at other People now?
Given that the US is an ally of Saudi Arabia, at least regarding the conflict in Yemen, yes they are. I mean they're also Irani puppets but pretending this is unprovoked when these people are getting killed using US weapons is disingenuous.
Guess the ship should've just blasted back then.
It would be their right, so long as they could hit the person who sent the drone at them, and only that person.
Yemen is not one country, but rather in a similar situation to Syria. One Yemeni government is supported by Saudi Arabia while the Houthis, who shot the missiles and are unrecognized, are supported by Iran
I just don't understand who they didn't track it back to its source and leave a crater wherever that is.
The US already provides weapons which allow the saudis to bomb the houthis
It's the material conditions making them shoot missiles, you see
Those are the best people to fire missiles at.
We've been supporting war in Yemen for a bit now. I think since 2014, so nearly a decade. This is the natural result of such. Maybe we need to just stay out of middle eastern blood feuds if we don't want to have our ships attacked?
Yeah man Yemen
