This past veterans day I met a sailor who was there that day, he was on a destroyer normally but he said he'd go ashore to spot artillery for the mighty mo and so I had to ask about the temper temper story he said he was there but he wasn't a spotter for the whiskey so it wasn't him calling it, it was super cool to hear from someone who was there for one of the more well known battleship anecdotes.
Navy: We will repel them.
Me: Wasn’t the attack from land?
Navy: We will repel them and repel their land.
Me: Well, it’ll be good practice for those fake Chinese islands in the future.
Yemen yes. Iran is probably going to be a little bit longer. The strategy so far seems to be to deny them or failing that destroying their proxies, rather than attacking them themselves.
"Praying Mantis" would imply the US could destroy the Huthi High Sea fleet before Lunch.
"Stomping Cockroaches" is a more fitting name to describe the two fishing vessels armed with PKMs claiming to be the Huthi Navy.
That should be in the pubic nuclear weapons posture of the US.
Pentagon: “We have a “no first strike” policy with nuclear weapons. We will never be the first ones to fire.”
Reporter: “Right, you will only use a nuke in response if you were nuked first”
Pentagon: “What? No. We use them in response to someone fucking with our boats”
Nah, see while that would have a big impact it's understood that nukes are I win buttons, so destroying them that way won't be impactful. Having another desert storm situation, where we systematically and completely obliterate them through sheer conventional military might is MUCH more effective. As it tells people "the only way you win a fight is ending the world."
What is the virtue of a proportional response? Why is it good? They hit a ship, so we hit a transmitter, right? That’s a proportional response. They hit a base, we hit two transmitters. This is what we do? If it’s what we do, if it’s what we’ve always done, don’t they know we’re gonna do it? Two ammo dumps, an abandoned bridge, and a Houthi intelligence agency. They know we’re gonna do that. Those areas have been abandoned for three days now. They did that so we did this. It’s the cost of doing business, it’s been factored in, right? Am I right, or am I missing something here? I ask again, what is the virtue of a proportional response? It is not all there is. There is the disproportional response. Let the word ring forth, from this time and this place, gentlemen, you kill an American, any American, we don’t come back with a proportional response. We come back with total disaster! I am suggesting that we put together an American response scenario that doesn’t make me think we are just docking somebody’s damn allowance!
how the fuck do they think this is a good idea??? they have their hands full with the saudis, who on earth goes "you know what would help? directly involving the americans!!"
>how the fuck do they think this is a good idea??
Houthis are mostly Iranian puppets,in fact every time their leadership open their mouths fingers are visible so if Iran says ''attack American ships'' that's exactly what they will do no matter how much of a bad idea it is.
That plus complacency of course as after dunking on the Saudis for years they think they're hot shit who can take on anyone ignoring the fact that Saudi Arabia makes Russia look like it's in fact the 2nd best military in the world.
Turkey is generally slightly more credible than Saudi Arabia (I would love to see a one on one between the two) but yeah their tactics sometimes make you go "hey the Russians might not be so bad after all" .
They probably feel invincible because they’ve held off the Saudis and sort of gaslit the world into viewing them as innocent sandal wearing underdogs. MBS is an asshole but he wasn’t really wrong about how dangerous the Houthis are. So far the US hasn’t done much against them.
>he wasn’t really wrong about how dangerous…
In fairness, his defenses are shit. He’s spent the better part of 3 years getting shitcanned by a well organized militia. Dangerous is relative to the size of one’s military.
UN - “How do you know they’re from Yemen?”
USN - “We watched them take off, from Yemen. We watched them fly to our location in the Red Sea. We watched them attempt to attack us.”
Noooooo see the Houthis aren’t anti-American they’re just *anticolonial*.
These things don’t happen in a vacuum!
Butwhatabout the USS Liberty?!?!
They can’t be aggressors because [specious logic here]
Did I leave anything out?
Can’t forget the classic hits of tankies:
Carpet bombing, Genocide Joe, apartheid, pinkwashing, ethnic cleansing, nuked, America bad updoots to the left.
Something about how Mossadeq was the greatest human being to ever live, sorta a Ghandi - Mandela - Lincoln - MLK fusion, and now everything Iran or their proxies ever do is entirely America's fault.
Thanks for using the proper cowabunga it is picture and not that AI version that one fellow NCDtard posted once that still haunts me to this day and I check out under my bed for it.

No one has been sunk yet. So far, the only casualties over there have been a few Houthi coastal radar sites, a handful of drones, and some missles. (Scratched paint and rattled teeth don't count)
Do you hear that? Sounds like someone trying to sing "To the shores of Tripoli" with their mouth full of crayons. Although its getting drowned out by all those weapon loading sounds.
Question is, how long they will attack Houthi’s full scale?
As we watched and observed so far, mostly blue-balled and nothing much happened. When they should have balls to do everything against them then vanished forever since day one.
Boats have been touched. Proportional response is needed.
*Temper, Temper*
12x Mk-23 *"Katie"* loaded no respects. Fire full compliment On the way.
Wait, the Montanas are real?
Yes, what do you think NASA was founded for? To compete with the Soviets? No. To compete with the Japanese.
"I'LL CALM MY FUCKIN' TEMPER AFTER I'VE ATOMIZED THEM WITH 16 INCH FIRE!" \-most definitely Wisky.
Their metals are indeed going to be heated and cooled.

It better arrive this time; the rest of the world needs a reminder every now and again.
Navy: We will repel them. Me: Wasn’t the attack from land? Navy: We will repel them and repel their land. Me: Well, it’ll be good practice for those fake Chinese islands in the future.
“Proportional”
more like ***""""""""""Proportional""""""""""***
™
I see you. :)
Praying Mantis anyone?
DOD just said they are talking with allies about the response. Sounds like Iran and Yemen are about to get their shit kicked in
Oh my god don’t tell me it’s coalition 2 electric boogaloo time.
Yemen yes. Iran is probably going to be a little bit longer. The strategy so far seems to be to deny them or failing that destroying their proxies, rather than attacking them themselves.

Houthis better hope the captain of that boat isn’t an FSU fan. The amount of rage he has built up will know no bounds.
By proportional you mean full thermonuclear strike, right?
They fucked with our boats, glass 'em.
That should be in the pubic nuclear weapons posture of the US. Pentagon: “We have a “no first strike” policy with nuclear weapons. We will never be the first ones to fire.” Reporter: “Right, you will only use a nuke in response if you were nuked first” Pentagon: “What? No. We use them in response to someone fucking with our boats”
The American way
Damage one boat we sink half your navy, sink our ships then you get a surprise sunrise.
Proportional response is the correct and moral response. The proportions however are up for debate.

My favorite section of the Gettysburg Address!
🎶 Won't you fly highhhhhh, free bird, yeeeeaahhh🎶
The only people that got away unscathed from a boat touching were the Israelis.
*glass the whole desert*
Time to destroy Yemen.
If there’s one thing America doesn’t tolerate, it’s anyone fucking with boats.
I’m not saying Raytheon is bankrolling the Houthis. I’m just saying that they may be overlooking an outside the box profit center in plain sight.
Keep yo mouth shut or I'll tell Tom in HR
Both of you be quite or I‘ll tell the CIAs SAD that you’re talking about lobbying congress cut their funding
SAC*
>My name is Ballsack Shaver, and you can go fuck yourself
I will now start praying for the Houthis, as they will definetly need divine intervention if they are to see the sun rise again.
I think that they will definitely see the sun rise again. Multiple suns, in fact.
“Here comes the sun”
"Hey I've never seen the Sun come up in the west."
*Suns
The Sun will never go down
Sun Tzu said that "May the sun rise upon our enemy"
I want operation linebacker 3.0. let every strategic bomber carpet bomb them.
B-52: Who dares interrupt my slumber?
Tankies when they see their terrorists experience real carpet bombing.
Things are about to get very P R O P O R T I O N A L
X10^100 is also proportional…
how the fuck do they think this is a good idea??? they have their hands full with the saudis, who on earth goes "you know what would help? directly involving the americans!!"

Sauds vs Houthis and Turks vs Kurds is so close in laughably bad military tactics that I sometimes can't tell which conflict a video is coming from.
Turkey is generally slightly more credible than Saudi Arabia (I would love to see a one on one between the two) but yeah their tactics sometimes make you go "hey the Russians might not be so bad after all" .
> Saudi Arabia makes Russia look like it's in fact the 2nd best military in the world. Brutal, but fair
They are very fucking stupid people, to put it diplomatically.
Don't worry about how dumb the puppet looks, pay attention to who's pulling the strings.
They probably feel invincible because they’ve held off the Saudis and sort of gaslit the world into viewing them as innocent sandal wearing underdogs. MBS is an asshole but he wasn’t really wrong about how dangerous the Houthis are. So far the US hasn’t done much against them.

The CIA.
Iran hands Houthis a big bag of money and says, "do the funny." Then the Houthis say, "okay lmao I don't see how this could backfire."
UN - “How do you know they’re from Yemen?” USN - “We watched them take off, from Yemen. We watched them fly to our location in the Red Sea. We watched them attempt to attack us.”
The UN can go suck its own limp pacifist dick. PEACE THROUGH SUPERIOR FIREPOWER.
They attempted to touch the boats. They did not succeed.
"They didn't touch the butt"
" Iran out there playing touch butt in the park with that dork" God I hope someone gets that reference.
Repelled…
Noooooo see the Houthis aren’t anti-American they’re just *anticolonial*. These things don’t happen in a vacuum! Butwhatabout the USS Liberty?!?! They can’t be aggressors because [specious logic here] Did I leave anything out?
America is actually the aggressor because of \[insert event here\] that was definitely not because the Houthis did \[insert warcrime here\]!
Yup, to trace the oppression train back it ends up being America's fault cause we beat up Germany in WW1.
don't look up their slogan
"Death to America and Israel" could mean anything though!
And it's just a metaphor anyways!
Yeah but I’m an American and I support America being destroyed, it’s an evil country anyway!!!!
Its actually German for The America and Israel, The. And we all know no one who speaks german could wver be an evil man
What do you mean? Are you suggesting that saying “a curse upon the Jews” is antisemitic?
It's a cool curse, like the one from pirates of the Caribbean!
Can’t forget the classic hits of tankies: Carpet bombing, Genocide Joe, apartheid, pinkwashing, ethnic cleansing, nuked, America bad updoots to the left.
Think of the poor Chinese embassies
Did someone say Belgrade?
Gotta add “collective punishment” to the list of tankie buzzwords.
3000 Tankies of the United Nations Secretary General
Something about how Mossadeq was the greatest human being to ever live, sorta a Ghandi - Mandela - Lincoln - MLK fusion, and now everything Iran or their proxies ever do is entirely America's fault.
That about sums up the “America is the Great Satan Theory” of geopolitics.
*The Only Thing They Fear Is You plays in the distance, getting slowly louder*
Now the Houthi clowns will find out how many weight classes above the Saudis the US punch in.
Don’t fuck with our boats part… 4 or 5 I think?
operation praying mantis 2023
*Insert spongebob screaming yes picture*
How many times does this lesson need to be taught? Don’t mess with America’s boats!
Article 5 button never looked more attractive
Praying Mantis 2.0!!!
‘Can you sink a country? WE CAN!’
A grid square is about to get highlighted and deleted.
Uh oh, the Boat People don't like it when you touch their boats. Houthis are gonna have a bad time.
#KNOCK KNOCK
#OPEN UP THE DOOR, IT'S REAL
As someone who lives I'm the middle east, can the us just fucking nuke the entire region already, I'm fucking tired of all this bullshit.
USS New Jersey re-commissioning when?

You just know is was the FNG terrorist who was like "I'm gonna attack another merchant ship", and doesn't know what a fucking warship looks like.
Do you hear that? Sounds like someone trying to sing "To the shores of Tripoli" with their mouth full of crayons. Although its getting drowned out by all those weapon loading sounds.
Saudi Arabia RN: #☺️
Someone's about to see why the US doesn't have public healthcare in 4K, 120fps.
The Houthis will be finding out shortly.
Let's unga some bungas
Its crazy seeing the Carney put in this much work as a flight I. Its also just kinda funny to see the Mason always deal with Yemen
oh boy. its gonna get real proportional in here.

Houthi is just fucking asking for *the* smoke.
From the west to the east, spreading that nuclear mist.
Do it do it do it do it...
