Wait till an American ship is hit, and we have bodies coming home. The foes only need to get lucky once. Will Biden look at his watch when the flag draped coffins roll off the big plane? My heart goes out to the parents, mothers, wives of the dead sailors—as it does to the Ukrainians soldiers holding the line. Peace is the best answer.
US ships are at risk, but I suspect the preferred target will be a UK ship.
UK Storm Shadows (which Russia believes operated by UK crews) were responsible for both the Moskva and this latest amphibious assault ship.
So a Houthi attack on a UK ship would be payback via proxies, with less escalation risk that going after, say, a US carrier.
