The remarks come as the US confirmed a fifth round of strikes on Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen.

US President Joe Biden has said that attacks on the Houthis will continue even as he acknowledged that the group have not stopped their Red Sea attacks.

The US carried out a fifth round of strikes on Yemen on Thursday after a US ship was struck by a Houthi drone.

White House spokesman John Kirby told reporters that US forces “took out a range of Houthi missiles” that were about to be fired towards the Red Sea.

He said the American attacks took place on Wednesday and again on Thursday.

On Wednesday, a Houthi drone hit a “US owned and operated bulk carrier ship” which later had to be rescued by India’s navy. It came as the US designated the Houthis as a terrorist organisation.

“Well, when you say working are they stopping the Houthis? No,” Mr Biden told reporters in Washington DC on Thursday before he left for a speech in North Carolina.

“Are they gonna continue? Yes.”

        I was talking about the cyber crime/ espionage attacks.

        And I’m pretty sure it’s the US plus assorted allies agression that is inflaming tensions around the world.

                  Yeah sure mr Geopolitics. Link your articles that I’ll never read anyways. I know the situation on the ground. How people would refuse service to you if you tried to talk in russian (saying “try speaking polish, we don’t like the (russian) language here”). How much hate there was for Russia in Ukraine. The only reason there was no “tension” was because there was a puppet installed that licked Russia’s behind. Then Ukraine revolted, and in return they got immediately invaded. But why the hell am I wasting my time explaining this to a tankie.

                    Of course you won’t read any sources that contradict your world view.

                    Sure you know more than the people on the ground in the linked sources that you didn’t read.

                    And personally, i don’t even support Putin, but I can see the historical context leading up to 2014 and the current war.

                    But in your words, why the hell am I wasting my time explaining this to a nafo shill.
