More seriously, the USS Truman has apparently been hit by the Houthis, sustained minor damage:

This was really brilliant strategy. It clears the way now for Democrat liberals (the few real ones left) to emigrate to Canada, leaving Bernie in full charge of The Party.

"You are a f-cking dimwit -sshole hateful d-uchebag."

Usually, when people say that to me, I try and use it as valuable feedback for self-improvement. Rarely works though.


…..and I feel blessed that only family members speak to me and write about me in such terms.

*I wonder what AunBear89 meant by that? It is always difficult to interpret what someone is truly thinking when they mince their words like that.

AunBear89 is (was?) such a master of subtlety, I could rarely figure out where he stood, vis-a-vis other posters and even the issues of the day.

The Banned can't even PM anymore? At least helltopay1 was able to try and explain himself to me, with some 80+ messages over the last couple years of his life.


Aunbear got banned? That's a shame. He was the best poster here.

March 14th, 2025:

"When I try to post I get a red letter message telling me my profile has been banned permanently."

Heads need to roll on this.
Not just $70 million dollar fighter jets.

Am I the ONLY one who is wondering why U.S. Carrier group Air Defenses weren't able to intercept this oncoming attack?

You've got to be kidding me.

Maybe. But recall also the reports of a Chinese company providing targeting info to the Houthis. Plus Iranian drone capability. They could have quite sophisticated capabilities

I'm not discounting their capabilities.
But we have extremely sophisticated capabilities as well.
Seems like someone was "asleep" at the wheel.

Again, where were the Air Defenses?

Air defense is not a field we're very good at, because we haven't had a real need for it, up to now, or at least up to the Ukraine war. The Russians, Chinese, N. Koreans, Iranians and even the Yemeni Houthis have invested a lot of resources building up their missile capabilities.

If the USS Truman lost a $70 million jet, it was because they were trying to save the $13 billion ship from getting hit. They were sailing in the Red Sea only minutes from being hit

Duh.

But if you think that our Air Defense isnt that good, you haven't been paying attention.
Since November of 2023, our Navy has defended against nearly 400 attacks in the Red Sea.
U.S. ships have been firing back at levels comparable to WW-2 battles. You haven't been paying attention.

Agree. Without saying too much, I may know someone who may have been aboard a ship in that region during this overarching period of Houthi attacks. The attacks - including those taken not just against us directly - are not insignificant. Re our air defenses...have we heard reports of any assets being struck?

The fact that the carrier had to perform emergency all-out evasive maneuvers indicates that the air defense could be breached.

Col. Davis has a good rundown of the situation, featuring a Royal Navy commodore whose ship was under attack during the Falkland War:

I haven't heard of any.

Typically, a U.S. Navy destroyer is in charge of identifying and warding off drone attacks.
Such as the USS Spruance, which was assigned to the aircraft carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln.

"60 Minutes" did an informative segment on our Naval capabilities in the Red Sea back in February 2024.

15% of all global trade travels through the Red Sea.

As I suggested previously, the United States does not lack capability.
Quite the contrary given the amount of evidence.

I repeat: Someone wasn't doing their job.
They were "asleep" at the wheel.

The trend began when Biden and those who were controlling him could not figure out how to respond to a spy balloon.

I guess you've already forgotten about how North Korea continued to fire more Missiles
after Trump received the "Beautiful Letter" from Kim Jong Un.

This was around the same time that Trump stated that North Korea had not been launching any ballistic missiles.

"I say it again: There have been no nuclear tests. The missile tests have all been short-range. No ballistic missile tests. No long-range missiles," Trump said.

He was 100% wrong about that.
Shocker!

Those damn Houthis! Look, I don't even know what a Houthi is, but we should annex them. President Trump should make an offer: "Hey Canada, Greenland and Houthistan (or whatever it is)... also Gaza... State #51 is there for the first taker. Better jump on it; there may never be another chance like this!"

He could have left out the word, "hateful" and everything would have been ok.


I know, right? You're not the least bit hateful, at least in my experience. Some people just reach for any insult that pops into their head. Sad.
