This is the US narrative. The same narrative that claims the genocide case against Israel is meritless with no basis in fact.Pentagon press secretary Major General Patrick Ryder says US strikes targeted specific facilities and capabilities with the intent of disrupting the Houthis - and that they have not seen any retaliatory action.
“But we're, of course, prepared to respond appropriately,” he added.
Speaking to the BBC’s US partner CBS, Ryder said it's important to differentiate between what is happening in the Israel-Hamas war and what's happening in the Red Sea.
“You have the Houthi rebels that are conducting industry attacks against international shipping - over 50 countries have been affected by this, affecting the economic prosperity of multiple nations. So this is not part of the Israel-Hamas conflict,” Ryder said.
The Houthis have declared their support for Hamas and since November have attacked commercial shipping in the Red Sea more than 20 times using missiles, drones, fast boats and helicopters. They have claimed - often falsely - the ships were linked to Israel.
Hard to know who to believe tbh but no one knows anything for sure what the truth is from either side.This is the US narrative. The same narrative that claims the genocide case against Israel is meritless with no basis in fact.
You can believe this stuff if you want to.
...or you can believe that the Houthis have a totally non-human based perfect intelligence operation that allows them 100% certainty about their targets. Probably from Fujitsu based on the "no faults here, guv" Horizon Post Office system. I've got some magic beans I can sell you if you are interested?This is the US narrative. The same narrative that claims the genocide case against Israel is meritless with no basis in fact.

The original was "In like Flynn" and was used to mean someone was eager and quick of the mark. It was indeed a reference to Erroll Flynn and his prowess with the ladies.I thought it was "In like Flynn" [Erroll], but it relates to a speedy response to a completely different situation.
Both wanted to appear to be men of steel with steel resolve! Not British Steel mind!The PM and the leader of the opposition are in agreement on this action.
