Erdogan accuses US, Britain of trying to turn Red Sea into 'sea of blood'

[GEO.TV] Ottoman Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Friday slammed the US and British strikes on Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...

, and has repeatedly slammed Western countries for supporting Israel's campaign.

Asked by news hounds about the overnight air and sea strikes by US and British forces across Yemen in retaliation against Iran-backed Houthi forces for attacks on Red Sea shipping, the Ottoman Turkish president said these were not proportionate.

"All that has been done is a disproportionate use of force," Erdogan said after Friday prayers in Istanbul.

"At the moment, they are trying to turn the Red Sea into a sea of blood and Yemen, with the Houthis and by using all of its force, says it is and will give the necessary response in the region to the United States, Britannia," he added.

#2  I'm reminded of an early '60s cartoon. Showed Castro as a terrier biting Uncle Sam's leg. The caption was "Time for a kick in the teeth".

#1  Islamic mentality: if you defend yourself against an attack by Muslims, it's a crime.

p.s. Tayyip, what about the Uighurs?
