A US official said the drone that was eliminated on Thursday by USS Thomas Hudner originated in Yemen.

    I fail to see how that’s relevant here.

    Are they allowed to shoot Missiles at other People now?

      Given that the US is an ally of Saudi Arabia, at least regarding the conflict in Yemen, yes they are. I mean they’re also Irani puppets but pretending this is unprovoked when these people are getting killed using US weapons is disingenuous.

        Guess the ship should’ve just blasted back then.

          It would be their right, so long as they could hit the person who sent the drone at them, and only that person.

      Yemen is not one country, but rather in a similar situation to Syria. One Yemeni government is supported by Saudi Arabia while the Houthis, who shot the missiles and are unrecognized, are supported by Iran

        I just don’t understand who they didn’t track it back to its source and leave a crater wherever that is.

          The US already provides weapons which allow the saudis to bomb the houthis

      It’s the material conditions making them shoot missiles, you see

      Those are the best people to fire missiles at.
