If they're winning, they'll forget very quickly what Saban did for them, and when future children attending Bama games ask their mouth-breathing parents why Saban has a statue, they'll say "because nobody's knocked it down yet."

I_M4_AU 8,014 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 My fault guys, I was under the impression the left lost their sense of humor. I see maybe that is not true, as you still believe Biden is a sentient human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it does is freeze their leadership’s assets and ban them from traveling abroad. They were already under UN sanction that did just that. Everyone already knows they’re bad news lol.

As we have seen, hindering humanitarian (money) aid to terrorists means not giving them money so they can use it for Drones to shoot at ships. Sounds like a sound plan. You can disagree all you want, but the Houthis are terrorizing shipping in the area and causing havoc. It is what terrorists do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re doing fine arming themselves being an Iran/Russia proxy. Not sending them food is not going to stop them from acquiring weapons. We’re very much the other proxy in that war, by the way. Who do you think was arming the Saudi’s, training them, and even refueling their jets in the air during sorties? We’ve been balls deep in the war for 8 years.

Providing them food allows them to spent more on nefarious activities as they don’t have to feed their own people. Im sure you have seen the *Humanitarian aid* arrriving in Gaza and Hamas intercepting that aid so it doesn’t get to the people it should. The Houthis are no different. Being politically corrrect is what terrorist could on. We’ve been deep in wars for decades, we should just not aid and comfort the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being politically corrrect is what terrorist could on. Here’s the thing though, the people don’t get fed otherwise. If the choice is between feeding the populace or waging war, the Houthis will choose war. Then we’re talking roughly six figures worth of death due to starvation. Just now, I_M4_AU said: We’ve been deep in wars for decades, we should just not aid and comfort the enemy. Our participation in Yemen has been particularly stupid. This botched raid occurred 9 days into Trump’s presidency and man if you ever want to learn how to radicalize the Yemeni people kill a bunch of women and children in a boondoggle. As an aside, I don’t put this one at Trump’s feet despite his approval. He put a bit too much trust into the military brass. Obama did too. This is a good thing about Biden, though. He’s an effective check on the brass. If there’s one good indicator, look at the dearth of drone strikes under his administration compared to Obama or Trump. It’s night and day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The optics are bad for Joe in foreign policy, yes he *lit them up* which is a good thing, but as usual Joe appeases until the terrorists get out of hand. Then he tries to put the lid back on, he did the same with Iran in giving in to the sanctions and giving them $6 billion to spend. That lid will be tougher to get back on.
