Houthi Attacks: Yellowcake Has Joe Biden Yellow-Bellied

The indefatigable USS Carney (DDG-64) and her crew “successfully engaged 14 unmanned aerial systems launched as a drone wave from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen,” according to U.S. Central Command on Saturday morning. Meanwhile, shipping giant A.P. Moller-Maersk announced on Friday that it would be pausing container shipments through the Red Sea until further notice — limiting global access to energy and cargo — after numerous attacks from the same Yemen-based Houthis.

We’re playing defense (pickleball with hand grenades) while international trade evaporates because Joe Biden and his administration are too yellow-bellied to remove Iranian proxies from the board. Remember, this is the same man involved in the egregious 2015 Iran Deal under Obama who, after winning the presidency in 2020, then sought to revivify the deal with even more goodies for the mullahs and expanded freedoms to develop nuclear technology — all this while an Iranian agent was ensconced in the Pentagon with access to classified intel.
