and we’ll just expand out target packages then! wait, never mind...
I think I’ve found a use for those two thousand pound bombs that the Biden admin. won’t send to Israel.
No worries! We’ll just shoot down the Houthi’s $2000 drones with our $2,000,000 anti-drone missiles.
Oh, wait. Somebody looks really stupid here. And it’s not the Houthis.

Yemen is waging a terrorist war against the region
It's time to stop treating Yemen like a victim afflicted with Houthi terrorists, it's time to treat Yemen like the terrorist proxy state for Iran that it is and act accordingly
One carrier group can reduce everything in Yemen to rubble that is worth reducing to rubble in a matter of days
Allowing Yemen to function and do business like a normal country while blowing through over a hundred billion in advanced weaponry on intercepting obsolete, crappy Houthi missiles from Iran and prosecuting ineffective pin prick retaliatory strikes aids against empty launch sites is a losing proposition
A really nice way to start dealing with the situation would be to shut down every harbor in Yemen to stop delivery of missiles and start dismantling Yemeni infrastructure to motivate Yemen to police its own country
Yemen leadership knows exactly who is shooting the missiles and where they can be found, if for no other reason than it's them
