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.”

      I was talking about the cyber crime/ espionage attacks.

      And I’m pretty sure it’s the US plus assorted allies agression that is inflaming tensions around the world.

                    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.

                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.
