UK FOREIGN SECRETARY ON YEMEN STRIKES

UK FOREIGN SECRETARY ON YEMEN STRIKES
CAMERON: "If you don't act against the Houthis in the Red Sea, you are going to see more attacks.  

The lights are absolutely flashing red on the global dashboard and what we need at that time is strong leadership and a plan. 

The Right Honourable Grant Shapps MP for Welwyn Hatfield & UK Secretary of State for Defence: "Four Royal Air Force Typhoons have conducted precision strikes on two Houthi military targets alongside US forces. The threat to innocent lives and global trade has become so great that this action was not only necessary, it was our duty to protect vessels & freedom of navigation"

DESANTIS SAYS CONGRESS GAVE THE AUTHORIZATION TO ATTACK YEMEN IN 1801 - 223 YEARS AGO DeSantis tells me Congressional authorization is not required for Biden to strike Houthi targets in Yemen. He said the Founding Fathers already authorized the President to strike the Barbary Pirates in 1801, and that same principle would apply today to the Houthis in Yemen

TWO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS CALL OUT BIDEN FOR NOT CONSULTING CONGRESS BEFORE ATTACKING YEMEN Val Hoyle: "These airstrikes have NOT been authorized by Congress. The Constitution is clear: Congress has the sole authority to authorize military involvement in overseas conflicts. Every president must first come to Congress and ask for military authorization, regardless of party." RoKhanna: "The President needs to come to Congress before launching a strike against the Houthis in Yemen and involving us in another middle east conflict. That is Article I of the Constitution. I will stand up for that regardless of whether a Democrat or Republican is in the White House."

THE HOUTHIS ARE CLAIMING THEY SANK AN AMERICAN SHIP

General of the Yemeni Armed Forces Abdussalam Jahaf : “By the grace of Almighty Allah, we sank the first American ship with everyone on board using our missiles.” So we are waiting for recognition or not of the loss from America."

PBS QUOTING WESTERN OFFICIALS: The US and the UK are on a “heightened posture,” expecting the Houthis to increase attacks, and expecting more attempts to seize ships.

STATMENT FROM DEMOCRATIC MEMBER OF US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE VALERIE HOWELL ON HOUTHI ATTACKS: “These air strikes on Yemen were not authorized by Congress. The Constitution is clear that Congress is the only authority that allows military intervention in foreign conflicts. Every president must first come to Congress and request military authorization, regardless of which party he belongs."

President Biden on Strikes Against Yemen's Houthis:

"These strikes are in direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks against international maritime vessels in the Red Sea—including the use of anti-ship ballistic missiles for the first time in history.

These attacks have endangered U.S. personnel, civilian mariners, and our partners, jeopardized trade, and threatened freedom of navigation.

More than 50 nations have been affected in 27 attacks on international commercial shipping.

Crews from more than 20 countries have been threatened or taken hostage in acts of piracy.

I will not hesitate to direct further measures to protect our people and the free flow of international commerce as necessary."
