Can the launch points not be neutralized?
Do they come off roof racks on VW Beetles?
If they aren’t zapped, someday one will get lucky,

The British pretend to be docile woosies. Sometimes they even believe it themselves. But you kill a bunch of British sailors on the high seas, or sink a vessel, and the mask will be off, and they will go full bloody-minded stiff-upper-lip medieval on you. They used to rule the high seas and the “bloody wogs” knew that, and just stuck to rioting in their turban-istans or English cities. This crosses a line, and the Houthis will learn the hard way that it’s a bad idea. We get to watch.
