You joke, but I think the US Navy has quietly been given the go-ahead to fully respond to the next Houthi attack on ships
Patience with the Houthi games has run out, and Biden could use a victory as PR
Now they’re just waiting for the Houthis to attack ... and they will, because they’re too stupid to pay attention to the many warnings they were given
Watch the next coupla weeks
That’s the problem. You give 1 friggen warning. Anything after that is worthless if it isn’t extremely violent.
And, yes — that means all those shipping lines that register their vessels in Panama or Bermuda to take advantage of the favorable tax laws and regulatory requirements of those countries are on their own.
