This is the direct result of the US and others doing very little to stop a proven & growing menace

The West is losing the Battle of the Red Sea to a country without a navy...

Joe won’t do a damn thing about it, but when Trump gets back in, he’s gonna lower the BOOM on the Houthis.
That’s what I hope for, anyway.

May they rest in peace.
I hadn’t kept up and was shocked to hear that nearly 90% less than normal traffic is going through the area under attack due to ships being ordered to avoid it.
Costs of goods to the US and elsewhere will go up for anything affected (including the fuel as well as merchandise).

Gee, if there were only something that could be done.
Call Lt. Presley O’Bannon.

Out of curiosity I looked it up. The MV True Confidence is registered in Barbados, and so flies that nation’s flag. She is owned by a company that’s evidently based in Greece.
This “flag of convenience” stuff has got to stop. It can be fairly argued that the US Navy has a moral duty to protect all shipping. But it would be nice if more merchant ships paid US taxes and flew the US flag.
(And yes, I know that’s a minor point compared to all the chaos in the region.)

Give everyone 5 days to evacuate Sana’a, then nuke it.
Blame Iran.
