Biden has allowed the Houthis to run wild with impunity and they have went from a joke to a very serious threat in the region because of Biden fecklessness.
People scream about the $80 billion of military hardware we left the Taliban but nobody is talking about the equally stunning number of of billions of dollars were blown by Biden over the last year on using state of the art missile interceptors to shoot down obsolete, cheap ass shit stick missiles and drones the Houthis are lobbing at our naval forces and commercial shipping in the Red Sea as well as into Israel.
Everyone of these we could easily have destroyed cheaply and easily (relatively) in their bunkers or on the launch site before they could be used.
We have actually depleted the magazines on all the missile defense ships in the fleet and have had to have them re loaded numerous times.
It's not just insanity, it's dereliction of duty
It's almost like the Biden people want to disarm the US by depleting our reserves on worthless targets. Given the large number of fanatically pro Iranian elements in the Biden Administration, this is not unlikely
“It’s almost like the Biden people want to disarm the US by depleting our reserves on worthless targets.”
The enemy is China. Using up anti-missile resources weakens us dramatically in the war that China may start.
OTOH, I don’t worry so much about artillery shells to Ukraine. Artillery shells will not be a significant factor in a war against China.
