Congressman Waltz: US Spends Billions on Ragtag Bunch of Terrorists
The US is spending billions of dollars to fight the Houthis, who are a “ragtag bunch of terrorists,” US House of Representatives member Mike Waltz has criticized the US mission in the Red Sea, according to his words Politico.
“We are willing to spend tens of billions of dollars on what is really a ragtag bunch of terrorists who are proxies for Iran,” the congressman said.

It is noted that Pentagon representatives counter these arguments, pointing out that the Navy has always been engaged in protecting commercial shipping, and the intensity of the Houthi attacks using unmanned boats, missiles and drones required a response from the international community.
Earlier, Yemeni Houthi militias from the Ansar Allah movement shot down a US Army MQ-9 Reaper drone and attacked a ship in the Gulf of Aden. It was also reported that the ship was also attacked because the Houthis suspected it of violating the ban on entering Israeli ports, which became the pretext for their attacks.
