Oh, I think the Obama/Biden/AWOL Austin brain-trust is too clever for that...
WWIII would help the economic and demographic issues…
Maybe we’ll have another Summer of Love.
Nonsense. Yemen is exactly where our leaders want us to be. It’s pretty much unwinnable, guaranteed to run as long as wanted/needed and in an actual “strategic” location. The only losses will come from the occasional missile strike on naval vessels and the special forces missions sent in to get those pesky insurgents.
Really a very nice “forever war” that will keep military budget dollars flowing for years or maybe even decades.
Neither the US nor the British ships can be reprovisioned at sea, so they have a limited ability to “stay in the fight” if it continues for any length of time.

So what do all those US Navy supply ships actually do? Please explain this mystery.
Russia misinformation and propaganda piece.
End ww3 now
Trump 2024
The Iranian missiles could be used by Iranian proxies to shut down the oil exports of Gulf Arabic countries like Saudi Arabia.
The Iranian-Yemeni proxy problem has to be dealt with.
Policing won’t end crime in American cities, but the police still hunt down criminals every day.
“In the 1970s the U.S. Navy had ship tenders that could pull alongside a destroyer and resupply it. Not today. The Vertical Launch Systems have to be reloaded in a port. That means the destroyers will have to sail to Dubai, which means the U.S. aircraft carrier they are accompanying will have to follow because it relies on them for protection from ballistic and cruise missiles.”
So what genius civilian-military ops planners envisioned this scenario as the war of the future?
Regardless of whether one supports it or not, its yet another game of “whack-a-mole” which is draining resources, dividing the nation, and making the USA look foolish
In normal countries, one should rely on “leaders” to be wise and avoid engaging the USA in useless, expensive and divisive engagements.
So who benefits?
In the words of Julian Assange: “the goal is an endless war, not a successful war”
Everything with you Zeepers and RATs is Russia. LOL
Russia lives large in your pee wee brains.
The article explains it. The missiles are vertically stored and launched. They cannot be reloaded at sea.
$2.1 million missiles to shoot down a $2000 drone?
“So what do all those US Navy supply ships actually do?”
Food, fuel, spare parts, maintenance items, and mail.
L
To protect non US shipping.
Meanwhile, zero for our border.
We will become North Brazil and FR Boomers will still be babbling about muh Israel and Russia.
Where’s that laser system thev’ve been working on?
Except that we no longer have an unlimited supply of budget dollars to keep "flowing for years or maybe even decades".
We are almost at "Game Over" for the "Forever War". And we are losing. We will need to do something else quite soon. For now, we still have choices. They get fewer with the passing of time.
Maybe we should just "kill all the enemies, win the war, and go home". Or maybe we had best not go to war at all for a few decades. I am open to suggestions that do not include what we are doing right now. That is not working.
Rather a lot of things are worked on and talked about and . . . never deployed because it was all silliness to begin with.
Look, people, look at reality. Is a US friendly government in power in Afghanistan? How about Syria? Or even Iraq?
The US is isolating itself from the majority of the world.
And posturing itself as having the moral high ground while it commands bombing and missiles against a country with no air defense. It has evolved to be what we do — attack helpless countries. Like Yemen, or Afghanistan.
So when US Navy supply ships were loading at Indian Island, WA weapons supply base they were just sitting there for the fun of it?
